Given Solution: `aJane is going to convert her KE to gravitational PE. We assume that nonconservative forces are negligible, so that `dKE + `dPE = 0 and `dPE = -`dKE. Jane's KE is .5 M v^2, where M is her mass. Assuming she swings on the vine until she comes to rest at her maximum height, the change in her KE is therefore `dKE = KEf - KE0 = 0 - .5 M v0^2 = - .5 M v0^2, where v0 is her initial velocity. Her change in gravitational PE is M g `dy, where `dy is the change in her vertical position. So we have `dKE = - `dPE, or -5 M v0^2 = - ( M g `dy), which we solve for `dy (multiply both sides by -1, divide both sides by M g) to obtain `dy = v0^2 / (2 g) = (5.3 m/s)^2 / (2 * 9.8 m/s^2) = 1.43 m. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Self-critique Assessment ********************************************* Question: `qprin phy and gen phy 6.39: 950 N/m spring compressed .150 m, released with .30 kg ball. Upward speed, max altitude of ball YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Assume gravitational PE of the system = 0 at the point where the spring is compressed. We have to consider changes in elastic and gravitational PE, and in KE. PE stored in the spring will = .5 k x^2 = .5 ( 950 N/m ) ( .150 m)^2 = 107 J. When released, conservation of energy we have `dPE + `dKE = 0, therefore `dKE = -`dPE. Because the ball is moving in the vertical direction, between the release equilibrium position of the spring, the ball t has a change in gravitational and elastic PE. Change in elastic PE = -107 J Change in gravitational PE = m g `dy = .30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * .150 m = +4.4 J. Net change in PE : -107 J + 4.4 J = -103 J. Thus between release and the equilibrium position of the spring, `dPE = -103 J KE change of the ball = `dKE = - `dPE = - (-103 J) = +103 J. Ball gains in the form of KE the 103 J of PE lost by the system. Initial KE of the ball = 0 Final KE = 103 J. So we have: .5 m vv^2 = KEf where: vf=sqrt(2 KEf / m) = sqrt(2 * 103 J / .30 kg) = 26 m/s. To find max altitude the ball rises, we think in terms of the compressed spring. It has 107 J of elastic PE. Between release from rest and max altitude, there is no `dv and thus no change in KE. No nonconservative forces, so that: `dPE + `dKE = 0, with `dKE = 0. Showing us that `dPE = 0 and no change in PE. Initial PE = 107 J Final PE must also =107 J Although, there is a change in the form that PE is in. It is converted from elastic to gravitational PE. So at max altitude the gravitational PE has to be 107 J. Because we know that PEgrav = m g y, and because the compressed position of the spring was said to be at 0 point of gravitational PE, we have: y = PEgrav / (m g) = 107 J / (.30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2) = 36.3 m So the ball rises to an altitude of 36.3 m above the compressed position of the spring.

Given Solution: `aWe will assume here that the gravitational PE of the system is zero at the point where the spring is compressed. In this situation we must consider changes in both elastic and gravitational PE, and in KE. The PE stored in the spring will be .5 k x^2 = .5 ( 950 N/m ) ( .150 m)^2 = 107 J. When released, conservation of energy (with only elastic and gravitational forces acting there are no nonconservative forces at work here) we have `dPE + `dKE = 0, so that `dKE = -`dPE. Since the ball is moving in the vertical direction, between the release of the spring and the return of the spring to its equilibrium position, the ball t has a change in gravitational PE as well as elastic PE. The change in elastic PE is -107 J, and the change in gravitational PE is m g `dy = .30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * .150 m = +4.4 J. The net change in PE is therefore -107 J + 4.4 J = -103 J. Thus between release and the equilibrium position of the spring, `dPE = -103 J The KE change of the ball must therefore be `dKE = - `dPE = - (-103 J) = +103 J. The ball gains in the form of KE the 103 J of PE lost by the system. The initial KE of the ball is 0, so its final KE is 103 J. We therefore have .5 m vv^2 = KEf so that vf=sqrt(2 KEf / m) = sqrt(2 * 103 J / .30 kg) = 26 m/s. To find the max altitude to which the ball rises, we return to the state of the compressed spring, with its 107 J of elastic PE. Between release from rest and max altitude, which also occurs when the ball is at rest, there is no change in velocity and so no change in KE. No nonconservative forces act, so we have `dPE + `dKE = 0, with `dKE = 0. This means that `dPE = 0. There is no change in PE. The initial PE is 107 J and the final PE must also therefore be 107 J. There is, however, a change in the form of the PE. It converts from elastic PE to gravitational PE. Therefore at maximum altitude the gravitational PE must be 107 J. Since PEgrav = m g y, and since the compressed position of the spring was taken to be the 0 point of gravitational PE, we therefore have y = PEgrav / (m g) = 107 J / (.30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2) = 36.3 meters. The ball will rise to an altitude of 36.3 meters above the compressed position of the spring. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Self-critique Assessment ********************************************* Question: `qgen phy problem A high jumper needs to be moving fast enough at the jump to lift her center of mass 2.1 m and cross the bar at a speed of .7 m/s. What minimum velocity does she require? