Chapter 6: Q. 48 (page 156)

An object of mass m is at rest at the top of a smooth slope of height hand lengthL. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface, 渭k, is small enough that the object will slide down the slope after being given a very small push to get it started. Find an expression for the object鈥檚 speed at the bottom of the slope.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The velocity of an object down the slope isvf=2L(渭kg-gsin胃)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

A smooth slope of height hand length L

The coefficient of kinetic friction is渭k

02

Step 2. Find the speed of object

We need to determine the speed of an object at the bottom of the slope, it was at rest the top and started from here

From the diagram below,

Using Newton's second law, resolving all forces acting along xaxis, we get

F鈫�net=f鈫�k-F鈫�Gsin胃

where 胃=tan-1hL;fk鈬赌=渭kmg;FG鈬赌=mg;F鈬赌net=ma

鈬�ma=渭kmg-mgsin胃a=渭kg-gsin胃

with this acceleration, the object will slide downwards hence to find speed we use the equation of motion,

vf2=vi2+2asvf2=02+2(渭kg-gsin胃)脳Lvf=2L(渭kg-gsin胃)

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鈥檒l 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鈥檝e 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.

A6.5cmdiameter ball has a terminal speed of26m/s. What is the ball鈥檚 mass?

A baggage handler drops your 10kg suitcase onto a conveyor belt running at2.0 m/s. The materials are such that 渭s=0.50 and . How far is your suitcase dragged before it is riding smoothly on the belt?

A ball is shot from a compressed-air gun at twice its terminal speed.

a. What is the ball's initial acceleration, as a multiple of g, if it is shot straight up?

b. What is the ball's initial acceleration, as a multiple of g, if it is shot straight down?

Suppose you push a hockey puck of mass m across frictionless ice for 1.0 s, starting from rest, giving the puck speed v after traveling distance d. If you repeat the experiment with a puck of mass 2m, pushing with the same force, a. How long will you have to push for the puck to reach the same speed v?

b. How long will you have to push for the puck to travel the same distance d?
