A box of mass 8.0 kg is accelerated from rest across a floor at a rate of 6.0 m/s2 for 7.0 s . Find the net work done on the box.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution :-

mass m = 8 kg

initial velocity u = 0

time t = 7 s

Acceration a = 6 m/s 2

From the relation v = u + at

                            = 0 +(7×6)

                            = 42 m/s

the net work done on the box W = Change in kinetic energy        Since from work energy theorem

                                               = (1/2)m[v 2 - u 2]

                                               = (1/2)(8)(422)

                                               = 7056 J

A box of mass m1 = 2.0 kg starts from rest and slides down the frictionless incline. At point A, the box encounters a (massless) spring of spring constant k. It compresses the spring a distance x = 0.25 m to point B where the speed of the box is 4.4 m/s. The first box is then removed and a second box of mass m2 = 3.0 kg is placed on the same incline at the same initial point and...
