After the box comes to rest at position x1, a person starts pushing the box, giving it a speed v1. When the box reaches position

x2 (where x2>x1), how much work Wp has the person done on the box? Assume that the box reaches x2 after the person has accelerated it from rest to speed v1. Express the work in terms of m, v0, x1, x2, and v1.

Answer:

w_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1mv_0^2}{2x_1}(x_1-x_2)

Explanation:

First, the box goes from position x=0 to x=x1, so, the work made by the friction is calculated as:

-F_f(x_1) = \frac{1}{2}mV^2 -\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2

where F_f is the force of friction, x_1 the displacement, m the mass, V is the speed in rest and v_0 the initial speed.

V is equal to zero, so:

F_f(x_1)=\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2

it means that the force of friction F_f is equal to:

F_f = \frac{1mv_0^2}{2x_1}

On the other hand, when the box goes from position x=x1 to x=x2, the work-energy theorem said that:

-F_f(x_1-x_2)+w_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2-\frac{1}{2}mV^2

Where w_p is the work done by the person.

Then, solving for w_p:

-F_f(x_1-x_2)+w_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

w_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+F_f(x_1-x_2)

Finally, replacing F_f by \frac{1mv_0^2}{2x_1}, we get:

w_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1mv_0^2}{2x_1}(x_1-x_2)

1. Consider three objects: Object A is a hoop of mass m and radius r; Object B is a sphere
Zarrin [17]

a) Object C (the disk) has the greatest rotational inertia (\frac{3}{2}mr^2)

b) Object B (the sphere) has the smallest rotational inertia (\frac{4}{5}mr^2)

Explanation:

The moments of inertia of the three objects are the following:

1) For a hoop of negligible thickness, it is

I=MR^2

where M is its mass and R its radius. For the hoop in this problem,

M = m

R = r

Therefore, its moment of inertia is

I=(m)(r)^2=mr^2

2) For a solid sphere, the moment of inertia is

I=\frac{2}{5}MR^2

where M is its mass and R its radius. For the sphere in this problem,

M = 2m

R = r

Therefore, its moment of inertia is

I=\frac{2}{5}(2m)(r)^2=\frac{4}{5}mr^2

3) For a disk of negligible thickness, the moment of inertia is

I=\frac{1}{2}MR^2

where M is its mass and R its radius. For the disk in this problem,

M = 3m

R = r

Therefore, its moment of inertia is

I=\frac{1}{2}(3m)(r)^2=\frac{3}{2}mr^2

So now we can answer the two questions:

a) Object C (the disk) has the greatest rotational inertia (\frac{3}{2}mr^2)

b) Object B (the sphere) has the smallest rotational inertia (\frac{4}{5}mr^2)

In terms of π, what is the length of an arc
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Since 2 pi = 360 deg and pi equals 180 deg, 30 deg = pi / 6.

S = theta * R = pi / 6 * 3 cm = 1.57 cm

An ideal monatomic gas at temperature T is held in a container. If the gas is compressed isothermally, that is at constant tempe
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) 0 J

b) W = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

c) ΔQ = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

d) ΔQ = W

Explanation:

a) To find the change in the internal energy you use the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-W

Q: heat transfer

W: work done by the gas

The gas is compressed isothermally, then, there is no change in the internal energy and you have

ΔU = 0 J

b) The work is done by the gas, not over the gas.

The work is given by the following formula:

\\W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})

n: moles

R: ideal gas constant

T: constant temperature

Vf: final volume

Vi: initial volume

Vf < Vi, then W < 0 and the work is done on the gas

c) The gas has been compressed. Thus, its temperature increases and heat has been transferred to the gas.

The amount of heat is equal to the work done W

d)

\Delta U = \Delta Q-W\\\\0=\Delta Q-W\\\\\Delta Q=W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})
