Block

Person
Ice
A person pushes a large block on a horizontal ice surface in a straight line to the right with constant speed, as shown above. The mass of the block is 10 kg and frictional forces between the block and the ice are negligible. However, the block has a wide cross-sectional area such that air resistance acting on the block cannot be neglected. The
opposite is true for the person: air resistance on the person is negligible, but the person's shoes do not slip on the ice. The table shows the force exerted by the person on the block for several values of constant speed.

- PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. Aluminized mylar film is a highly reflective, lightweight material that could be used to make sails for spacecraft driven by the light of the sun. Suppose a sail with area 1.07 km2 is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 1.39 x 1011 m. The sail has a mass of 5.21 x 10° kg and is tethered to a payload of mass 2.09 x 104 kg. (a) If the intensity of the sunlight is 1.34 x 103 W/m? and the sail is oriented perpendicular to the incident light, what radial force is exerted on the sail? (b) About how long would it take to change the radial speed of the sail by 1.00 km/s? Assume that the sail is perfectly reflecting. (c) Suppose the light were supplied by a large , powerful laser beam instead of the Sun. (Such systems have been proposed.) Calculate the peak electric and magnetic fields of the laser light.

More complex shapes require calculus or the square-counting technique in the next worked example. QUESTION When stretching springs, does half the displacement require half as much work? (Select all that apply.) Yes, because the work is equal to the force times the distance. Yes, because the spring exerts a constant force. Yes, because half the displacement means the force from the spring is half as large. No, because the spring does not exert a constant force. No, because the force of the spring is proportional to x. No, because the force exerted by the spring is proportional to x². PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. One end of a horizontal spring (k = 87.4 N/m) is held fixed while an external force is applied to the free end, stretching it slowly from XA = 0 to xB = 4.69 cm.
