A child applies a force F→parallel to the x-axis to a 10.0kg sled moving on the frozen surface of a small pond. As the child controls the speed of the sled, the x-component of the force she applies varies with the x-coordinate of the sled as shown in Fig. E6.36. Calculate the work done by F→when the sled moves

(a) from x=0to x=8.0m;

(b) fromx=8.0mto x=12.0m;

(c) fromx=0mto x=12.0m.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The work done by the force on the sled when it moves from x=0to x=8mis 40J.
  2. The work done by the force on the sled when it moves from x=8mto x=12mis 20 J .
  3. The work done by the force on the sled when it moves from x=0mto x=12mis 60 J.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The mass of the child is, m=10kg.
  • The maximum height of the triangle is, h=10m.
02

Concept/Significance of work done.

If a body really moves a certain distance in the direction of the applied force, such movement is considered to constitute work. The dot product of force time distance is known as work.

03

(a) Determination of the work done by F→ when the sled moves from x=0 to x=8.0 m

When x rises during the displacement, the work done is positive is given by,

W=12b×h

Here, b is the base of the triangle, and h is the height of the triangle.

Substitute all the values in the above from the graph,

W=128m10N=40N.m1J1N·m=40J

Thus, the work done by the force on the sled when it moves fromx=0 tox=8m is 40 J .

04

(b) Determination of the work done by F→ when the sled moves from x=0 m to x=12.0 m

When x rises during the displacement, the work done is positive is given by,

W=12b×h

Here, b is the base of the triangle, and h is the height of the triangle.

Substitute all the values in the above from the graph,

W=124m10N=20N·m1J1N·m=20J

Thus, the work done by the force on the sled when it moves fromx=8m tox=12m is 20 J.

05

(c) Determination of the work done by F→ when the sled moves from x=0 m to x=12.0 m

When x rises during the displacement, the work done is positive is given by,

W=12b×h

Here, b is the base of the triangle, and h is the height of the triangle.

Substitute all the values in the above from the graph,

W=1212m10N=60N·m1J1N·m=60J

Thus, the work done by the force on the sled when it moves from x=0mto x=12mis 60 J .

A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road such that its distance from the light is given byxt=bt2-ct3, whereb=2.40m/s2andc=0.120m/s3. (a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t = 0 to t = 10.0 s. (b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 0, t = 5.0 s, and t = 10.0 s. (c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?

A swimming pool is 5.0 m long, 4.0 m wide, and 3.0 m deep. Compute the force exerted by the water against (a) the bottom and (b) either end. (Hint: Calculate the force on a thin, horizontal strip at a depth h, and integrate this over the end of the pool.) Do not include the force due to air pressure.

A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of20m/s2, and the car has an acceleration of3.40m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved60.0m. (a) How much time does it take the car to overtake the truck? (b) How far was the car behind the truck initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are abreast? (d) On a single graph, sketch the position of each vehicle as a function of time. Takex=0at the initial location of the truck.

A typical adult human has a mass of about 70Kg. (a) What force does a full moon exert on such a human when directly overhead with its centre378000 km away? (b) Compare this force with the pressure exerted on the human by the earth.
