8/06 7:00 pm" "Question: `q001. An object of mass 10 kg is subjected to a net force of 40 Newtons as it accelerates from rest through a distance of 20 meters. Find the final velocity of the object.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

v0 = 0 m/s, ds = 20 m, Fnet = 40 Newtons, m = 10 kg

a = 40 Newtons/ 10 kg

a = 4 m/s^2

vf = +/- sqrt(2 * 4 m/s^2 * 20 m)

vf = +/- sqrt(160 m^2/s^2)

vf = +/- 12.7 m/s

Question: `q002. Find the value of the quantity 1/2 m v^2 at the beginning of the 20 meter displacement, the value of the same quantity at the end of this displacement, and the change in the quantity 1/2 m v^2 for this displacement.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Initial value = ½(10 kg)(0 m/s)^2

Initial value = 0

Final value = 1/2 (10 kg)(12.7 m/s)^2

Final value = 806.45 kg m^2/s^2 = J

Question: `q005. Suppose that all the quantities given in the previous problem are the same except that the initial velocity is 9 meters / second. Again calculate the final velocity, the change in (1/2 m v^2) and Fnet * `ds.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

vf = +/- `sqrt( v0^2 + 2a ds)

+/- `sqrt( (9 m/s)^2 + 2 * 4 m/s^2 * 20 meters)

= +/-`sqrt( 81 m^2 / s^2 + 160 m^2 / s^2) =

= +/-`sqrt( 241 m^2 / s^2) =

= +/-15.5 m/s

½(10 kg)(9 m/s)^2

= 420 kg m^2/s^2= J

½(10 kg)(15.5 m/s)^2

= 1220 kg m^2/s^2 = J

1220 J - 420 J

= 800 J

Question: `q006. The quantity Fnet * `ds and the change in the quantity 1/2 m v^2 were the same in the preceding example. This might be just a coincidence of the numbers chosen, but if so we probably wouldn't be making is bigger deal about it.

In any case if the numbers were just chosen at random and we obtained this sort of equality, we would be tempted to conjecture that the quantities were indeed always equal.

Answer the following: How could we determine if this conjecture is correct?

Hint: Let Fnet, m and `ds stand for any net force, mass and displacement and let v0 stand for any initial velocity. In terms of these symbols obtain the expression for v0 and vf, then obtain the expression for the change in the quantity1/2 m v^2. See if the result is equal to Fnet * `ds.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

1/2mv^2 : ½ mvf^2 - ½ mv0^2

= ½ m(v0^2 +2 Fnet/m *ds) - ½ mv0^2

= ½ mv0^2 + 1/2 m* 2 Fnet/m * ds - ½ mv0^2

= ½ m * 2 Fnet/m *ds

= Fnet/ds

Question: `q007. We call the quantity 1/2 m v^2 the Kinetic Energy, often abbreviated KE, of the object.

We call the quantity Fnet * `ds the work done by the net force, often abbreviated here as `dWnet.

Show that for a net force of 12 Newtons and a mass of 48 kg, the work done by the net force in accelerating an object from rest through a displacement of 100 meters is equal to the change in the KE of the mass.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Fnet = 12 Newtons, mass = 48 kg, ds =100 m

a = 12 Newtons/48 kg

a = .35 m/s^2

vf = +/- sqrt(2(.25 m/s^2)(100 m))

vf = +/- sqrt(50 m^2/s^2)

vf = +/- 7.07 m/s = +/- 7.1 m/s

KEf = ½(48 kg)(7.1 m/s)^2

KEf = 1209.84 J

Question: `q009. Answer the following without using the equations of uniformly accelerated motion:

If the 200 kg object in the preceding problem is uniformly accelerated from 5 m/s to 10 m/s while traveling 50 meters, then what net force was acting on the object?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

ds = 50 m

dWnet /ds = Fnet * ds/ds

dWnet/ds = Fnet

7500 Newtons/50 m = Fnet

150 Newtons = Fnet

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

dWnet = 5000 Newtons * 80 m

Your solution:

Fnet = 400,000 J

KE0 = ½ mv0^2

KE0 = ½(2000 kg)(15 m/s)^2

KE0 = 225,000 J

KEf = KE0 + dKE

Question: `q012. Solve without using the equations of motion:

A force of 300 Newtons is applied in the direction of motion to a 20 kg block as it slides 30 meters across a floor, starting from rest, moving against a frictional force of 100 Newtons.

How much work is done by the net force, how much work is done by friction and how much work is done by the applied force?

What will be the final velocity of the block?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Fnet = 300 N - 100 N

Fnet = 200 N

dWnet = 200 N * 30 m

dWnet = 6000 J

dWapplied = 300 N * 30 m

dWapplied = 9000 J

dWfrict = -100 N * 30 m

dWfrict = -3000 J

9000 J - 3000 J

Question: `q014. A 1500 kg automobile is moving at 10 m/s.

If its kinetic energy increases by 100 000 Joules, how fast will it be moving?

Suppose the automobile accelerated uniformly as it gained the 100 000 Joules of kinetic energy, which it gained in 10 seconds. What can be determined from this information? Indicate all the answers you can to this question, and how these quantities can be determined.

(University Physics students): If the energy is added at a constant rate of 10 000 Joules / second, will the distance traveled by the automobile be the same as, greater than or less than the distance calculated previously. Consider the fact that a constant force will not add energy at a constant rate to an object whose velocity is changing.

Challenging question: If the distance is different how far will the automobile travel during that time?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

a. 100,000 J/15,000 kg*m/s

= 6.66 m/s

@&

Dividing the increase in KE by the momentum does not give the velocity.

*@

b.

c.15,000 kg*m/s/100,000 J

= .66 m

@&

... nor does dividing the momentum by the change in KE give us the displacement.
