You hold up an object that consists of two blocks at rest, each of massM=5kg, connected by a low-mass spring. Then you suddenly start applying a larger upward force of constant magnitudeF=167N(which is greater than2Mg). Figure9.60shows the situation some time later, when the blocks have moved upward, and the spring stretch has increased.

The heights of the centers of the two blocks are as follows:

Initial and final positions of block 1:y1i=0.3m,y1f=0.5m

Initial and final positions of block 2:y2i=0.7m,y2f=1.2m

It helps to show these heights on a diagram. Note that the initial center of mass of the two blocks isy1i+y1i/2, and the final center of mass of the two blocks isrole="math" localid="1656911769231" y1f+y1f/2. (a) Consider the point particle system corresponding to the two blocks and the spring. Calculate the increase in the total translational kinetic energy of the two blocks. It is important to draw a diagram showing all of the forces that are acting, and through what distance each force acts. (b) Consider the extended system corresponding to the two blocks and the spring. Calculate the increase of(Kvib+Us), the vibrational kinetic energy of the two blocks (their kinetic energy relative to the center of mass) plus the potential energy of the spring. It is important to draw a diagram showing all of the forces that are acting, and through what distance each force acts.

Short Answer

Significance of the change in energy

The change in the energy is described as the addition of the work done by the system and the heat added to the system. Moreover, the change in the energy also states that the energy can also be converted from one form to another form.

(a) Determination of the translational energy

The free body diagram showing the acting forces along with the distance has been provided below-

Here, the force exerted on the first block whose height is 0.3mis2Mgand the force exerted on the second block whose height is1.2mismorethan2Mg.

The equation of the energy of the point particle system can be expressed as:

∆E=W+Q

Here, Wis the work done by the system andQis the heat added to the system.

The equation of the increase in the total translational kinetic energy can be expressed as:

∆Ktranslation=Fnetexternal∆r→CM

Here,Fnetextenalis the net external force and ∆r→CMis the difference between the initial and the final center of mass

The equation of the net force can be expressed as:

Fnet=F-Fgrav

…(¾±¾±)

Here, Fis the force exerted and Fgravis the gravitational force.

The equation of the difference of the final and the initial center of mass can be expressed as:

yCM.f-YCM.I=y1f+y1f2-y1i+y1i2

…(¾±¾±¾±)

Here, yCM.fis the final andyCM.iis the initial center of mass in the ydirection andy1fandy1iare the final and the initial center of mass in the first case and y2iand y2fare the initial and the final center of mass in the second case.

The above equation (i) can also be written as:

∆Ktranslational=FnetyCM.f-yCM.i

Substitute the values of equation (ii) and equation (iii) in the above equation.

∆Ktranslational=F-Fgravy1f+y2f2-y1i+y2i2

Substitute all the values in the above expression.

∆Ktranslational=167N-2×5kg×9.8m/s0.5m+1.2m2-0.3m+0.7m2=167N-98kg.m/s21N1kg.m/s21.7m2-1m2=69N×0.35m=24.15N.m×1J1N.m=24.15J

Thus, the increase in the total translational kinetic energy of the two blocks is 24.15J.

(b) Determination of the vibrational kinetic energy and the potential energy

The equation of the energy of the real system can be expressed as:

∆E1=W+Q

Here,Wis the work done by the system andQis the heat added to the system.

The equation of the increase in the total energy can be expressed as:

∆Ktotal=∑F→1∆r1+∆F→2∆r2+......

Here, ∆Ktotalis the total kinetic energy and∑F→1is the summation of all the acting forces.

Using the value of the other kinetic energies, the values of the above equation can be expressed as:

∆Ktranslation+∆Kvibration+∆Uspring=Fy2f-y2i-2MgyCM,f-yCM,i∆Kvibration+∆Uspring=Fy2f-y2i-2Mgy1f-y2i2-y1i-y2i2-∆Ktranslation

Here, ∆Ktranslationis the translational kinetic energy, ∆Kvibrationis the vibrational energy and ∆Uspringis the potential energy

Substituting all the values in the above equation.

∆Ktranslation+∆Uspring=167N1.2m-0.7m-2×5kg×9.8m/s20.5m+0.7m2-0.3m+0.7m2-∆Ktranslation=83.5N.m×1J1N.m-98kg.m/s20.35m-24.15J=83.5J-34.3kg.m2/s2×1J1kg.m2/s2-24.15J=25.5J

Thus, the increase of the vibrational kinetic energy plus the potential energy of the spring is 25.5J.

A string is wrapped around a uniform disk of mass M and radius R. Attached to the disk are four low-mass rods of radius b, each with a small mass m at the end (Figure 9.63).

The apparatus is initially at rest on a nearly frictionless surface. Then you pull the string with a constant force F. At the instant when the center of the disk has moved a distance d, an additional length w of string has unwound off the disk. (a) At this instant, what is the speed of the center of the apparatus? Explain your approach. (b) At this instant, what is the angular speed of the apparatus? Explain your approach.

A solid uniform-density sphere is tied to a rope and moves in a circle with speed v. The distance from the center of the circle to the center of the sphere is d, the mass of the sphere is M, and the radius of the sphere is R. (a) What is the angular speed Ó¬? (b) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the sphere? (c) What is the total kinetic energy of the sphere?

(a) Relative to the man, where is the mass of the system consisting of man-woman, and canoe? (Hint: Choose a specific coordinate system with a specific origin.) (b) Suppose that the man moves quickly to the center of the canoe and sits down there. How far does the canoe move in the water? Explain your work and your assumptions.

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 1.5kg and moment of inertia 0.0015kg-m2(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 a yo-yo; nothing but the vertical string touches the object. When your hand is a height y0=0.25mabove the floor, the object has an angular speed Ó¬0=12rad/s. When your hand has risen to a height y=0.35m above the floor, what is the angular speed of the object? Your answer must be numeric and not contain the symbol F.
