A block of ice(m = 14.0 kg) with an attached rope is at rest on a frictionless surface. You pull the block with a horizontal force of 98.0 N for 1.40 s.(a) Determine the magnitude of each force acting on the block of ice while you are pulling.Fpull = NFg = NFN = N(b) With what speed is the ice moving after you are finished pulling?m/s

Sagot :

Answer:

a) The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) We need to calculate the weight, normal force from the ground to the block and the pull force. By 3rd Newton's Law we know that normal force is the reaction of the weight of the block of ice on a horizontal.

The weight of the block ([tex]W[/tex]), measured in newtons, is:

[tex]W = m\cdot g[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the block of ice, measured in kilograms.

[tex]g[/tex]  - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that [tex]m = 14\,kg[/tex] and [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], the magnitudes of the weight and normal force of the block of ice are, respectively:

[tex]N = W = (14\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)[/tex]

[tex]N = W = 137.298\,N[/tex]

And the pull force is:

[tex]F_{pull} = 98\,N[/tex]

The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) Since the block of ice is on a frictionless surface and pull force is parallel to the direction of motion and uniform in time, we can apply the Impact Theorem, which states that:

[tex]m\cdot v_{o} +\Sigma F \cdot \Delta t = m\cdot v_{f}[/tex] (2)

Where:

[tex]v_{o}[/tex], [tex]v_{f}[/tex] - Initial and final speeds of the block, measured in meters per second.

[tex]\Sigma F[/tex] - Horizontal net force, measured in newtons.

[tex]\Delta t[/tex] - Impact time, measured in seconds.

Now we clear the final speed in (2):

[tex]v_{f} = v_{o}+\frac{\Sigma F\cdot \Delta t}{m}[/tex]

If we know that [tex]v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]m = 14\,kg[/tex], [tex]\Sigma F = 98\,N[/tex] and [tex]\Delta t = 1.40\,s[/tex], then final speed of the ice block is:

[tex]v_{f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}+\frac{(98\,N)\cdot (1.40\,s)}{14\,kg}[/tex]

[tex]v_{f} = 9.8\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.
