In an experiment, one of the forces exerted on a proton is F⃗ =−αx2i^, where α=12N/m2. What is the potential-energy function for

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The potential energy is $-4x^3$

Explanation:

Given that,

Force $F=-\alpha x^2 i$

We need to calculate the potential energy

Using formula of work done

$\Delta U=F(x) dx$

Put the value of F

$\Delta U=-\alpha x^2\ dx$

On integration

$U=-\alpha \dfrac{x^3}{3}+C$

$U=-\dfrac{\alpha x^3}{3}+C$ ...(I)

U = 0, x = 0 so C = 0

Put the value of c and α in equation (I)

$U=-\dfrac{12x^3}{3}+0$

$U=-4x^3$

Hence, The potential energy is $-4x^3$

A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 3.20 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

F = 768 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s

Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min, $\dfrac{dm}{dt}=240\ kg/min = 4\ kg/s$

We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}$

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}+v\dfrac{dm}{dt}$

Since, the speed is constant,

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$F=v\dfrac{dm}{dt}$

$F=3.2\times 240$

F = 768 N

So, the magnitude of force need to keep the car is 768 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 545-kg satellite is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height above Earth equal to Earth's mean radius. (a) Find the satelli

Art [367]

Answer

given,

mass of satellite = 545 Kg

R = 6.4 x 10⁶ m

H = 2 x 6.4 x 10⁶ m

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

height above earth is equal to earth's mean radius

a) satellite's orbital velocity

centripetal force acting on satellite = $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

gravitational force = $\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

equating both the above equation

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}}$

v = 5578.5 m/s

b) $T= \dfrac{2\pi\ r}{v}$

$T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}$

$T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}$

T = 14416.92 s

$T = \dfrac{14416.92}{3600}\ hr$

T = 4 hr

c) gravitational force acting

$F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

$F = \dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 545 \times 5.972 \times 10^{24} }{(6.46 \times 10^6)^2}$

F = 5202 N
