A balky cow is leaving the barn as you try harder and harder to push her back in. In coordinates with the origin at the barn door, the cow walks from x=0 to x=6.9 m as you apply a force with x-component Fx=-[20 N+(3 N/m)x]. How much work does the force you apply do on the cow during this displacement?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work done applied by the force on cow is 209.4 J

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

a) The x component of force is, Fx=-[20 N+(3 N/m)x]

b) The cow moves from x=0 to x=6.9 m

02

Concept/Significance of work done

If on the application of force on an object, it gets displaced from its initial position, the work is said to be done.

03

Determination of the work applied by force on cow.

The work done by force on cow is given by,

W=∫x1x2Fxdx

Substitute all the values in the above,

W=∫06.9m20N+3N/mxdx=-20Nx06.9m-3.0N/m126.9m2=-138N.m-71.4N=-209.4J

Thus, the work done applied by the force on cow is 209.4J

An astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter.

Her partner measures the following velocity changes, each taking place in a 10-sinterval.

What are the magnitude, the algebraic sign, and the direction of the average acceleration in each interval?

Assume that the positive direction is to the right.

(a) At the beginning of the interval, the astronaut is moving toward the right along the x-axis at 15.0m/s, and at the end of the interval she is moving toward the right at5.0m/s .

(b) At the beginning she is moving toward the left atrole="math" localid="1655276110547" 5.0m/s , and at the end she is moving toward the left at 15.0m/s.

(c) At the beginning she is moving toward the right at , and at the end she is moving toward the left atrole="math" localid="1655276636193" 15.0m/s .

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?
