If it takes total work W to give an object a speed v and kinetic energy K, starting from rest, what will be the object’s speed (in terms of v) and kinetic energy (in terms of K) if we do twice as much work on it, again starting from rest?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of the object and kinetic energy are2v and 2K after twice the work.

Step by step solution

01

Describe the Work-Energy theorem

The work energy theorem tells that the work done on the body results in a change in its kinetic energy.

Wtotal=K2-K1=∆K

02

Determine the object’s speed and kinetic energy

From the Work-Energy theorem,

W=KEf-KEI=12mvf2-12mvi2

The initial velocity of the object is zero. So, vi=0.

Substitute 0 for vi, and vforvf in the above equation.

W=12mv2        ......(1)

Substitute 0 for vi, androle="math" localid="1663744649225" v1 forvf in the above equation.

W1=12mv12

Here, the work done by the charged particle is doubled.

2W=12mv12212mv2=12mv122v2=v12v1=2v2=2v

Therefore, the speed of the object after twice the work is 2v.

The initial kinetic energy is given by,

K=12mv2

The final kinetic energy is given by,

K'=12mv12=12m2v2=mv2=2K

Therefore, the kinetic energy is doubled or 2K.

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.

A plastic ball has radius 12.0 cm and floats in water with 24.0% of its volume submerged. (a) What force must you apply to the ball to hold it at rest totally below the surface of the water? (b) If you let go of the ball, what is its acceleration the instant you release it?

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli’s equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.

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?

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.
