Chapter 9: 9.Q. 4 (page 227)

A horizontal rope with 15 N tension drags a 25 kg box 2.0 m to the left across a horizontal surface. How much work is done by
(a) tension and (b) gravity?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) 30 J

b) 0 J

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : given information

A horizontal rope with 15 N tension drags a 25 kg box 2.0 m to the left across a horizontal surface

02

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation

We know Work done by tension= Force x displacement in the direction of force

In this case work done by tension = Tension x displacement

Wt= 15 x 2 = 30 J

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

A horizontal rope with 15 N tension drags a 25 kg box 2.0 m to the left across a horizontal surface

04

Part(b)Step 2:  Explanation

We know Work done = Force x displacement in the direction of force

Work done by gravity = gravitational force x vertical displacement

Wgravity = 0, as the vertical displacement is 0.

A 150 g particle at x=0 is moving at 2.00 m/s in the +x-direction. As it moves, it experiences a force given by Fx=(0.250N)sin(x/2.00m). What is the particle鈥檚 speed when it reaches x=3.14 m?

The force acting on a particle is Fx=F0e-x/L . How much work does this force do as the particle moves along the x-axis from x=0 to x=L?

A particle moves in a vertical plane along the closed path seen in FIGURE Q9.7, starting at A
