You lift a heavy box. We’ll consider this process for different choices of system and surroundings.

(a) Choose the box as the system of interest. What objects in the surroundings exert significant forces on this system?

(b) Choose you and the box as the system of interest. What objects in the surroundings exert significant forces on this system?

(c) Choose you, the box, and the Earth as the system of interest. What objects in the surroundings exert significant forces on this system?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The objects from the surrounding that exerts force on the system are the individual and the Earth.

(b) The objects from the surrounding that exerts force on the system are the floor and the Earth.

(c) Nothing will exert force on the system (box, the individual, and the Earth).

Step by step solution

01

Explanation of the system and surrounding

The things that are not included in the system is defined as the surroundings and the part that is selected for the consideration is defined the system.

02

Indication of the objects from the surrounding that exerts force on the system when box is considered as system

(a)The objects from the surrounding that exerts force on the system are as follows,

The individual and the Earth

The body of the individual exerts the normal reaction force on the box and the Earth exerts the force due to gravity which is also called weight of the object and it is given by,

W=mg

Here, m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus, the objects from the surrounding that exerts force on the system arethe individual and the Earth.

03

Indication of the objects from the surrounding that exerts force on the system when box and the individual is considered as system

(b)The objects from the surrounding that exerts force on the system are as follows,

The floor and the Earth

The floor on which the individual is standing exerts the normal reaction force and the Earth exerts the force due to gravity which is also called weight of the object and it is given by,

W=mg

Thus, the objectsfrom the surrounding that exerts force on the system arethe floor and the Earth.

04

Indication of the objects from the surrounding that exerts force on the system when box, the individual, and the Earth is considered as system

(c)The objects from the surrounding that exerts force on the system are as follows,

None of the objects from the surrounding will exerts forceon the system that includes box, the individual, and the Earth.

Thus, nothing will exert force on the system (box, the individual, and the Earth).

Figure 7.49 is a potential energy curve for the interaction of two neutral toms. The two-atom system is in a vibrational state indicated by the green horizontal line.

  1. At , what are the approximate values of the kinetic energy K, the potential energy U, and the quantity K + U?
  2. What minimum energy must be supplied to cause these two atoms to separate?
  3. In some cases, when r is large, the interatomic potential energy can be expressed approximately as . For large r, what is the algebraic form of the magnitude of the force the two atoms exert on each other in this case?

Question: A relaxed spring of lengthstands vertically on the floor; its stiffness is. You release a block of mass from rest, with the bottom of the blockabove the floor and straight above the spring. How long is the spring when the block comes momentarily to rest on the compressed spring?

8.0×1020kgA package of mass 9kgsits on an airless asteroid of massand radius 8.7×105m. We want to launch the package in such a way that it will never come back, and when it is very far from the asteroid it will be traveling with speed 226 m/s. We have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 2.8×105N/m. How much must we compress the spring?

A man sits with his back against the back of a chair, and he pushes a block of mass m=2kgstraight forward on a table in front of him, with a constant force F=30 N, moving the block a distance D=0.3 m. The block starts from rest and slides on a low-friction surface. (a) How much work does the man do on the block? (b) What is the final kinetic energy K of the block? (c) What is the final speed V of the block? (d) How much time ∇tdoes this process take? (e) Consider the system of the man plus the block: how much work does the chair do on the man? (f) What is the internal energy of the man?

Now suppose that the man is sitting on a train that is moving in a straight line with speed V=15m/s, and you are standing on the ground as the train goes by, moving to your right. From your perspective (that is, in your reference frame), answer the following questions: (g) What is the initial speed localid="1657950350828" viof the block? (h) What is the final speedvfof the block? (i) What is the initial kinetic energy of the block? (j) What is the final kinetic energykfof the block? (k) What is the change in kinetic energy∇K=Kf-Ki, how does this compare with the change in kinetic energy in the man’s reference frame? (l) How far does the block move∇x? (m) How much work does the man do on the block, and how does this compare with the work done by the man in his reference frame and with ∇Kin your frame? (n) How far does the chair move? (o) Consider the system of the man plus the block: how much work does the chair do on the man, and how does this compare with the work done by the chair in the man’s reference frame? (p) What is the internal energy change of the man, and how does this compare with the internal energy change in his reference frame?

A horizontal spring—mass system has low friction, spring stiffness 200N/mand mass0.4kg. The system is released with an initial compression of the spring of10cm and an initial speed of the mass of3m/s.

(a) What is the maximum stretch during the motion?

(b) What is the maximum speed during the motion?

(c) Now suppose that there is energy dissipation of 0.01 J per cycle of the spring—mass system. What is the average power input in watts required to maintain a steady oscillation?
