How does work done on an object affect its kinetic energy

Physics
1 answer:
Alexus [3.1K]3 years ago
5 0

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on an object by a net force equals the change in kinetic energy of the object. Essentially kinetic energy is the energy used for motion. Interestingly, as work is done on an object, potential energy can be stored in that object. A moving object has kinetic energy because work has been done on it. When work is done energy in one form is transferred to the kinetic energy of the moving object. To stop the object again, the same amount of work would have to be done to bring it back to rest.

A person walks in the following pattern: 3.1 km north, then 2.4 km west, and finally 5.2 km south. a) Sketch the vector diagram
zysi [14]

Answer:

d = 3.19 km

direction is given as

\theta = 41.2 degree South of West

Explanation:

Part b)

displacement is given as

d_1 = 3.1 \hat j

d_2 = 2.4 \hat i

d_3 = 5.2(-\hat j)

now we will have

d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3

d = 2.4 \hat i + (3.1 - 5.2)\hat j

d = 2.4 \hat i - 2.1 \hat j

total displacement is given as

d = \sqrt{2.4^2 + 2.1^2}

d = 3.19 km

direction is given as

tan\theta = \frac{-2.1}{2.4}

\theta = 41.2 degree South of West

Consider a particle moving along the x-axis where x(t) is the position of the particle at time t, x' (t) is its velocity, and x'
nignag [31]

The position of the particle is given by:

x(t) = t³ - 12t² + 21t - 9

Differentiate x(t) with respect to t to find the velocity x'(t):

x'(t) = 3t² - 24t + 21

Differentiate x'(t) with respect to t to find the acceleration x''(t):

x''(t) = 6t - 24

Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km

Explanation:

We can consider the next diagram

B2------15km/h------->Dock

|

|

B1 at 20km/h

|

|

V

So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.

Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.
