Chapter 6: Q-6-2 (page 275)

Question: Give brief explanations for your answers to each of the following questions: (a) You hold a 1 kg book in your hand for 1 min. How much work do you do on the book? (b) In a circular pendulum how much work is done by the string on the mass in one revolution? (c)For a mass oscillating horizontally on a spring, how much work is done by the spring on the mass in one complete cycle? In a half cycle?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

  1. Work done on the book is Zero
  2. Work done by the string on the mass in one revolution is Zero.
  3. Work done by the spring on the mass in one complete cycle and in a half cycle is Zero.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of work

Work is said to be done when an object is displaced from its actually position when an external force is applied on it. The work done due to the force is given by W=F鈫�.鈭�r鈫�where Wis the work done, F鈫�is the external force and is the displacement.

Show that the units ofP22m andmc2are indeed joules.

In the rough approximation that the density of the Earth is uniform throughout its interior, the gravitational field strength (force per unit mass) inside the Earth at a distance rfrom the centre isgrR , whereis the radius of the Earth. (In actual fact, the outer layers of rock have lower density than the inner core of molten iron.) Using the uniform-density approximation, calculate the amount of energy required to move a massfrom the centre of the Earth to the surface. Compare with the amount of energy required to move the mass from the surface of the Earth to a great distance away.

You pull a block of mass macross a frictionless table with a constant force. You also pull with an equal constant force a block of larger mass M. The blocks are initially at rest. If you pull the blocks through the same distance, which block has the greater kinetic energy, and which block has the greater momentum? If instead you pull the blocks for the same amount of time, which block has the greater kinetic energy, and which block has the greater momentum?

An object with mass 100kg moved in outer space. When it was at location 9,-24,4its speed was 3.5m/s. A single constant

force 250,400,-170Wacted on the object while the object moved from location 9,-24,-4to location 15,-17,-8. Then a different single constant force 140,250,150N acted on the object while the object moved from location 15,-17,-8 to location 9,-24,-4. What is the speed of the object at this final location?

A pendulum (see Figure 6.84) consists of a very light but stiff rod of length Lhanging from a nearly frictionless axle, with a mass mat the end of the rod.

(a) Calculate the gravitational potential energy as a function of the angle 胃, measured from the vertical.

(b) Sketch the potential energy as a function of the angle 胃, for angles from -210掳to -210掳.

(c) Let 胃=L=the arc length away from the bottom of the arc. Calculate the tangential component of the force on the mass by taking the (negative) gradient of the energy with respect to s. Does your result make sense?

(d) Suppose that you hit the stationary hanging mass so it has an initial speed v1.

What is the minimum initial speed needed for the pendulum to go over the top 胃=180掳? On your sketch of the potential energy (part b), draw and label energy levels for the case in which the initial speed is less than, equal to, or greater than this critical initial speed.
