Giancoli 6th Edition Problem Solutions Chapter #6 ü Problem #3 QUESTION: A 1300 Nt crate rests on the floor. How much work is required to move it at constant speed (a) 4.0 m along the floor against a friction force of 230 Nt, and (b) 4.0 m vertically? ANSWER: (a) The work against friction is Work = 230 Nt ? 4.0 m = 920 Joules 230 * 4.0 920. (b) The work against gravity is W = mgh = 1300 Nt ? 9.8 m?sec2 ?4.0 m = 5,200 Joules 9.8 m?sec2 1300. * 4.0 5200. ü Problem #5 QUESTION: A box of mass 5.0 kg is accelerated from rest across a floor at a rate of 2.0 m/sec2 for 7.0 sec. Find the net work done on the box. ANSWER: Recall the definition of acceleration a=(V f - V0 M?t can be rewritten as V f = V0 + a t. We know V0=0 2 since the box started at rest and the acceleration is a =2.0 m/s for a time t=7.0 sec. So we obtain V f =14 m/s. V0 = 0.; a = 2.0; t = 7.0; Vf = V0 + a * t 14. The change in kinetic energy is by definition DKE = KE -KE where KE = 1 m V 2 = 0 since V =0 m/sec. The f 0 0 2 0 0 initial KE = 1 m v 2 = 0 Joules and the final KE = 1 m v 2 = 490 Joules so DKE = KE -KE =(490 J - 0 J)= 490 0 2 0 f 2 f f 0 J. The work-kinetic energy theorem says W=DKE=490 Joules in this case. m = 5.0; V0 = 0.; KE0 = H1 ê 2L * m * HV0L2 0. Vf = 14.0; KEf = H1 ê 2L * m * HVfL2 490. W = KEf - KE0 490. ü Problem #12 The force on an object acting along the x axis varies as shown in Fig 6-37. Determine the work done by this force to move the object (a) from x=0 to x=10m and (b) from x=0 t
