When lifting an object, the work done on the object is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy. Mathematically:
where
mg is the weight of the object
is the change in height
For the box in this problem,
mg = 185 N
Substituting into the equation, we find:
2) (a) 28875 J
The work done by a force applied parallel to the direction of motion of the object is given by
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the displacement
In this problem,
F = 825 N is the force applied by the two students together
d = 35 m is the displacement of the car
Substituting,
2) (b) 57750 J
As seen previously, the equation that gives the work done by the force is
We see that the work done is proportional to the magnitude of the force: therefore, if the force is doubled, then the work done is also doubled.
The work done previously was
W = 28875 J
Now the force is doubled, so the new work done will be
3) 4.4 J
In this case, the force acting on the ball is the force of gravity, whose magnitude is:
where
m = 0.180 kg is the mass of the ball
is the acceleration of gravity
Solving the equation,
Now we find the work done by gravity using the same formula applied before:
where d = 2.5 m is the displacement of the ball. We can apply this version of the formula since the force is parallel to the displacement. Substituting,
4) 595.2 kg
In this case, we have the work done on the box:
W = 7.0 kJ = 7000 J
And we also know the change in height of the box:
As we stated in part a), the work done on the box is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy:
Solving for m, we find
And substituting the numerical values, we find the mass of the box:
5) They do the same work
In fact, the net work done by each person on the box is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the box:
Where is the difference in height between the final position and the initial position of the box.
This means that the work done on the box depends only on its initial and final position, not on the path taken. The two men carry the box along different paths, however the reach at the end the same position, and they started from the same position: this means that the value of is the same for both of them, so the work they have done is exactly the same.
Answer:
<em>A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases. </em>
Explanation:
The complete question is
A merry-go-round spins freely when Diego moves quickly to the center along a radius of the merry-go-round. As he does this, It is true to say that
A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.
B) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed decreases.
C) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed remains the same.
D) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed increases.
E) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed decreases
In angular momentum conservation, the initial angular momentum of the system is conserved, and is equal to the final angular momentum of the system. The equation of this angular momentum conservation is given as
....1
where and
are the initial and final moment of inertia respectively.
and and
are the initial and final angular speed respectively.
Also, we know that the moment of inertia of a rotating body is given as
....2
where is the mass of the rotating body,
and is the radius of the rotating body from its center.
We can see from equation 2 that decreasing the radius of rotation of the body will decrease the moment of inertia of the body.
From equation 1, we see that in order for the angular momentum to be conserved, the decrease from to
will cause the angular speed of the system to increase from
to
.
From this we can clearly see that reducing the radius of rotation will decrease the moment of inertia, and increase the angular speed.
