Answer:
The work done by a particle from x = 0 to x = 2 m is 20 J.
Explanation:
A force on a particle depends on position constrained to move along the x-axis, is given by,
We need to find the work done on a particle that moves from x = 0.00 m to x = 2.00 m.
We know that the work done by a particle is given by the formula as follows :
So, the work done by a particle from x = 0 to x = 2 m is 20 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
5.4 ms⁻¹
Explanation:
Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.
= length of the meter stick = 1 m
= mass of the meter stick
= angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor
= speed of the other end of the stick
we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as
= height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor =
= Moment of inertia of the stick about one end
For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as
Using conservation of energy
Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy
Answer:
a) 52.915 m
b) The vertical velocity is approximately 21.092 m/s
The resultant velocity is approximately 26.5 m/s
Explanation:
a) The height of the window in the house from which the water was thrown = 15 m
The speed of the stream of water thrown = 20 m/s
The angle at which the water was thrown = 37° over the horizontal
The acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²
a) The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall is given as follows;
y = y₀ + u·t·sin(θ) + 1/2·g·t²
Where;
y = The vertical height reached
u = The initial velocity
t = Time of flight
From the point the steam of water is thrown, we get;
y₀ = 15 m
Therefore;
y = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 1/2 × 10 × t²
y = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 5 × t²
When y = 0, Ground level, we get
0 = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 5 × t²
5·t² - 20×sin(37°)×t -15 = 0
∴ t = (20 ×sin(37°) ± √((-20 × ·sin(37°))² - 4 × (5) × (-15)))/(2 × 5)
t ≈ 3.3128302, or t ≈ 0.906
Therefore, the time of flight of the water, t ≈ 3.3128302 seconds
The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall = The horizontal distance travelled by the water, x
x = u·cos(θ)×t
∴ x = 20 × cos(37°) × 3.3128302 ≈ 52.915
The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall = x ≈ 52.915 m
b) The velocity at which the water will reach the ground, 'v', is given as follows;
The vertical velocity, = u·sin(θ)·t - g·t
At the ground, t ≈ 3.3128302 seconds
∴ = 20 × sin(37) - 10 × 3.3128302 ≈ -21.092
The vertical velocity at which the water will reach the ground, ≈ 21.092 m/s (downwards)
The resultant velocity, v = √(² + vₓ²)
∴ v = √(21.092² + (0 × cos(37°))²) ≈ 26.5
The resultant velocity at which the water will reach the ground, v ≈ 26.5 m/s.
