A block of mass mis at rest at the origin at t=0. It is pushed with constant force F0from x=0to x=Lacross a horizontal surface whose coefficient of kinetic friction is k=0(1x/L). That is, the coefficient of friction decreases from 0at x=0to zero at x=L.

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

ar=vrdvxdx

b. Find an expression for the block's speed as it reaches position L.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) It is proved that ax=vxdvxdx.

Part (b) The speed at x=Lis vL={2[FLmgl02]}1/2..

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given.

k=0(1xL)Atx=0,v=0.

02

Part (a): Step 2: Explanation of solution.

The acceleration axis given by,

ax=d2xdt2=ddt(dxdt)=ddx(dxdt)dxdt

Now, substitute dxdt=vxin the above expression.

ax=ddx(vx)vx=vxdvxdx

It is proved that ax=vxdvxdx.

03

Part (b) Step 3: Given.

The frictional co-efficient of friction between the surface isk=0(1xL).

04

Part (b) Step 4: Calculation.

Weight of the block isw=mg,gis the acceleration due to gravity. Hence, the normal force on the block isn=w=mg. So, the frictional force is fk=kn=0(1xL)mg. The applied force on the block is F.

Hence, the total force on the block isf=F0(1xL)mg.

So, acceleration is given byax=fm=Fm0(1xL)g.

Use equation (1) to write

vxdvx=axdx

Now substitute the value of ax

vxdvx=Fm0(1xL)gdx

Integrate the above equation.

v0vLvxdvx=0LFm0(1xL)gdx[vx22]v0vL=[Fxm0(xx22L)g]0L

Now, put the value v0=0, in the above equation to get:vL22=[FLmgL02].

Hence, the speed is vL={2[FLmgL02]}1/2.

05

Conclusion.

Part (a): It is proved that ax=vxdvxdx.

Part (b): The speed atX=LisvL=2FLmgl021/2.
