FIGUREEX10.24is the potential-energy diagram for a 20g particle that is released from rest at x=1.0m.

a. Will the particle move to the right or to the left?

b. What is the particle’s maximum speed? At what position does it have this speed?

c. Where are the turning points of the motion?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The particle is likely to go to the right.

(b) Maximum speed = 17.32m/s, occur at a point x=4m.

(c) The moment where final potential energy equals starting potential energy is the motion's turning point. The turning points are clearly visible in the graph arex=1mandx=6m.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Particle : 

A tiny, isolated item to which physical or chemical qualities, such as volume, density, or mass, may be assigned.

02

(a) Explanation : 

Particle's mass m=20gm=0.02kg

Formula to determine the kinetic energy of a particle,

KE=12mv2

KE= kinetic energy,

m= particle's mass,

v= particle's velocity.

Consider the graph of potential energy against distance,

Since the particle has been released from its rest at x=1m, it will go in a path where its potential energy reduces, as shown in the diagram. Potential energy drops in the right direction of the graph. As a result, the particle will go in the correct direction.

03

(b) Speed : 

It is the change in an object's location with regard to time.

04

(b) Explanation : 

The highest speed will occur near the bottom of the curve, when the potential energy difference is greatest. The bottom of the graph appears at x=4min the graph above.

The difference in potential energy at localid="1647864003221" x=1mandx=4mis 3Jmay be seen in the graph above. The potential energy differential is transformed to kinetic energy according to the rule of energy conservation. Hence,

localid="1647864043650" ∆PE=∆KE=3J

Maximum velocity of the particle can be calculated by,

∆KE=12mv2

Substituting the values,

3=12×0.02×v2v=17.32m/s

Hence, particle's maximum velocity is 17.32m/s.

05

(c) Potential energy : 

The energy held in an item as a result of its location relative to a zero point is known as potential energy.

06

(c) Explanation :

The graph's turning points are the points in motion when the end potential energy equals the starting potential energy is equal at x=1mandx=6m, which is the case in the preceding graph. As a result, the motion's turning point arex=1mandx=6m.

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

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a10-m-high hill, then descends 15m to the track’s lowest point. You’ve determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum of 2.0m and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 400kg. For safety reasons, the spring constant should be 10% larger than the minimum needed for the car to just make it over the top.

a. What spring constant should you specify?

b. What is the maximum speed of a350kg car if the spring is compressed the full amount?
