An object has several forces acting on it. One of these forces is F⇶Ä=α³æ²âi^, a force in the x-direction whose magnitude depends on the position of the object, with α=2.50N/m2. Calculate the work done on the object by this force for the following displacements of the object: (a) The object starts at the point(x=0,y=3.00m) and moves parallel to the x-axis to the point role="math" localid="1668072687742" (x=2.00,y=3.00m). (b) The object starts at the point(x=2.00,y=0) and moves in the y-direction to the point, (x=2.00,y=3.00m). (c) The object starts at the origin and moves on the liney=1.5x to the point (x=2.00,y=3.00m).

  3. The work done is 10J.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the given data

The force acting in the x-direction is F⇶Ä=α³æ²âi^.

The value of α=2.50N/m2.

The object starts at the pointx,y=0,3 and the object reaches the point 2,3.

02

Concept/Significance of Work done

The expression of work done is given by,

W=Fs³¦´Ç²õθ.....................(1)

03

Determine the work done on the object by force when the object starts at the point (x=0, y=3.00 m) and moves parallel to the x-axis to the point (x=2.00, y=3.00 m)

(a)

The work done can be calculated as follows.

W=∫x1x2F⇶Ädx=∫02α³æ²âdx=2.50N/m23m∫02xdx=2.50N/m23mx2202

Simplify further,

W=2.50N/m23m2-0=15.0J

Therefore, the required work done is 15.0 J.

04

Determine the work done on the object by force when the object starts at the point ( x=2, y=0 m ) and moves parallel to the x-axis to the point ( x=2.00, y=3.00m )

(b)

The object is moving in the perpendicular direction, so θ=90∘.

The work done can be calculated as follows,

W=Fs³¦´Ç²õθ=Fscos90∘=0J

Therefore, the required work done is 0J.

05

Determine the work done on the object by force when the object starts at the point ( x=0, y=0 m ) and moves along y=1.5x to the point ( x=2.00, y=3.00 m )

(c)

The work done can be calculated as follows.

W=∫x1x2F⇶Ädx=∫02α³æ²âdx=2.50N/m2∫021.5xxdx=2.50N/m21.5x3302

Simplify further.

W=2.50N/m21.583-0=10.0J

Therefore, the required work done is 10.0 J.

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient’s artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15×104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient’s blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient’s artery is blocked by the plaque?

You decide to visit Santa Claus at the north pole to put in a good word about your splendid behavior throughout the year. While there, you notice that the elf Sneezy, when hanging from a rope, produces a tension of 395.0 Nin the rope. If Sneezy hangs from a similar rope while delivering presents at the earth’s equator, what will the tension in it be? (Recall that the earth is rotating about an axis through its north and south poles.) Consult Appendix F and start with a free-body diagram of Sneezy at the equator.

If C→=A→+B→ ,what must be true about the directions and magnitudes of A→ and B→ifC=A+B ? What must be true about the directions and magnitudes of role="math" localid="1647990633202" A→andB→ ifC=0 ?
