In Fig. 7-32, a constant force Faof magnitude 82.0Nis applied to a 3.00kgshoe box at angleϕ=50.0, causing the box to move up a frictionless ramp at constant speed. How much work is done on the box by Fawhen the box has moved through vertical distance h=0.150m?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Work done on the box by applied force is 4.41J.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  1. The applied force is,Fa=82.0N.
  2. Mass of boxis, m=3.0kg.
  3. Vertical height, h=0.150m.
02

Understanding the concept

By using the concept ofchange in kinetic as well as potential energy, we can find the work done during each step.

Formula:

Potential energy,ΔPE=mgΔh

03

Calculate the work done on the box

There is no change in kinetic energy as the velocity isthesame. So, the work done is only due to a change in potential energy that is work done by the force of gravity.And it is given by,

W=ΔPE=mgΔh

HereΔh is the change in height, which is 0.150m-0=0.150m.

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

W=3kg9.8m/s20.150mW=4.41·1kg·m/s2·m×1J1kg·m2/s2W=4.41J

Thus, work done on the box by applied force is4.41J .

A 3.0 kg body is at rest on a frictionless horizontal air track when a constant horizontal force Facting in the positive direction of an x axis along the track is applied to the body. A stroboscopic graph of the position of the body as it slides to the right is shown in Fig. 7-25. The force Fis applied to the body at t=0, and the graph records the position of the body at 0.50 s intervals. How much work is done on the body by the applied force Fbetween t=0 and t=2.0 s ?

A 1.5 kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface when a horizontal force along an x axis is applied to the block. The force is given by F(x)=(2.5-x2)i^N , where x is in meters and the initial position of the block is x=0. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the block as it passes through x=2.0 m? (b) What is the maximum kinetic energy of the block between x=0 and x=2.0 m?

Boxes are transported from one location to another in a warehouse by means of a conveyor belt that moves with a constant speed of 0.50 m/s. At a certain location the conveyor belt moves for 2.0 m up an incline that makes an angle of 10°with the horizontal, then for 2.0 m horizontally, and finally for 2.0 m down an incline that makes an angle of 10°ith the horizontal. Assume that a 2.0 kg box rides on the belt without slipping. At what rate is the force of the conveyor belt doing work on the box as the box moves (a) up the 10°incline, (b) horizontally, and (c) down the 10°incline?

In three situations, a single force acts on a moving particle. Here are the velocities (at that instant) and the forces: (1) v=(-4i)m/s,f=(6i-20)N:(2) v=(-3i+j)m/s,f=(2i+6j)N(3) v=(-3i+j)m/s,f=(2i+6j)N. Rank the situations according to the rate at which energy is being transferred, greatest transfer to the particle ranked first, greatest transfer from the particle ranked last.
