A sled starts from rest at the top of the frictionless, hemispherical, snow-covered hill shown in FIGURE CP10.74.

a. Find an expression for the sled鈥檚 speed when it is at angle .

b. Use Newton鈥檚 laws to find the maximum speed the sled can have at angle without leaving the surface.

c. At what angle maxdoes the sled 鈥渇ly off鈥 the hill?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Expression for the sled's speed is found to be v1=2gR(1-cos).

(b) The maximum speed the sled can have at an angle isvmax=gRcos

(c) The angle at which the sled flies off the hill max=48.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (part a)

The following figure is given.

02

Explanation (part a)

Apply the conservation energy equation at the initial position of the sled and when the sled is at an angle . Consider the velocity of the sled when it is at an angle is v1. The initial velocityv0=0

K1+U1=K0+U012mv12+mgy1=12mv02+mgy0cos=y1Ry1=Rcosv0=012mv12+mgRcos=12m0+mgR12mv12+mgRcos=mgR12mv12=mgR-mgRcosv12=2(gR-gRcos)v1=2gR(1-cos)

03

Given information (part b)

The following figure is given.

04

Explanation (part b)

According to Newton's law, the net force on the sled is

Fnet=ma

The acceleration of the sled while moving on the hill

a=v2R

The force acting on the sled is normal force (n) and force due to gravity along the axis. Therefore the net force, role="math" localid="1649389914026" Fnet=mgcos-nma=mgcos-nSubstitute(1)inequation(2)mv2R=mgcos-nn=mgcos-mv2R

The normal force (n) decreases as v increases. If n=0 the sled leaves the hill. But n can't be negative, so the fastest speed at which the sled stays on the hill is the speed The maximum speedvmaxof the sled at which it stays on the hill is when n0.

Therefore the maximum speed of the sled is

localid="1649390700811" vmax=gRcos

05

Given information (part c)

The following figure is given.

06

Explanation (part c)

The speed of the sled at max=2gR(1-cosmax)(1)

The maximum speed of the sled at max=gRcos(2)

Equate the equation 1and 2

2gR(1-cosmax)=gRcosmaxSquaringonbothsides2gR(1-cosmax)=gRcosmax21-cosmax=cosmax2-2cosmax=cosmax2=cosmax+2cosmax2=3cosmaxcosmax=23max=cos-123max=48

The spring in FIGURE EX10.22a is compressed by 鈭唜. It launches the block across a frictionless surface with speed v0. The two springs in FIGURE EX10.22b are identical to the spring of Figure EX10.22a. They are compressed by the same 鈭唜 and used to launch the same block. What is the block鈥檚 speed now?

A spring is compressed 1.0cm. How far must you compress a spring with twice the spring constant to store the same amount of energy?

Protons and neutrons (together called nucleons) are held together in the nucleus of an atom by a force called the strong force. At very small separations, the strong force between two nucleons is larger than the repulsive electrical force between two protons鈥攈ence its name. But the strong force quickly weakens as the distance between the protons increases. A well-established model for the potential energy of two nucleons interacting via the strong force is

U=U01-e-x/x0

where x is the distance between the centers of the two nucleons, x0 is a constant having the value xo=2.010-15m, and Uo=6.010-11J.

Quantum effects are essential for a proper understanding of nucleons, but let us innocently consider two neutrons as if they were small, hard, electrically neutral spheres of mass 1.6710-27kgand diameter 1.010-15m. Suppose you hold two neutrons 5.010-15mapart, measured between their centers, then release them. What is the speed of each neutron as they crash together? Keep in mind that both neutrons are moving.

In Problems 66through 68you are given the equation used to solve a problem. For each of these, you are to

a. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation.

b. Draw the before-and-after pictorial representation.

c. Finish the solution of the problem.

12(0.50kg)vf2+(0.50kg)9.80m/s2(0m)+12(400N/m)(0m)2=12(0.50kg)(0m/s)2+(0.50kg)9.80m/s2(-0.10m)sin30+12(400N/m)(-0.10m)2

A clever engineer designs a 鈥渟prong鈥 that obey the force law Fx=-qx-xeq3,where xeq is the equilibrium position of the end of the sprong and q is the sprong constant. For simplicity, we鈥檒l let xeq=0m. Then Fx=-qx3.

a. What are the units of q?

b. Find an expression for the potential energy of a stretched or compressed sprong.

c. A sprong-loaded toy gun shoots a 20gplastic ball. What is the launch speed if the sprong constant is 40,000, with the units you found in part a, and the sprong is compressed 10cm? Assume the barrel is frictionless.
