0 N applied to the sled at an angle of 30° to the horizontal.
(a) Find the work done by the applied force.
(b) Find the energy dissipated by friction.
(c) Find the change in the kinetic energy of the sled.
(d) Find the speed of the sled after it has traveled 3 m.

(a) 69.3 J

The work done by the applied force is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where:

F = 25.0 N is the magnitude of the applied force

d = 3.20 m is the displacement of the sled

\theta=30^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the sled

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

W=(25.0 N)(3.20 m)(cos 30^{\circ})=69.3 J

(b) 0

The problem says that the surface is frictionless: this means that no friction is acting on the sled, therefore the energy dissipated by friction must be zero.

(c) 69.3 J

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by the applied force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the sled:

\Delta K = W

where

\Delta K is the change in kinetic energy

W is the work done

Since we already calculated W in part (a):

W = 69.3 J

We therefore know that the change in kinetic energy of the sled is equal to this value:

\Delta K=69.3 J

(d) 4.9 m/s

The change in kinetic energy of the sled can be rewritten as:

\Delta K=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 (1)

where

Kf is the final kinetic energy

Ki is the initial kinetic energy

m = 5.50 kg is the mass of the sled

u = 0 is the initial speed of the sled

v = ? is the final speed of the sled

We can calculate the variation of kinetic energy of the sled, \Delta K, after it has travelled for d=3 m. Using the work-energy theorem again, we find

\Delta K= W = Fd cos \theta =(25.0 N)(3.0 m)(cos 30^{\circ})=65.0 J

And substituting into (1) and re-arrangin the equation, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(65.0 J)}{5.50 kg}}=4.9 m/s

You are getting bored as you are stuck at home, and want to find out the effective 'spring constant' of random objects. You find
Luda [366]

Given Information:  

Mass of sock = 0.23 kg

Stretched length of sock = x = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m

Required Information:  

Spring constant = k = ?

Answer:  

Spring constant = k = 88.82 N/m

Explanation:  

We know from the Hook's law that

F = kx

Where k is spring constant, F is the applied force and x is length of sock being stretched.

k = F/x

Where F is given by

F = mg

F = 0.23*9.81

F = 2.256 N

So the spring constant is

k = 2.256/0.0254

k = 88.82 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the sock is 88.82 N/m

Two identical cylinders at the same pressure contain the same gas. if cylinder a contains three times as much gas as cylinder b,
Alborosie

By ideal gas theory, cylinder b has the higher temperature.

We need to know about the ideal gas theory to solve this problem. The ideal gas can be represented by

P . V = n . R . T

where P is the pressure, V is volume, n is the number of molecules, R is the ideal gas constant and T is temperature.

From the question above, we know that

Pa = Pb = P

na = 3nb

Find the temperature of the cylinder a

P . V = n . R . Ta

Ta = P . V /( na . R )

Substitute na

Ta = P . V /( (3nb) . R )

Ta = (1/3) x (P . V /( (nb . R ))

Find the temperature of the cylinder b

P . V = n . R . Tb

Tb = P . V /( nb . R )

The cylinder a temperature is 3 times smaller than the temperature in cylinder b.
