RESPONSE --> conserves energy conserves it, if you roll ball up hill, it rolls back down. nonconservative does not conservite it, if you roll ball up hill it wont roll back. confidence assessment: 2

......!!!!!!!!...................................
11:42:36 ** A conservative force conserves energy--you can get your energy back. For example: Push something up a hill, climb back down the hill and turn your back and it will probably return your energy to you--all at once--after regaining it as it rolls back down. So you do work against gravity, and gravity can return the energy as it pulls the thing back to you. However, there is some friction involved--you do extra work against friction, which doesn't come back to you. And some of the energy returned by gravity also gets lost to friction as the object rolls back down the hill. This energy isn't conserved--it's nonconservative. **

11:46:36 If a system does work W1 against a nonconservative force while conservative forces do work W2 on the system, what are the change in the KE and PE of the system? Explain your reasoning from a commonsense point of view, and include a simple example involving a rubber band, a weight, an incline and friction.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 'dKe is work done on system work is done on system by fore 'dpe by system against conservative forces d pe = -w2, pe decreases and increase ke confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
11:51:03 ** `dKE is equal to the NET work done ON the system. The KE of a system changes by an amount equal to the net work done on a system. If work W1 is done BY the system against a nonconservative force then work -W1 is done ON the system by that force. `dPE is the work done BY the system AGAINST conservative forces, and so is the negative of the work done ON the system BY nonconservative forces. In this case then `dPE = - W2. PE decreases, thereby tending to increase KE. If work -W1 is done ON the system by a nonconservative force and W2 is done ON the system by a conservative force, the NET work done ON the system is -W1 + W2. The KE of the system therefore changes by `dKE = -W1 + W2. If the nonconservative force is friction and the conservative force is gravity, then since the system must do positive work against friction, W1 must be positive and hence the -W1 contribution to `dKE tends to decrease the KE. e.g., if the system does 50 J of work against friction, then there is 50 J less KE increase than if there was no friction. If the work done by the nonconservative force on the system is positive, e.g., gravity acting on an object which is falling downward (force and displacement in the same direction implies positive work), the tendency will be to increase the KE of the system and W2 would be positive. If W2 is 150 J and W1 is 50 J, this means that gravity tends to increase the KE by 150 J but friction dissipates 50 J of that energy, so the change in KE will be only 100 J. If the object was rising, displacement and gravitational force would be in opposite directions, and the work done by gravity would be negative. In this case W2 might be, say, -150 J. Then `dKE would be -150 J - 50 J = -200 J. The object would lose 200 J of KE (which would only be possible if it had at least 200 J of KE to lose--think of an object with considerable velocity sliding up a hill). **

11:54:53 If the KE of an object changes by `dKE while the total nonconservative force does work W on the object, by how much does the PE of the object change?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 'd ke + 'd pe - w = 0 'dpe = -dke + w confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
11:56:29 ** We have `dKE + `dPE + `dWbyNoncons = 0: The total of KE change of the system, PE change of the system and work done by the system against nonconservative forces is zero. Regarding the object at the system, if W is the work done ON the object by nonconservative forces then work -W is done BY the object against nonconservative forces, and therefore `dWnoncons = -W. We therefore have `dKE + `dPE - W = 0 so that `dPE = -`dKE + W. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................
12:05:42 ** For example if I lift an object weighing 50 N and in the process the total nonconservative force (my force and friction) does +300 J of work on the object while its KE changes by +200 J then the 300 J of work done by my force and friction is used to increase the KE by 200 J, leaving 100 J to be accounted for. This 100 J goes into the PE of the object. **

12:10:39 Class notes #10. Why does it make sense that the work done by gravity on a set of identical hanging washers should be proportional to the product of the number of washers and the distance through which they fall? Why is this consistent with the idea that the work done on a given cart on an incline is proportional to the vertical distance through which the cart is raised?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> the force exerted by gravity will be equivalent for ech clip, so that the force of gravity on the clips will be equal to the number of clips. confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
12:17:43 ** The force exerted by gravity is the same on each clip, so the total gravitational force on the hanging clips is proportional to the number of clips. The work done is the product of the force and the displacement in the direction of the force, so the work done is proportional to product of the number of washers and the vertical displacement. To pull the cart up a slope at constant velocity the number of washers required is proportional to the slope (for small slopes), and the vertical distance through which the cart is raised by a given distance of descent is proportional to the slope, to the work done is proportional to the vertical distance thru which the cart is raised. **

