A 12-pack of Omni-Cola (mass 4.30 kg) is initially at rest on a horizontal floor. It is then pushed in a straight line for by a trained dog that exerts a horizontal force with magnitude 36.0 N. Use the work–energy theorem to find the final speed of the 12-pack if

(a) there is no friction between the 12-pack and the floor, and

(b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 12-pack and the floor is 0.30.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The final velocity of the pack without friction is 4.48 m/s.

b) The final velocity of the pack when friction is present is 3.61 m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The number of colas is, N = 12.
  • The force on the cola is, F = 36 N.
  • The distance travelled by dog is, s = 1.20 m.
02

Concept/Significance of frictional force

The frictional force is defined as the force operating in the opposite direction between two surfaces. It is not a force of conservatism.

03

Determination of the final speed of the 12-pack if (a) there is no friction between the 12-pack and the floor

The free body diagram of the system is given by,

The work done without frictional force is given by,

Wtot=F→.s→=Fscosϕ

Here, F is the force on the cord, and s is the displacement.

The total work done on the system is given by,

Wtot=K2-K1=12mv22

On comparing two equations, the final velocity of the pack is given by,

Fs=12mv22v2=2Fsm

Substitute all the values in the above,

" width="9" height="19" role="math">v2=Fsm=2×36N1.20m4.30kg=20.09m/s2=4.48m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the pack without friction is 4.48 m/s.

04

(b) Determination of the final speed of the 12-pack if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 12-pack and the floor is 0.30

The work done on the pack when the kinetic friction is acting on the system is given by,

Wtot=Fs-fks=Fs-μkmgs

Also, the total work done is given by,

Wtot=12mv22-12mv12=12mv22-0

Comparing both the equations, the velocity of the pack when friction is applied is given by,

role="math" localid="1664892476366" Fs-μkmgs=12mv22v22=2(Fs-μkmgs)mv2=2(Fs-μ_kmgs)m

Here, F is the force acting on the pack,μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction, and m is the mass of the pack.

Substitute all the values in the above,

v2=2Fs-μkmgsm=236N×1.2m-0.30kg9.8m/s21.2m4.3kg=13.03m/s=3.61m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the pack when friction is present is 3.61 m/s.

Comparing Example 12.1 (Section 12.1) and Example 12.2 (Section 12.2), it seems that 700 N of air is exerting a downward force of on the floor. How is this possible?

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?

You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0 mabove the ground (Fig. P2.70). Your physics professor, who is1.80 mtall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor’s head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall.

In Wagner’s opera Das Rheingold,the goddess Freia is ransomed for a pile of gold just tall enough and wide enough to hide her from sight. Estimate the monetary value of this pile. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3, and take its value to be about $10 per gram.

Your uncle is in the below-deck galley of his boat while you are spear fishing in the water nearby. An errant spear makes a small hole in the boat’s hull, and water starts to leak into the galley. (a) If the hole is 0.09 m below the water surface and has area 1.20 cm2, how long does it take 10.0 L of water to leak into the boat? (b) Do you need to take into consideration the fact that the boat sinks lower into the water as water leaks in?
