You push your physics book 1.5 m along a horizontal table-top with a horizontal push of 2.40 N while the opposing force of friction is 0.600 N. How much work does each of the following forces do on the book: (a) your 2.40 N- push, (b) the friction force, (c) txhe normal force from the tabletop, and (d) gravity (e) What is the net work done on the book.

Short Answer

(a)Wpush=3.6J(b)Wf=-0.9J(c)WN=0J(d)Wg=0J(e)Wnet=2.7J

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as-

  • The distance covered by a book along a horizontal tabletop is, s = 1.5 m
  • Applied horizontal push is, F = 2.4 N
  • The frictional force, Ff=0.6N
02

Significance of the work done

Work done on a particle by a constant forceduring a linear displacementis given by

W=F→.s→=¹ó³¦´Ç²õÏ• …â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦..(1)

If F and s are in the same direction then Ï•=0and if it is in opposite direction then

ϕ=180°.

03

Determination of work done by various forces on the book

(a)

Work done on the book by F = 2.4 N push can be expressed by equation (1) such that,

W=¹ó²õ³¦´Ç²õÏ•

Since F and s both are in the same direction, Ï•=0

Therefore, W = F s cos0

Here, F is applied horizontal push and s is the distance covered by book.

ForF=2.4N,s=1.5mWpush=Fscos0=2.4N×1.5m×1=3.6J

(b)

Work done on the book by the frictional force Ff=0.6Nwill be

Wf=Fs³¦´Ç²õÏ•

Since F and s both are in opposite directions, ϕ=180°

Therefore,

Wf=Fscos180°=-Fs

Here,F is the frictional force and s is the distance covered by the book

role="math" localid="1663748170934" ForF=0.6N,s=1.5mW=Fscos180°=0.6N×1.5m×-1=0.9J

(c)

Work done on the book by the normal force from the tabletop

role="math" localid="1663748300554" WN=Fscos180°=0

(d)

Work done on the book by the gravity will be

Wg=Fscos90°

= 0

Since F and s are perpendicular to each other.

Wg=Fscos-90°=0

(e)

Net work done on the book is equal to the sum of the individual work

Wnet=Wpush+Wf+WN+Wg=3.6J-0.9J+0J+0J=2.7J

Thus, the work done by various forces on the book isWpush=3.6J,Wf=-0.9J,WN=0J,Wnet=2.7J

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?

A cylindrical bucket, open at the top, is 25.0 cm high and 10.0 cm in diameter. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area 1.50 cm2 is cut in the center of the bottom of the bucket. Water flows into the bucket from a tube above it at the rate of 2.40 x 10-4m3/s. How high will the water in the bucket rise?

The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3 . What is this value in kilograms per cubic meter?

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury’s orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury’s precession has been explained by general relativity.)

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird’s average velocity in (a) for the return flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?