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: `dPE + `dKE = 0. `dPE = M * g * `dy = M * 20.6 m^2 / sec^2 (M = mass of the jumper and `dy = 2.1 m change in altitude.) `dKE = .5 M vf^2 - .5 M v0^2 (vf = .7 m/s final velocity and v0 is unknown). This gives us: M g `dy + .5 M vf^2 - .5 M v0^2 = 0. Next Divide by M: g `dy + .5 vf^2 - .5 v0^2 = 0. Solve for v0: v0 = sqrt( 2 g `dy + vf^2) = sqrt( 2* 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.1 m + (.7 m/s)^2 ) = sqrt( 41.2 m^2/s^2 + .49 m^2 / s^2) = sqrt( 41.7 m^2 / s^2) = approx 6.5 m/s Confidence Assessment: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aFORMAL SOLUTION: Formally we have `dPE + `dKE = 0. `dPE = M * g * `dy = M * 20.6 m^2 / sec^2, where M is the mass of the jumper and `dy is the 2.1 m change in altitude. `dKE = .5 M vf^2 - .5 M v0^2, where vf is the .7 m/s final velocity and v0 is the unknown initial velocity. So we have M g `dy + .5 M vf^2 - .5 M v0^2 = 0. Dividing through by M we have g `dy + .5 vf^2 - .5 v0^2 = 0. Solving for v0 we obtain v0 = sqrt( 2 g `dy + vf^2) = sqrt( 2* 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.1 m + (.7 m/s)^2 ) = sqrt( 41.2 m^2/s^2 + .49 m^2 / s^2) = sqrt( 41.7 m^2 / s^2) = 6.5 m/s, approx.. LESS FORMAL, MORE INTUITIVE, EQUIVALENT SOLUTION: The high jumper must have enough KE at the beginning to increase his PE through the 2.1 m height and to still have the KE of his .7 m/s speed. The PE change is M * g * 2.1 m = M * 20.6 m^2 / sec^2, where M is the mass of the jumper The KE at the top is .5 M v^2 = .5 M (.7 m/s)^2 = M * .245 m^2 / s^2, where M is the mass of the jumper. Since the 20.6 M m^2 / s^2 increase in PE must come at the expense of the initial KE, and since after the PE increase there is still M * .245 m^2 / s^2 in KE, the initial KE must have been 20.6 M m^2 / s^2 + .245 M m^s / s^2 =20.8 M m^s / s^2, approx. If initial KE is 20.8 M m^s / s^2, then .5 M v0^2 = 20.8 M m^s / s^2. We divide both sices of this equation by the jumper's mass M to get .5 v0^2 = 20.8 m^2 / s^2, so that v0^2 = 41.6 m^2 / s^2 and v0 = `sqrt(41.6 m^2 / s^2) = 6.5 m/s, appprox. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Self-critique Assessment ********************************************* Question: `qquery Univ. 7.42 (7.38 in 10th edition). 2 kg block, 400 N/m spring, .220 m compression. Along surface then up 37 deg incline all frictionless. How fast on level, how far up incline? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Confidence Assessment: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `a** The spring exerts a force of 400 N / m * .220 m = 84 N at the .220 m compression. The average force exerted by the spring between equilibrium and this point is therefore (0 N + 84 N) / 2 = 42 N, so the work done in the compression is `dW = Fave * `ds = 42 N * .220 m = 9.2 Joules, approx. If all this energy is transferred to the block, starting from rest, the block's KE will therefore be 5.0 Joules. Solving KE = .5 m v^2 for v we obtain v = sqrt(2 KE / m) = sqrt(2 * 9.2 Joules / (2 kg) ) = 3.1 m/s, approx.. No energy is lost to friction so the block will maintain this speed along the level surface. As it begins to climb the incline it will gain gravitational PE at the expense of KE until the PE is 9.2 J and the KE is zero, at which point it will begin to slide back down the incline. After traveling through displacement `ds along the incline the height of the mass will be `ds sin(37 deg) = .6 `ds, approx., and its gravitational PE will be PE = m g h = m g * .6 `ds = .6 m g `ds. Setting this expression equal to KE we obtain the equation .6 m g `ds = KE, which we solve for `ds to obtain `ds = KE / (.6 m g) = 9.2 Joules / (.6 * 2 kg * 9.8 m/s^2) = .78 meters, approx. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Self-critique Assessment ********************************************* Question: `qquery univ phy 7.50 62 kg skier, from rest, 65 m high. Frict does -10.5 kJ. What is the skier's speed at the bottom of the slope? After moving horizontally over 82 m patch, air res 160 N, coeff frict .2, how fast is she going? Penetrating 2.5 m into the snowdrift, to a stop, what is the ave force exerted on her by the snowdrift? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Confidence Assessment: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `a** The gravitational PE of the skier decreases by 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 65 m = 38 kJ, approx. (this means 38 kiloJoules, or 38,000 Joules). The PE loss partially dissipated against friction, with the rest converted to KE, resulting in KE = 38 kJ / 10.5 kJ = 27.5 kJ. Formally we have `dKE + `dPE + `dWnoncons = 0, where `dWnoncons is the work done by the skier against friction. Since friction does -10.5 kJ of work on the skier, the skier does 10.5 kJ of work against friction and we have `dKE = -`dPE - `dWnoncons = - (-38 kJ) - 10.5 kJ = 27.5 kJ. The speed of the skier at this point will be v = sqrt( 2 KE / m) = sqrt( 2 * 27,500 J / (65 kg) ) = 30 m/s, approx. Over the 82 m patch the force exerted against friction will be .2 * 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 118 N, approx., so the force exerted against nonconservative forces will be 118 N + 160 N = 280 N approx.. The work done will therefore be `dWnoncons = 280 N * 82 m = 23 kJ, approx., and the skier's KE will be KE = 27.5 kJ - 23 kJ = 4.5 kJ, approx. This implies a speed of v = sqrt( 2 KE / m) = 12 m/s, approx. To stop from this speed in 2.5 m requires that the remaining 4.5 kJ of KE be dissipated in the 2.5 m distance. Thus we have `dW = Fave * `ds, so that Fave = `dW / `ds = 4500 J / (2.5 m) = 1800 N. This is a significant force, about 3 times the weight of the skier, but distributed over a large area of her body will cause a good jolt, but will not be likely to cause injury.** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Self-critique Assessment "
