Chapter 6: Q5CP (page 226)

You push a heavy crate out of a carpeted room and down a hallway with a waxed linoleum floor. While pushing the crate 2.3mout of the room you exert a force of 30N; while pushing it 8mdown the hallway you exert a force of 15N. How much work do you do in all?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total work done after pushing the heavy crate is W = 189 N - m

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Work

The work is a unit of measurement for the amount of energy transferred when an object is moved over a distance or displaced by an external force.

02

Explanation of given question

The magnitude of the force changes here, hence we could not determine the work done for a constant force. Therefore, the total work done equals the summation of the work done for each path and it will be given by

W=鈭�F-鈭�r

03

Determine total work done after pushing heavy crate

They gave two paths in the question, hence the total work done in equation (1) will be calculated by

W=鈭�Fr=30N2.3m+15N8m=189N-m

Therefore, Total work done after pushing the heavy crate is W = 189 N - m

A fan cart of mass 0.8 kginitially has a velocity of (0.9,0,0)m/s. Then the fan is turned on, and the air exerts a constant force of (-0.3,0,0)Non the cart for 1.5s. (a) What is the change in momentum of the fan cart over this 1.5 sinterval? (b) What is the change in kinetic energy of the fan cart over this 1.5 sinterval?

The point of this question is to compare rest energy and kinetic energy at low speeds. A baseball is moving at a speed of 17m/s. Its mass is 145g(0.145kg). (a) What is its rest energy? (b) Is it okay to calculate its kinetic energy using the expressionrole="math" localid="1657713286046" 12mv2? (c) What is its kinetic energy? (d) Which is true? A. the kinetic energy is approximately equal to the rest energy. B. the kinetic energy is much bigger than the rest energy. C. the kinetic energy is much smaller than the rest energy.

A0.5kg teddy bear is nudged off a window sill and falls 2m to the ground. (a) What is the kinetic energy at the instant it hits the ground? What is its speed? What assumptions or approximations did you make in this calculation?

(b) A 1.0kg flowerpot is nudged off a window sill and falls 2m to the ground. What is the kinetic energy at the instant it hits the ground? What is its speed? How do the speed and kinetic energy compare to that of the teddy bear in part (a)?

A particle moves inside a circular glass tube under the influence of a tangential force of constant magnitude F (Figure 6.78). Explain why we cannot associate a potential energy with this force. How is this situation different from the case of a block on the end of a string, which is swung in a circle?

In the preceding example, at the final speed, 0.9997 c, what was the particle energy as a multiple of the rest energymc2 ? (That is, if it was twice mc2, writemc2 .) What was the kinetic energy as a multiple ofmc2? Was the kinetic energy large or small compared to the rest energy? At low speeds, is the kinetic energy large or small compared to the rest energy?
