Chapter 2: Question: A (page 84)

cart rolls with low friction on a track. A fan is mounted on the cart, and when the fan is turned on, there is a constant force acting on the cart. Three different experiments are performed:

(a) Fan off: The cart is originally at rest. You give it a brief push, and it coasts a long distance along the track in the +x direction, slowly coming to a stop.

(b) Fan forward: The fan is turned on, and you hold the cart stationary. You then take your hand away, and the cart moves forward, in the +x direction. After traveling a long distance along the track, you quickly stop and hold the cart.

(c) Fan backward: The fan is turned on facing the 鈥渨rong鈥� way, and you hold the cart stationary. You give it a brief push, and the cart moves forward, in the +x direction, slowing down and then turning around, returning to the starting position, where you quickly stop and hold the cart. Figure 2.57 displays four graphs of px (numbered 1鈥�4), the x component of momentum, vs. time. The graphs start when the cart is at rest, and end when the cart is again at rest. Match the experiment with the correct graph.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The experiment showing fan off on the cart is 2

(B) The experiment showing fan forward on the cart is 4

(C) The experiment showing fan backwards on the cart is 1

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

  • The graph will start when cart is at rest and will end when the cart is at rest.
  • The cart moves in forward direction.
02

Concept of friction

It is friction that prevents the slide of two or more objects that have different coefficients of friction. Friction may come in several forms: When two solid surfaces come into contact, dry friction acts as a counterforce to the movement of the two surfaces relative to each other.

03

Evaluation of momentum-time graph

The slope of momentum-time graph will give acceleration.

In first experiment, the cart is originally at rest, a push is given to the cart, the cart moves in positive x direction and slowly it comes to rest, in this case the fan on cart is off. The second graph satisfies the condition here the graph starts with rest accelerates to a positive direction, reaches its maximum acceleration and after this point its acceleration starts to decrease slowly at slow rate and at last the cart stops.

In the second experiment, you鈥檝e switched on the fan and are holding the cart still. When you remove your hand from the cart, it begins to travel ahead in a clockwise direction (+x). Once you've covered a significant distance, you swiftly halt and hold the cart. The fourth graph satisfies the above condition in which the cart is at still position,

reaches the maximum acceleration and then decreases slowly.

In the third experiment, you've had the fan facing the "wrong" direction and the cart isn't moving. Give it a fast push and the cart drives ahead, in the direction of the +x axis, before slowing down and finally turning around and returning towards the starting location. The first graph depicts the situation correctly here the cart starts from rest and accelerates with a positive acceleration then goes to rest and again takes the initial position.

Thus, the graphs are identified according to the situations given in the experiment.

A space station has the form of a hoop of radius R=14m, with mass M=6250 kg(Figure 11.91). Initially its center of mass is not moving, but it is spinning with angular speed 蝇0=0.0013rad/sThen a small package of mass m=6kgis thrown by a spring-loaded gun toward a nearby spacecraft as shown; the package has a speedv=40m/s after launch. Calculate the center-of-mass velocity of the space station and its rational speed after the launch.

In gold at room temperature, the mobility of mobile electrons is about 4.3脳10-3(msVm), and there are about 5.9脳1028mobile electrons per cubic meter. Calculate the conductivity of gold, including correct units.

You throw a metal block of mass \(0.25\;\;{\rm{kg}}\)into the air, and it leaves your hand at time\(t = 0\)at location\(\langle 0,2,0\rangle \;{\rm{m}}\)with velocity\(\langle 3,4,0\rangle \;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\). At this low velocity air resistance is negligible. Using the iterative method shown in Section\(2.4\)with a time step of\(0.05\;\;{\rm{s}}\),calculate step by step the position and velocity of the block at\(t = 0.05\;\;{\rm{s}},t = 0.10\;\;{\rm{s}}\), and\(t = 0.15\;\;{\rm{s}}\)

In figure a barbell spins around a pivot at its center at\(A\). The barbell consists of two small balls, each with mass \(500{\rm{ g}}\left( {0.5{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\), at the ends of a very low mass rod of length the \(d = 20{\rm{ cm}}\left( {0.2{\rm{ m}}} \right)\) the radius of rotation is\(0.1{\rm{ m}}\)). The barbell spins clockwise with angular speed \(80{\rm{ }}{{{\rm{rad}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\rm{rad}}} {\rm{s}}}} \right.s} {\rm{}}}\)

We can calculate the angular momentum and kinetic energy of this object in two different ways, by treating the object as two separate balls or as one barbell. Use the usual coordinate system, with\(x\)to the right,\(y\)toward the top of the page, and\(z\)out of the page, toward you.

I . Treat the object as two separate balls. Calculate the following quantities:

a.The speed of ball 1, (b)\({\overrightarrow L _{trans,1,A}}\)of ball 1, (c)\({\overrightarrow L _{trans,2,A}}\)of ball 2, (d)\({\overrightarrow L _{tot,A}}\)(e) the translational kinetic energy of ball 1, (f) the translational kinetic energy of ball 3, (g) the total kinetic energy of the barbell.

II .Treat the object as one barbell. Calculate the following quantities:

(h) The moment of inertia\(I\)of the barbell, (i)\(\overrightarrow \omega \)expressed as a vector, (j)\({\overrightarrow L _{rot}}\)of the barbell, (k)\({K_{rot}}\).

III. Compare the two approaches:

  1. Compare your result for\({\overrightarrow L _{tot,A}}\)in part\(I\)to your result for\({\overrightarrow L _{rot}}\)in part\(II\). Should these quantities be the same or different?
  2. Compare your result for\({K_{total}}\)in part\(I\)to your result for\({K_{rot}}\)in part\(II\). Should these quantities be the same, or different?

A carbon resistor is 5 mm long and has a constant cross section of0.2mm2The conductivity of carbon at room temperature is 蟽=3脳104perohm-m.In a circuit its potential at one end of the resistor is 12 V relative to ground, and at the other end the potential is 15 V. Calculate the resistance Rand the current I (b) A thin copper wire in this circuit is 5 mm long and has a constant cross section of 0.2mm2.The conductivity of copper at room temperature is 蟽=6脳107ohm-1m-1.The copper wire is in series with the carbon resistor, with one end connected to the 15 V end of the carbon resistor, and the current you calculated in part (a) runs through the carbon resistor wire. Calculate the resistance Rof the copper wire and the potential Vatendat the other end of the wire.

You can see that for most purposes a thick copper wire in a circuit would have practically a uniform potential. This is because the small drift speed in a thick, high-conductivity copper wire requires only a very small electric field, and the integral of this very small field creates a very small potential difference along the wire.