12:19:16 How does the work done against friction of the cart-incline-pulley-washer system compare with the work done by gravity on the washers and the work done to raise the cart? Which is greatest? What is the relationship among the three?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Force applied by gravity on the weights will move the system up the incline. Force applied by gravity on cart will have a component perpendicular to the incline and a component down the incline. for the cart to move with uniform velocity up incline the net force must be 0. The force applied through gravity in the positive direction must be equivalent and opposing the sum of the other forces. gravity's force on the weights is greater the opposing forces. force applied through friction will be less than that applied through gravity on the washers, and since these forces act through the same distance the work done against friction is less than the work done by gravity on washers. confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
12:23:20 ** The force exerted by gravity on the hanging weights tends to move the system up the incline. The force exerted by gravity on the cart has a component perpendicular to the incline and a component down the incline, and the force exerted by friction is opposed to the motion of the system. In order for the cart to move with constant velocity up the incline the net force must be zero (constant velocity implies zero accel implies zero net force) so the force exerted by gravity in the positive direction must be equal and opposite to the sum of the other two forces. So the force exerted by gravity on the hanging weights is greater than either of the opposing forces. So the force exerted by friction is less than that exerted by gravity on the washers, and since these forces act through the same distance the work done against friction is less than the work done by gravity on the washers. The work done against gravity to raise the cart is also less than the work done by gravity on the washers. The work friction + work against gravity to raise cart = work by gravity on the hanging weights. **

12:36:17 prin phy and gen phy prob 34: Car rolls off edge of cliff; how long to reach 85 km/hr?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 85 km / hr * 1000 m / km * 1 hr / 3600 sec = 23.6 m/s confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
12:40:47 We know that the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2, and this is the rate at which the velocity of the car changes. The units of 85 km/hr are not compatible with the units m/s^2, so we convert this velocity to m/s, obtaining 85 km/hr ( 1000 m/km) ( 1 hr / 3600 sec) = 23.6 m/s. Common sense tells us that with velocity changing at 9.8 m/s every second, it will take between 2 and 3 seconds to reach 23.6 m/s. More precisely, the car's initial vertical velocity is zero, so using the downward direction as positive, its change in velocity is `dv = 23.6 m/s. Its acceleration is a = `dv / `dt, so `dt = `dv / a = 23.6 m/s / (9.8 m/s^2) = 2.4 sec, approx..

11:43:26 **** prin phy and gen phy problem 2.52 car 0-50 m/s in 50 s by graph How far did the car travel while in 4 th gear and how did you get the result?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> car's velocity is v0= 36.5 m/s vf= 45 m/s, @ 16 s and 27.5 s. Its average velocity on that interval will therefore be vAve = (36.5 m/s + 45 m/s) / 2 = 40.75 m/s 'dt = (27.5s - 16s) = 11.5 s. 'ds = avg vel * 'dt = 40.75 m/s * 11.5 s = 468.63 m. 'dt, and we have 'dv = 45 m/s - 36.5 m/s = 8.5 m/s. The acceleration is therefore a = 'dv / 'dt = (8.5 m/s) / (11.5 s) = .77 m/s^2 confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
11:46:47 ** In 4th gear the car's velocity goes from about 36.5 m/s to 45 m/s, between clock times 16 s and 27.5 s. Its average velocity on that interval will therefore be vAve = (36.5 m/s + 45 m/s) / 2 = 40.75 m/s and the time interval is 'dt = (27.5s - 16s) = 11.5 s. We therefore have 'ds = vAve * `dt = 40.75 m/s * 11.5 s = 468.63 m. The area under the curve is the distance traveled, since vAve is represented by the average height of the graph and `dt by its width. It follows that the area is vAve*'dt, which is the displacement `ds. The slope of the graph is the acceleration of the car. This is because slope is rise/run, in this case that is 'dv/'dt, which is the ave rate of change of velocity or acceleration. We already know `dt, and we have `dv = 45 m/s - 36.5 m/s = 8.5 m/s. The acceleration is therefore a = `dv / `dt = (8.5 m/s) / (11.5 s) = .77 m/s^2, approx. **

.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
12:52:59 ** The graph is of velocity vs. clock time, so the rise will be change in velocity and the run will be change in clock time. So the slope = rise/run represents change in vel / change in clock time, which is acceleration. **

12:59:07 ** The area under the curve is the distance traveled. This is so because 'ds = vAve*'dt. 'dt is equal to the width of the section under the curve and vAve is equal to the average height of the curve. The area of a trapezoid is width times average height.

