An object has several forces acting on it. One of these forces is F→=αxyi^, a force in the x-direction whose magnitude depends on the position of the object, with α=2.50N/m2. Calculate the work done on the object by this force for the following displacements of the object: (a) The object starts at the point (x = 2.00, y = 3.00 m) and moves parallel to the x-axis to the point (x = 0, y = 3.00 m). (b) The object starts at the point and moves in the y-direction to the point, (x = 2.00, y = 3.00 m) . (c) The object starts at the origin and moves on the line to the point (x = 2.00, y = 3.00 m) .

Step by step solution

01

Identify the given data

The force acting in the x-direction is F→=αxyi^.

The value of α=2.50N/m2.

The object starts at the point (x,y ) = (0,3)and the object reaches the point (2,3).

02

Concept/Significance of Work done

The expression of work done is given by,

W=Fscosθ…â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦(1)

03

Determine the work done on the object by force when the object starts at the point (x=0,y=3.00 m) and moves parallel to the x-axis to the point (x=2.00,y=3.00 m)(a)

The work done can be calculated as follows.

W=∫x1x2 F→dx=∫02 (αxy)dx=2.50N/m2(3m)∫02 xdx=2.50N/m2(3m)x2202

Simplify further,

W=2.50N/m23m2-0=15.0J

Therefore, the required work done is 15.0 J.

04

Determine the work done on the object by force when the object starts at the point (x = 2, y = 0 m) and moves parallel to the x-axis to the point (x = 2.00, y = 3.00 m) (b)

The object is moving in the perpendicular direction, so θ=90o.

The work done can be calculated as follows,

W=Fscosθ=Fscos90∘=0J

Therefore, the required work done is 0 J.

05

Determine the work done on the object by force when the object starts at the point (x = 0, y = 0 m)   and moves along to the point (x = 2.00, y = 3.00 m)  (c)

The work done can be calculated as follows.

W=∫x1x2 F→dx=∫02 (αxy)dx=2.50N/m2∫02 (1.5x)xdx=2.50N/m2(1.5)x3302

Simplify further.

W=2.50N/m21.583-0=10.0J

Therefore, the required work done is 10.0 J.

Question- Neptunium. In the fall of 2002, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a nuclear chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm3. What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass?

A cargo ship travels from the Atlantic Ocean (salt water) to Lake Ontario (freshwater) via the St. Lawrence River. The ship rides several centimeters lower in the water in Lake Ontario than it did in the ocean. Explain

Given two vectorsA→=−2.00i^+3.00j^+4.00k^andB→=3.00i^+1.00j^−3.00k^, (a) find the magnitude of each vector; (b) use unit vectors to write an expression for the vector differenceA→−B→; and (c) find the magnitude of the vector differenceA→−B→. Is this the same as the magnitude ofB→−A→? Explain.

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

A particle of mass 3m is located 1.00 mfrom a particle of mass m.

(a) Where should you put a third mass M so that the net gravitational force on M due to the two masses is precisely zero?

(b) Is the equilibrium of M at this point stable or unstable (i) for points along the line connecting m and 3m, and (ii) for points along the line passing through M and perpendicular to the line connecting m and 3m?
