Recitation-4: Work, Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy

This document contains multiple physics problems involving work, kinetic energy, potential energy and conservation of energy. Problem 7 involves calculating the work done by various forces on a trunk pushed up an incline. Problem 8 calculates the work done on a block pushed up an incline with changing kinetic friction. Problem 9 involves calculating speeds and accelerations for a roller coaster moving in a vertical loop. Problem 10 calculates the speed and spring compression of a block sliding down a track and hitting a spring. Problem 11 calculates the speed and acceleration of a particle attached to two springs when released after being pulled a distance.

RECITATION-4

Work, Kinetic Energy,Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy


7) A 50 kg trunk is pushed 6 m at constant speed up a 30o incline by a
constant horizontal force (F). The coefficient of kinetic friction
between the trunk and the incline is 0.2. What is the work done by;

a) The applied horizontal force

b) The force of friction

c) The force of gravity

d The normal force exerted by the incline

e) Determine the total work done on the trunk.


v= constant , a=0
8) A block of mass m is pushed at constant speed up an θ0 incline by a
constant horizontal force (F), from point O to point A through I= IOAI,
as shown in Figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block
and the incline is changed with

a) Determine the work done by net force through IOAI

b) Draw a free-body diagram for the block and determine F(x) force in
terms of m, g, θ and x.

c) What is the work done by F(x) through IOAI in terms of m, g, θ and .


(v=constant , a=0)

Using Eqns. (2) and (1);


9) A roller-coaster car is released from rest at the
top of the first rise and then moves freely with
negligible friction. The roller coaster shown in
Figure has a circular loop of radius R in a vertical
plane.
a) Find the required height of the incline in terms
of R in order to avoid from dropping the car
from the point B.
b) If h=(7/2)R and R=20 m, find the speed,
centripetal acceleration and tangential
acceleration of the car at point C.

At point B

If , the roller-coaster will pass point B


without falling.

At point C
10) A 15.0-kg block is released from point A with an initial speed 10.0 m/s as shown in Figure. The
track is frictionless except for the portion between points B and spring , which has a length of
100.0 m. The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2 N/m. The
coefficient of static friction and kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.8 and
0.2, respectively.
a) Find the speed of the block when it reaches the point B?
b) Determine the compression of the spring due to the block.
c) After stopped by spring, Whether the block moves again or not?

Wall

There is no friction between points A and B

The work done by all non-conservative forces is equal


to the systems total mechanical energy change.
In order to move again, the force exerted by the spring on the block must be greater than the static
friction force.

The block can not move.

11) A particle is attached between two identical springs on a


horizontal frictionless table. Both springs have spring
constant k and are initially unstressed. If the particle is
pulled a distance x=3 m along a direction perpendicular
to the initial configuration of the springs, as in Figure;
a) What is its speed when it comes back the equilibrium
point x=0?
b) Find its acceleration at the instant that it is released
from point A (k= 40 N/m, m=8 kg and L=4m).
When the mass moves distance x, the length of each spring changes from L to
so each exerts force towards its fixed end. The y-components
cancel out.
