A2.0kgobject initially at rest at the origin is subjected to the time-varying force shown in the figure. What is the object’s velocity att=4s?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The velocity att =4sis9m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information.

Mass (m) = 2kg,time (t) = 4s, force vs. time graph :

02

Calculation.

For velocity at a given time :

v(t)=vo+area under the curve from 0 to 3s.

Area under the curve = Area of the triangle.

=12×B×H.

03

Continuation of calculation.

Now,

v(t)=vo+area under the curve from 0 to 3s.=0+12(6N)(3s).=9m/s.

Area between the 3sto4sis zero,

So, v(t=4s)=9m/s.

04

Final answer.

The object's velocity att =4sis9m/s.

A large box of mass Mis pulled across a horizontal, frictionless surface by a horizontal rope with tension T. A small box of mass m sits on top of the large box. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the two boxes are μsand μk, respectively. Find an expression for the maximum tension Tmaxfor which the small box rides on top of the large box without slipping.

A stubborn, 120 kg mule sits down and refuses to move. To drag the mule to the barn, the exasperated farmer ties a rope around the mule and pulls with his maximum force of 800 N. The coefficients of friction between the mule and the ground are ms = 0.8 and mk = 0.5. Is the farmer able to move the mule?

A spring-loaded toy gun exerts a variable force on a plastic ball as the spring expands. Consider a horizontal spring and a ball of mass m whose position when barely touching a fully expanded spring is x=0. The ball is pushed to the left, compressing the spring. You’ll learn in Chapter 9that the spring force on the ball, when the ball is at position x(which is negative), can be written as FSppx=-kx, where k is called the spring constant. The minus sign is needed to make the x-component of the force positive. Suppose the ball is initially pushed to x0=-L, then released and shot to the right.

a. Use what you’ve learned in calculus to prove that

ax=vxdvxdx

b. Find an expression, in terms of m, k, and L, for the speed of the ball as it comes off the spring atx=0.

A particle of mañs smoving along the x-axis experiences the net forceFx=ct, where cis a constant. The particle has velocity v0xatt=0. Find an algebraic expression for the particle's velocity vx at a later timet.

Sam, whose mass is 75kg, takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 200N and a coefficient of kinetic friction on snow of 0.10. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only10 s.

a. What is Sam’s top speed?

b. How far has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop?
