This problem gives some idea of the magnitude of the energy yield of a small tactical bomb. Assume that half the energy of a 1.00kT nuclear depth charge set off under an aircraft carrier goes into lifting it out of the water—that is, into gravitational potential energy. How high is the carrier lifted if its mass is 90,000 tons?
Two stones, one with twice the mass of the other, are thrown straight up and rise to the same height h. Compare their changes in gravitational potential energy (choose one): (a) They rise to the same height, so the stone with twice the mass has twice the change in gravitational potential energy. (b) They rise to the same height, so they have the same change in gravitational potential energy. (c) The answer depends on their speeds at height h.
Two people observe a leaf falling from a tree. One person is standing on a ladder and the other is on the ground. If each person were to compare the energy of the leaf observed, would each person find the following to be the same or different for the leaf, from the point where it falls off the tree to when it hits the ground: (a) the kinetic energy of the leaf; (b) the change in gravitational potential energy; (c) the final gravitational potential energy?
Cite two examples in which a force is exerted on an object without doing any work on the object.
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?
A mouse of mass 200 g falls 100 m down a vertical mine shaft and lands at the bottom with a speed of 8.0 m/s. During its fall, how much work is done on the mouse by air resistance?
As a young man, Tarzan climbed up a vine to reach his tree house. As he got older, he decided to build and use a staircase instead. Since the work of the gravitational force mg is path Independent, what did the King of the Apes gain in using stairs?
(a) Sketch a graph of the potential energy function U(x)=kx2/2+Aex2 where k , A, and are constants. (b) What is the force corresponding to this potential energy? (c) Suppose a particle of mass in moving with this potential energy has a velocity v when its position is x = . Show that the particle does not pass 2+2 through the origin unless Amv2=k22(1e a 2 ) .
What average power is generated by a 70.0-kg mountain climber who climbs a summit of height 325 m in 95.0 min? (a) 39.1 W (b) 54.6 W (c) 25.5 W (d) 67.0 W (e) 88.4 W
A projectile of mass 2 kg is fired with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 30 with respect to the horizontal. (a) Calculate the initial total energy of the projectile given that the reference point of zero gravitational potential energy at the launch position. (b) Calculate the kinetic energy at the highest vertical position of the projectile. (c) Calculate the gravitational potential energy at the highest vertical position. (d) Calculate the maximum height that the projectile reaches. Compare this result by solving the same problem using your knowledge of projectile motion.
A particle of mass 2.0 kg moves under the influence of the force F(x)=(5x2=7x)N . Suppose a frictional force also acts on the particle. If the particle’s speed when it starts at x=4.0 m is 0.0 m/s and when it arrives at x=4.0 m is 9.0 m/s, how much work is done on it by the frictional force between x=4.0 m and x=4.0 m?
How much work is done by the boy pulling his sister 30.0 m in a wagon as shown in Figure 7.36? Assume no friction acts on the wagon. Figure 7.36 The boy does work on the system of the wagon and the child when he pulls them as shown.
