A chain of metal links with total mass M = 7 kg is coiled up in a tight ball on a low-friction table (Figure 9.52). You pull on a link at one end of the chain with a constant force F= 50 N. Eventually the chain straightens out to its full length = 2.6 m. and you keep pulling until you have pulled your end of the chain a total distance d=4.5 m.

(a) Consider the point particle system. What is the speed of the chain at this instant? (b) Consider the extended system. What is the change in energy of the chain? (c) In straightening out, the links of the chain bang against each other, and their temperature rises. Assume that the process is so fast that there is insufficient time for significant transfer of energy from the chain to the table due to the temperature difference, and ignore the small amountof energy radiated away as sound produced in the collisions among the links. Calculate the increase in internal energy of the chain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The speed of the chain at the instant is 6.76 m/s.

b) The change in energy of the chain is 225 J.

c) The increase in the thermal energy of the chain is 65 J.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Given data can be listed below,

  • Mass,M=7kg
  • Force,F=50 N
  • The chain straightens out to full length,L=2.6 m
  • Total distance to pull the end of the chain,d=4.5 m
02

Evaluating the translational work done

The translation work done on the chain is given as,

Wtrans=Fd-L2

Substituting 50 N for F, 4.5 m for d, and 2.6 m for L in the above equation

Wtrans=50N4.5m-2.6m2=160J

03

Evaluating the speed of the chain

Part a)

By using conservation of energy, the translational work done is equal to translational kinetic energy, which is written as,

Wtrans=KEtrans=12Mv2

Where v is the speed of the chain relative to the center of the chain.

Substituting 160 J forWtrans , and 7 kg for M in the above equation, we get

160J=127kgV2v2=2160J7kgv=6.76m/s

Thus, the speed of the chain at the instant is 6.76 m/s.

04

Evaluating change in energy of the chain

Part b)

The change in energy is equal to the total work done by the chain is given as,

∆E=Wtotal=Fd

Substituting 50 N for F, and 4.5 m for d in the above equation

∆E=50N4.5m=225J

Thus, the change in energy of the chain is 225 J.

05

Evaluating the increase in thermal energy of the chain

Part c)

By using the 1st law of thermodynamics,

ΔE=Wtrans+ΔQ

Where is the change in thermal energy.

Substituting 160 J forWtrans , and 225 J for in the above equation

Δ²Ï=Δ·¡-Wtrans=225J-160J=65J

Thus, the increase in the thermal energy of the chain is 65 J.

It is sometimes claimed that friction forces always slow an object down, but this is not true. If you place a box of mass Mon a moving horizontal conveyor belt, the friction force of the belt acting on the bottom of the box speeds up the box. At first there is some slipping, until the speed of the box catches up to the speed vof the belt. The coefficient of friction between box and belt isμ. (a) What is the distance d(relative to the floor) that the box moves before reaching the final speed v? Use energy arguments, and explain your reasoning carefully. (b) How much time does it take for the box to reach its final speed? (c) The belt and box of course get hot. Is the effective distance through which the friction force acts on the box greater than or less than d? Give as quantitative an argument as possible. You can assume that the process is quick enough that you can neglect transfer of energyQ due to a temperature difference between the belt and the box. Do not attempt to use the results of the friction analysis in this chapter; rather, apply the methods of that analysis to this different situation. (d) Explain the result of part (c) qualitatively from a microscopic point of view, including physics diagrams.E

A string is wrapped around a disk of mass 2.1 kg (its density is not necessarily uniform). Starting from rest, you pull the string with a constant force of 9 N along a nearly frictionless surface. At the instant when the center of the disk has moved a distance 0.11 m, your hand has moved a distance of 0.28 m (Figure 9.51).


(a) At this instant, what is the speed of the center of mass of the disk? (b) At this instant, how much rotational kinetic energy does the disk have relative to its center of mass? (c) At this instant, the angular speed of the disk is 75 rad/s. What is the moment of inertia of the disk?

A sphere or cylinder of mass M, radius R and moment of inertia I rolls without slipping down a hill of height h, starting from rest. As explained in problem P.33, if there is no slipping Ó¬=vCM/R. (a) In terms of given variables (M,R,I and h), what is VCM at the bottom of hill? (b) If the object is a thin hollow cylinder, what is VCM at the bottom of hill? (c) If the object is a uniform density hollow cylinder, ), what isVCM at the bottom of hill? (d) If the object is a uniform density sphere what is VCM at the bottom of hill? An interesting experiment that you can perform that is to roll various objects down an inclined board and see how much time each one takes to reach the bottom.

You pull straight up on the string of a yo-yo with a force 0.235 N, and while your hand is moving up a distance 0.18 m, the yo-yo moves down a distance 0.70 m. The mass of the yo-yo is 0.025 kg, and it was initially moving downward with speed 0.5 m/s and angular speed 124 rad/s. (a) What is the increase in the translational kinetic energy of the yo-yo? (b) What is the new speed of the yo-yo? (c) What is the increase in the rotational kinetic energy of the yo-yo? (d) The yo-yo is approximately a uniform-density disk of radius 0.02 m. What is the new angular speed of the yo-yo?

String is wrapped around an object of mass M and moment of inertia I (the density of the object is not uniform). With your hand you pull the string straight up with some constant force F such that the center of the object does not move up or down, but the object spins faster and faster (Figure 9,62). This is like ay0-y0; nothing but the vertical string touches the object.


When your hand is a heighty0above the floor, the object has an angular speedÓ¬0. When your hand has risen to a height y above the floor, what is the angular speedÓ¬of the object? Your result should not containFor the (unknown) radius of the object. Explain the physics principles you are using.