1:09:20 univ phy problem 2.90 from 10th edition (University Physics students should solve this problem now). Superman stands on the top of a skyscraper 180 m high. A student with a stopwatch, determined to test the acceleration of gravity for himself, steps off the top of the building but Superman can't start after him for 5 seconds. If Superman then propels himself downward with some init vel v0 and after that falls freely, what is the minimum value of v0 so that he catches the student before that person strikes the ground?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 'ds = v0 `dt + .5 a `dt ^ 2, v0 = 0 a = -9.8 m/s^2. 'ds = -180 m 'ds = .5 a 'dt^2 'dt = squareroot of (2 * 'ds / a) = squareroot of (2 * -180 m / (-9.8 m/s^2) = 6 s 'ds, 'dt and a we find v0 by solving `ds = v0 `dt + .5 a `dt^2 for v0, obtaining v0 = ('ds - .5 a `dt^2) / 'dt = (-180 m - .5 * -9.8 m/s ^ 2 * (1 s)^2 ) / (1 sec) = -175 m/s confidence assessment: 2

1:11:25 univ phy what is Superman's initial velocity, and what does the graph look like (be specific)?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> `ds = v0 `dt + .5 a `dt ^ 2, where v0 = 0 and, choosing the downward direction to be positive, we have a = -9.8 m/s^2. If `ds = -180 m then we have `ds = .5 a `dt^2 and `dt = sqrt(2 * `ds / a) = sqrt(2 * -180 m / (-9.8 m/s^2)) = 6 sec, approx.. Superman starts 5 seconds later, and has 1 second to reach the person. Superman must therefore accelerate at -9.8 m/s^2 thru `ds = -180 m in 1 second, starting at velocity v0. Given `ds, `dt and a we find v0 by solving `ds = v0 `dt + .5 a `dt^2 for v0, obtaining v0 = (`ds - .5 a `dt^2) / `dt = (-180 m - .5 * -9.8 m/s^2 * (1 sec)^2 ) / (1 sec) = -175 m/s, approx. confidence assessment: 2

If `ds = -180 m then we have `ds = .5 a `dt^2 and `dt = sqrt(2 * `ds / a) = sqrt(2 * -180 m / (-9.8 m/s^2)) = 6 sec, approx.. Superman starts 5 seconds later, and has 1 second to reach the person.

A graph of x vs. t will be a parabola with vertex at (0,180), intercepting the t axis at about t = 6 sec. For Superman the time of fall will be `dt = t - 5 sec and his position will be x = x0 + v0 (t-5sec) + .5 a (t-5sec)^2, another parabola with an unspecified vertex. A graph of altitude vs. t shows the student's position as a parabola with vertex (0, 180), concave downward to intercept the t axis at (6,0). Superman's graph starts at (5,180) and forms a nearly straight line, intercepting the t axis also at (6,0).

13:49:04 `q001. Note that there are 4 problems in this set. Two 3 kg masses are suspended over a pulley and a 1 kg mass is added to the mass on one side. Friction exerts a force equal to 2% of the total weight of the system. If the system is given an initial velocity of 5 m/s in the direction of the lighter side, how long will a take the system to come to rest and how far will it travel?

13:58:20 We know the initial velocity of the system and, for the period until it comes to rest, we know that its final velocity will be 0 m/s. If we can find the acceleration, we will have three of the five necessary variables with which to analyze the motion and we can therefore determine the time interval `dt and displacement `ds corresponding to this period. We begin by analyzing the forces acting on the system. Before we do so we declare the positive direction of motion for this system to be the direction in which the system moves as the greater of the two hanging masses descends, i.e., the direction of the net force on the system Gravity exerts forces of 4 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 39.2 Newtons on the 4 kg mass and 3 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 29.4 Newtons on the 3 kg mass. Taking the positive direction to be the direction in which the system moves when the 4 kg mass descends, as stated earlier, then these forces would be +39.2 Newtons and -29.4 Newtons. The total mass of the system is 7 kg, so its total weight is 7 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 68.4 Newtons and the frictional force is therefore frictional force = .02 * 68.4 Newtons = 1.4 Newtons, approx.. If the system is moving in the negative direction, then the frictional force is opposed to this direction and therefore positive so the net force on the system is +39.2 Newtons - 29.4 Newtons + 1.4 Newtons = +11.2 Newtons. This results in an acceleration of +11.2 N / (7 kg) = 1.6 m/s^2. We now see that v0 = -5 m/s, vf = 0 and a = 1.6 m/s^2. From this we can easily reason out the desired conclusions. The change in velocity is +5 m/s and the average velocity is -2.5 m/s. At the rate of 1.6 m/s^2, the time interval to change the velocity by +5 m/s is `dt = +5 m/s / (1.6 m/s^2) = 3.1 sec, approx.. At an average velocity of -2.5 m/s, in 3.1 sec the system will be displaced `ds = -2.5 m/s * 3.1 s = -7.8 meters. These conclusions could also have been reached using equations: since vf = v0 + a `dt, `dt - (vf - v0) / a = (0 m/s - (-5 m/s) ) / (1.6 m/s^2) = 3.1 sec (appxox). Since `ds = .5 (v0 + vf) * `dt, `ds = .5 (-5 m/s + 0 m/s) * 3.1 s = -7.8 meters.

