Chapter 9: 9.Q. 10 (page 227)

A sprinter accelerates from rest. Is the work done on the sprinter positive, negative, or zero? Explain

Short Answer

Expert verified

Work done on sprinter is negative

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A sprinter accelerates from rest.

02

Explanation

When sprinter accelerates, the work done on sprinters is due to normal reaction on sprinter.

As the sprinter takes off from ground, work done is calculated by the frictional force acting on when sprinter takes off foot from ground.

So ,the normal reaction on the sprinter is negative giving negative work done on the sprinter.

Two identical horizontal springs are attached to opposite sides of a box that sits on a frictionless table. The outer ends of the springs are clamped while the springs are at their equilibrium lengths. Then a 2.0N force applied to the box, parallel to the springs, compresses one spring by 3.0cm while stretching the other by the same amount. What is the spring constant of the springs?

A 10-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 2.0kg mass is hung from it, the spring stretches to a length of 15cm.

a. What is the spring constant?

b. How long is the spring when a 3.0 kg mass is suspended from it?

A spring has an unstretched length of 10 cm. It exerts a restoring force F when stretched to a length of 11 cm.

a. For what length of the spring is its restoring force 3F?

b. At what compressed length is the restoring force 2F

You need to raise a heavy block by pulling it with a massless rope. You can either (a) pull the block straight up height h, or (b) pull it up a long, frictionless plane inclined at a 15o angle until its height has increased by h. Assume you will move the block at constant speed either way. Will you do more work in case a or case b? Or is the work the same in both cases? Explain.

The two ropes seen in FIGURE are used to lower a 255 kg piano 5.00 m from a second-story window to the ground. How much work is done by each of the three forces?
