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 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?

A Tennis Serve. In the fastest measured tennis serve, the ball left the racquet at 73.14m/s. A served tennis ball is typically in contact with the racquet for30.0and starts from rest. Assume constant acceleration. (a) What was the ball’s acceleration during this serve? (b) How far did the ball travel during the serve?

On a training flight, a student pilot flies from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Clarinda, Iowa, next to St. Joseph, Missouri, and then to Manhattan, Kansas

(Fig. P1.66). The directions are shown relative to north: 0°is north, 90°is east, 180°is south, and 270°is west. Use the method of components to find (a) the distance she has to fly from Manhattan to get back to Lincoln, and (b) the direction (relative to north) she must fly to get there. Illustrate your solutions with a vector diagram.

A car travels in the +x-direction on a straight and level road. For the first 4.00 s of its motion, the average velocity of the car is Vav-x=6.25m/s. How far does the car travel in 4.00 s?

A Fast Pitch. The fastest measured pitched baseball left the pitcher’s hand at a speed of 45.0m/s. If the pitcher was in contact with the ball over a distance of1.50mand produced constant acceleration, (a) what acceleration did he give the ball, and (b) how much time did it take him to pitch it?
