Question

2.)A block of mass

m = 3.90 kg

is pushed a distance

d = 5.90 m

along a frictionless, horizontal table by a constant applied force of magnitude

F = 16.0 N

directed at an angle

= 22.0°

below the horizontal as shown in the figure below.

(a) Determine the work done on the block by the applied force.
J

(b) Determine the work done on the block by the normal force exerted by the table.
J

(c) Determine the work done on the block by the gravitational force.
J

(d) Determine the work done by the net force on the block.
J

5.)A particle is subject to a force Fx that varies with position as shown in the following figure.

(a) Find the work done by the force on the particle as it moves from x = 0 to x = 3.00 m.
J

(b) Find the work done by the force on the particle as it moves from x = 5.00 m to x = 7.00 m.
J

(c) Find the work done by the force on the particle as it moves from x = 10.0 m to x = 15.0 m.
J

(d) What is the total work done by the force over the distance x = 0 to x = 15.0 m?
J

vB =  m/s vC =  m/s

Explanation / Answer

(2) a. W = F.d = Fdcos(theta)

W = 16 x 5.90 x cos22

W = 87.5 J


(b) W = N d cos90 = 0

(cos90 = 0 )

(c) W = m g d cos90 = 0

(d) Net work done = 87.5 + 0 + 0

= 87.5 J
