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.

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 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.

A rod of length Land negligible mass is attached to a uniform disk of mass Mand radius R (Figure 9.64). A string is wrapped around the disk, and you pull on the string with a constant force F . Two small balls each of mass mslide along the rod with negligible friction. The apparatus starts from rest, and when the center of the disk has moved a distance d, a length of string shas come off the disk, and the balls have collided with the ends of the rod and stuck there. The apparatus slides on a nearly frictionless table. Here is a view from above:

(a) At this instant, what is the speed vof the center of the disk? (b) At this instant the angular speed of the disk isÓ¬ . How much internal energy change has there been?

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
