(a) 69.3 J
The work done by the applied force is given by:
where:
F = 25.0 N is the magnitude of the applied force
d = 3.20 m is the displacement of the sled
is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the sled
Substituting numbers into the formula, we find
(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:
where
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:
(d) 4.9 m/s
The change in kinetic energy of the sled can be rewritten as:
(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, , after it has travelled for d=3 m. Using the work-energy theorem again, we find
And substituting into (1) and re-arrangin the equation, we find
Answer:
- < 25 m/s
- triangle inequality
- between north and east
- 45° < angle < 60°
Explanation:
(a) Just as one-dimensional numbers add on a number line by putting them end-to-end, so two-dimensional numbers add on a coordinate plane the same way.
Here, we choose to let the positive y-axis represent North, and the positive x-axis, East. This is the way a map is conventionally oriented. The velocity of the plane is represented by a vector pointing north (up). Its length represents the magnitude of the velocity. Likewise, the wind is represented by a vector of length 15 pointing east (right). The sum of these is the hypotenuse of the triangle they form.
The magnitude of the sum can be found here using the Pythagorean theorem, but for the purpose of this question, you're not asked to find that.
Instead, you're asked to estimate whether it is more or less than 25 (m/s).
Your knowledge of the triangle inequality will tell you that the hypotenuse (resultant) must be shorter than the sum of the lengths of the sides of the triangle, hence must be less than 10+15 = 25.
__
(b) The triangle inequality says the resultant is less than the sum of the other two sides of the triangle.
__
(c) Since the wind is blowing the plane toward the east, but the plane is traveling toward the north, the resulting direction is somewhere between north and east.
__
(d) "Somewhere between north and east" can be expressed as the inequality ...
0° < angle < 90°
