Chapter 9: Q. 20 (page 228)

FIGURE is the force-versus-position graph for a particle moving along the $x -$ axis. Determine the work done on the particle during each of the three intervals $0 - 1$ m, $1 - 2$ m, and $2 - 3$ m.

Short Answer

Expert verified

$W_{0 - 1} = 4 J W_{1 - 2} = 0 J W_{2 - 3} = - 2 J$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information

We have,

Step 2. Find the work done

We can calculate area under F-x graph

$W_{0 - 1} = 4 J W_{1 - 2} = 4 N 4 \cdot 0.5 m - 4 N \cdot 0.5 m = 0 J W_{2 - 3} = - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 4 N \cdot 1 m = - 2 J$

The left end of a spring is attached to a wall. When Bob pulls on the right end with a 200 N force, he stretches the spring by 20 cm. The same spring is then used for a tug-of-war between Bob and Carlos. Each pulls on his end of the spring with a 200 N force.
How far does the spring stretch? Explain.

A 2.0 kg book is lying on a 0.75-m-high table. You pick it up and place it on a bookshelf 2.25 m above the floor.
a. How much work does gravity do on the book?
b. How much work does your hand do on the book?

If a particle’s speed increases by a factor of 3, by what factor does its kinetic energy change?

A $50 g$ rock is placed in a slingshot and the rubber band is stretched. The magnitude of the force of the rubber band on the rock is shown by the graph in FIGURE $P 9.55$ . The rubber band is stretched $30 c m$ and then released. What is the speed of the rock?
