In Problem 2, what is the speed of the car at (a) point A, (b) point B(c) point C?(d) How high will the car go on the last hill, which is too high for it to cross? (e) If we substitute a second car with twice the mass, what then are the answers to (a) through and (d)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The speed of the car at pointA is17.0m/s

b) The speed of the car at pointB is26.5m/s

c) the speed of the car at pointC is33.4m/s

d) Final height56.7m

e) Even if a second car has twice the mass, it is evident that the above results do not depend on mass. Thus, a different mass for the coaster must lead to the same results.

Step by step solution

01

Given

i) Mass of carm=825鈥嬧赌塳驳

ii) The height h=42鈥尘

iii) Gravitational acceleration g=9.8m/s2

iv) Initial velocityv0=17m/s

To understand the concept

The mechanical energy Emecof a system is the sum of its kinetic energy Kand potential energy U.

Formula:

K2+U2=K1+U1

K=12mv02

U=mgh

03

(a) Calculate the speed of the car at point A

At pointA,UA=mgh and at initial pointU0=mgh.

That means initial position of the car and point A is on same height, so,

UA=U0

K0+U0=KA+UA

K0=KA

鈭磖ole="math" localid="1661168162281" v0=vA=17.0m/s

04

(b) Calculate the speed of the car at point B

The height of pointB from bottom=h/2

UB=mgh2

From principle of conservation of mechanical energy,

K0+U0=KB+UB

12mv02+mgh=12mvB2+mgh2

We have to find VB, so rearrange the equation; we can get

vB2=2(mgh2+12mv02)m

vB=2(mgh2+12mv02)m

vB=(gh+v02)

vB=(9.8042.0+17.02)

vB=700.6

vB=26.5m/s

05

(c) Calculate the speed of the car at point C

The height of pointfrom bottom=0

UC=0

From principle of conservation of mechanical energy,

K0+U0=KC+UC

12mv02+mgh=12mvC2+0

We have to find vB, so rearrange the equation; we can get

vC2=2(mgh+12mv02)m

vC=2(gh+12v02)

vC=(2gh+v02)

vC=(29.8042.0+17.02)

vC=1112.2

vC=33.4m/s

06

(d) Calculate how high will the car go on the last hill, which is too high for it to cross

To find the 鈥渇inal鈥 height, we setKf=0.In this case, we have

K0+U0=Kf+Uf

12mv02+mgh=12mvB2+mghf

hf=h+v022g

hf=42.0+17229.80

hf=56.7m

07

(e) Calculate the answers to (a) through and (d) if we substitute a second car with twice the mass

From the formula, we can see that the results derived above are independent of mass. So change in mass would not change the values found above.

A block with mass m =2.00 kg is placed against a spring on a frictionless incline with angle 30.0掳 (Figure). (The block is not attached to the spring.) The spring, with spring constant k =19.6 N/cm, is compressed 20.0 cm and then released. (a) What is the elastic potential energy of the compressed spring? (b) What is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the block-Earth system as the block moves from the release point to its highest point on the incline? (c) How far along the incline is the highest point from the release point?

Fasten one end of a vertical spring to a ceiling, attach a cabbage to the other end, and then slowly lower the cabbage until the upward force on it from the spring balances the gravitational force on it. Show that the loss of gravitational potential energy of the cabbage鈥揈arth system equals twice the gain in the spring鈥檚 potential energy.

A rope is used to pull a 3.57 kgblock at constant speed 4.06 malong a horizontal floor. The force on the block from the rope is 7.68 Nand directed15.0above the horizontal. What are: (a) the work done by the rope鈥檚 force, (b) the increase in thermal energy of the block-floor system, and (c) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and floor?

Two children are playing a game in which they try to hit a small box on the floor with a marble fired from a spring-loaded gun that is mounted on a table. The target box is horizontal distance D = 2.20 mfrom the edge of the table; see Figure. Bobby compresses the spring 1.10cm, but the center of the marble falls 27.0 cmshort of the center of the box. How far should Rhoda compress the spring to score a direct hit? Assume that neither the spring nor the ball encounters friction in the gun.