14:04:03 Since the acceleration of the system is different if it is moving in the positive direction than when it is moving in the negative direction, if we have both positive and negative velocities this problem must the separated into two parts. As seen in the previous example, in the first 3.2 seconds the system displaces -7.8 meters. This leaves 6.8 seconds after that instant during which the system may accelerate from rest in the positive direction. We therefore analyze the motion from the instant the system comes to rest until the remaining .8 seconds has elapsed. The frictional force during this time will be negative, as it must oppose the direction of motion. The net force on the system will therefore be + 39.2 Newtons -29.4 Newtons - 1.4 Newtons = 8.4 Newtons, and the acceleration will be 8.4 Newtons / (7 kg) = 1.2 m/s^2, approx.. The initial velocity during this phase is 0, the time interval is 6.8 sec and the acceleration is 1.2 m/s^2. We therefore conclude that the velocity will change by 1.2 m/s^2 * 6.8 sec = 8.2 m/s, approx, ending up at 8.2 m/s since this phase started at 0 m/s. This gives an average velocity of 4.1 m/s; during 6.8 sec the object therefore displaces `ds = 4.1 m/s * 6.8 sec = 28 meters approx.. These results could have also been easily obtained from equations. For the entire 10 seconds, the displacements were -7.8 meters and +28 meters, for a net displacement of approximately +20 meters. That is, the system is at this instant about 20 meters in the direction of the 4 kg mass from its initial position.

14:07:40 `q003. An automobile has a mass of 1400 kg, and as it rolls the force exerted by friction is .01 times the 'normal' force between its tires and the road. The automobile starts down a 5% incline (i.e., an incline with slope .05) at 5 m/s. How fast will it be moving when it reaches the bottom of the incline, which is 100 meters away (neglect air friction and other forces which are not part of the problem statement)?

14:10:26 We are given the initial velocity and displacement of the automobile, so we need only find the acceleration and we can analyzes problem as a standard uniform acceleration problem. The automobile experiences a net force equal to the component of its weight which is parallel to the incline plus the force of friction. If we regard the direction down the incline as positive, the parallel component of the weight will be positive and the frictional force, which must be in the direction opposite that of the velocity, will be negative. The weight of the automobile is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 13720 Newtons, so the component of the weight parallel to the incline is parallel weight component = 13720 Newtons * .05 = 686 Newtons. The normal force between the road and the tires is very nearly equal to the weight of the car because of the small slope, so the magnitude of the frictional force is approximately frictional force = 13720 Newtons * .01 = 137 Newtons, approx.. The frictional force is therefore -137 Newtons and the net force on the automobile is Fnet = 686 Newtons - 137 Newtons = 550 Newtons (approx.). It follows that the acceleration of the automobile must be a = Fnet / m = 550 Newtons / 1400 kg = .4 m/s^2 (approx.). We now have a uniform acceleration problem with initial velocity v0 = 5 meters/second, displacement `ds = 100 meters and acceleration a = .4 m/s^2. We can easily find the final velocity using the equation vf^2 = v0^2 + 2 a `ds, which gives us vf = +- `sqrt(v0^2 + 2 a `ds) = +- `sqrt( (5 m/s)^2 + 2 * .4 m/s^2 * 100 m) = +- `sqrt( 25 m^2 / s^2 + 80 m^2 / s^2) = +-`sqrt(105 m^2 / s^2) = +- 10.2 m/s. It is obvious that the final velocity in this problem is the positive solution +10.2 m/s, since the initial velocity and acceleration are both positive.

14:14:03 `q004. If the automobile in the previous example started at the bottom of the incline with velocity up the incline of 11.2 m/s, how far up the hill would it be able to coast?

14:15:55 We again have a uniform acceleration situation where the initial velocity is known and we have the information to determine the acceleration. The other quantity we can deduce is the final velocity, which at the furthest point up the hill will be zero. Since the automobile is coasting up the incline, we will take the upward direction as positive. The frictional force will still be 137 Newtons and will again be directed opposite the velocity, so will therefore be negative. The parallel component of the weight will be the same as before, 686 Newtons, but being directed down the incline will be in the direction opposite to that if the velocity and will therefore also be negative. The net force on the automobile therefore be net force = -686 Newtons - 137 Newtons = -820 Newtons (approx.). Its acceleration will be a = Fnet / m = -820 Newtons / 1400 kg = -.6 m/s^2 (approx.). We see now that v0 = 11.2 m/s, vf = 0 and a = -.6 m/s^2. Either by direct reasoning or by using an equation we easily find that `dt = (-11.2 m/s) / (-.6 m/s^2) = 19 sec (approx) and `ds = (11.2 m/s + 0 m/s) / 2 * 19 sec = 5.6 m/s * 19 sec = 106 meters (approx).
