Chapter 9, Problem 51AP

(a)

To determine

The final velocity of the object.

Answer to Problem 51AP

The final velocity of the object is $\left(20\widehat{\text{i}}+7\widehat{\text{j}}\right)\text{m}/\text{s}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The mass of the object is $3\text{kg}$, the velocity of the object is $7\widehat{\text{j}}\text{m}/\text{s}$ and the net force acting on the object is $12\widehat{\text{i}}\text{N}$. The time duration is $5\text{s}$.

Write the expression of impulse momentum equation.

$m\left(\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}-\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{i}}}\right)=\overrightarrow{\text{F}}\cdot \Delta t$ (1)

Here,

$m$ is the mass of the object.

$\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}$ is the final velocity of the object.

$\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{i}}}$ is the initial velocity of the object.

$\overrightarrow{\text{F}}$ is the net force acting on the object.

$\Delta t$ is the time duration.

Substitute $3\text{kg}$ for $m$, $7\widehat{\text{j}}\text{m}/\text{s}$ for $\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{i}}}$, $12\widehat{\text{i}}\text{N}$ for $\overrightarrow{\text{F}}$ and $5\text{s}$ for $\Delta t$ in equation (1) to find $\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}$.

$\begin{array}{c}3\text{kg}\left(\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}-7\widehat{\text{j}}\text{m}/\text{s}\right)=12\widehat{\text{i}}\text{N}\times 5\text{s}\\ \overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}=\left(20\widehat{\text{i}}+7\widehat{\text{j}}\right)\text{m}/\text{s}\end{array}$

Thus, the final velocity of the object is $\left(20\widehat{\text{i}}+7\widehat{\text{j}}\right)\text{m}/\text{s}$.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the final velocity of the object is $\left(20\widehat{\text{i}}+7\widehat{\text{j}}\right)\text{m}/\text{s}$.

Write the expression to calculate the acceleration of the object.

$\overrightarrow{\text{a}}=\frac{\left(\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}-\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{i}}}\right)}{\Delta t}$ (2)

Here,

$\overrightarrow{\text{a}}$ is the acceleration of the object.

Substitute $7\widehat{\text{j}}\text{m}/\text{s}$ for $\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{i}}}$, $\left(20\widehat{\text{i}}+7\widehat{\text{j}}\right)\text{m}/\text{s}$ for $\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}$ and $5\text{s}$ for $\Delta t$ in equation (2) to find $\overrightarrow{\text{a}}$.

$\begin{array}{c}\overrightarrow{\text{a}}=\frac{\left(20\widehat{\text{i}}+7\widehat{\text{j}}\right)\text{m}/\text{s}-7\widehat{\text{j}}\text{m}/\text{s}}{5\text{s}}\\ =4\widehat{\text{i}}\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}\end{array}$

Thus, the acceleration of the object is $4\widehat{\text{i}}\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}$.

Write the expression to calculate the acceleration of the object.

$\overrightarrow{\text{a}}=\frac{{\displaystyle \sum \overrightarrow{\text{F}}}}{m}$ (3)

Substitute $12\widehat{\text{i}}\text{N}$ for ${\displaystyle \sum \overrightarrow{\text{F}}}$ and $3\text{kg}$ for $m$ in equation (3) to find $\overrightarrow{\text{a}}$.

$\begin{array}{c}\overrightarrow{\text{a}}=\frac{12\widehat{\text{i}}\text{N}}{3\text{kg}}\\ =4\widehat{\text{i}}\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}\end{array}$

Thus, the acceleration of the object is $4\widehat{\text{i}}\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}$.

To determine

The result of comparison of the answers in part (b), (c) and (f), (g).

Answer to Problem 51AP

The value of acceleration in part (b), (c) and kinetic energy in part (f), (g) are same.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The mass of the object is $3\text{kg}$, the velocity of the object is $7\widehat{\text{j}}\text{m}/\text{s}$ and the net force acting on the object is $12\widehat{\text{i}}\text{N}$. The time duration is $5\text{s}$.

Write the expression to calculate the acceleration of the object.

$\overrightarrow{\text{a}}=\frac{\left(\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}-\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{i}}}\right)}{\Delta t}$ (2)

Write the expression to calculate the acceleration of the object.

$\overrightarrow{\text{a}}=\frac{{\displaystyle \sum \overrightarrow{\text{F}}}}{m}$ (3)

According to the second law of motion,

${\displaystyle \sum \overrightarrow{\text{F}}}=m\frac{\left(\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}-\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{i}}}\right)}{\Delta t}$

Substitute $m\frac{\left(\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}-\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{i}}}\right)}{\Delta t}$ for ${\displaystyle \sum \overrightarrow{\text{F}}}$ in equation (2).

$\begin{array}{c}\overrightarrow{\text{a}}=\frac{m\frac{\left(\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}-\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{i}}}\right)}{\Delta t}}{m}\\ =\frac{\left(\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{f}}}-\overrightarrow{{\text{v}}_{\text{i}}}\right)}{\Delta t}\end{array}$ (8)

The equation (2) and (8) are same therefore, the value of acceleration in part (b) and (c) are same.

Write the expression to calculate the work done on the object,

$\begin{array}{c}W=\text{change}\text{in}\text{kinetic}\text{energy}\\ =\frac{1}{2}m{v}_{\text{f}}^{\text{2}}-\frac{1}{2}m{v}_{\text{i}}^{\text{2}}\end{array}$ (9)

Substitute $\frac{1}{2}m{v}_{\text{f}}^{\text{2}}-\frac{1}{2}m{v}_{\text{i}}^{\text{2}}$ for $W$ in equation (9).

$\begin{array}{c}E=\frac{1}{2}m{v}_{\text{i}}^{\text{2}}+\frac{1}{2}m{v}_{\text{f}}^{\text{2}}-\frac{1}{2}m{v}_{\text{i}}^{\text{2}}\\ =\frac{1}{2}m{v}_{\text{f}}^{\text{2}}\end{array}$ (10)

The equation (10) and (6) are same.

Thus, the value of kinetic energy in part (f) and (g) are same.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the value of acceleration in part (b), (c) and kinetic energy in part (f), (g) are same.
