9 ID: A C_Energy_omentum Practice 8 Answer Section ULTIPLE CHOICE. ANS: E K = U = (U f U i ) = ( mgh) = mgh = ()()() =,J. ANS: D U = U f U i = mgh = (6)()(sin3) = (6)()() = 6J 3. ANS: B W nc = K + U = K f K i + U f U i = mv + mgh f = (6)() (6)()(sin3) = 3 6 = 3J 4. ANS: C K = U K f K i = (U f U i ) ( mv ) = (mgh ) o mv = mgh o v o = gh 5. ANS: A His force is directed up, but the block is not moving up or down, so no work. 6. ANS: C W g = U g = (U f U i ) = (mgh ) = ()()(5) = 3J

10 ID: A 7. ANS: E F = k N = k(4 o ) N = k(6 ); dividing the top equation by the bottom gives: = 4 6 which can be used to show that By substitution of o = cm into one of the equations above, we get k = 5N / m X = (5)(3 ) = 5() = 5N 8. ANS: E L L Ê W applied = F()d = (a + b )d = a + b 3 3 Á ˆ L = al + bl3 3 Note that the force is the opposite of the given restoring force, since we are asking about the applied force eerted on the rubber band -- 3rd Law! 9. ANS: E W net = K = mv The net work varies linearly with v, and quadratically with v.. ANS: C W net = K = K f K i = mv mv = m(v v f i f i ) v i = 4 + ( 3) = = 5m / s v f = + (3) = = 3m / s W net = ()(3 5) = J. ANS: A Four strings attached to the load must be shortened. The string is pulled four times further than the load is lifted. Increasing the distance by a factor of four reduces the force by a factor of four.. ANS: C P = W t = mgh t = È () ÎÍ (6)()(5) 6 = W

11 ID: A 3. ANS: D K = U mv = mg(h f h ) v f = g(h h ) 4. ANS: D F = du d( mg + d = k ) d = ( mg + k) = mg k 5. ANS: A If it goes all the way down, the speed is given by v = gh where h is the vertical height lost. To get / of this speed v = gh = g h 4 Therefore, this speed is attained when /4 of the height has been lost. This will occur when /4 of the distance L has been covered. 6. ANS: D Each statement describes a characteristic of a conservative force. 7. ANS: E All are conservative. Only non-conservative forces change mechanical energy by increasing or reducing the sum of potential plus kinetic energy. 8. ANS: B If a force is eerted to unbalance the system, it will topple. This is characteristic of unstable equilibium. 9. ANS: A Unstable equilibrium is a maimum potential energy situation.. ANS: C The first and second derivatives are both zero, which is a condition for a flat potential energy surface. 3

12 ID: A. ANS: C W = F R = (5)(.4) + ()(.5) + ( 3)() = + 6 = 3J. ANS: E After the movement, the canoe must have no momentum, since it had none before the movement started. To maintain the same center of mass, the mass of the canoe must move backward to account for the movement of the man s center of mass forward. 3. ANS: B Kinetic energy depends upon m and v, whereas momentum depends on m and v. Therefore, any reduction in m with a proportional increase in v necessary to have the same momentum will increase the kinetic energy. 4. ANS: C = mv + v r v r = mv the negative sign indicates a direction opposite that of the bullet. 5. ANS: C = mv + v r v r = mv the negative sign indicates a direction opposite that of the bullet. 6. ANS: A J = Area = (base)(height) = (.s)(8,n) = 8Ns J = p = p f p i p f = p i + J = mv i + J = (kg)(m / s) 8N = 6Ns v f = 6Ns kg = 6m / s 7. ANS: B Ft = p f p i = mv f F = mv f t = mv T 4

13 ID: A 8. ANS: D Definitional. 9. ANS: A Using momentum conservation (no units for simplicity) ()(5) + (4)( 5) = v A + 4V B = v A + 4v B = v A + v B v A = v B Looking at the answer choices, the first two are possible, but only a) allows for a rebound of A. The other would have required A to travel through B. 3. ANS: E = mv ( m)v v = mv m (the nucleus goes down in mass by m when it ejects a particle of mass m) 3. ANS: E Greatest area under the curve means greatest work. 3. ANS: B You need to double the initial kinetic energy to double the final potential energy, which happens if you multiply the velocity by. 33. ANS: B The smaller block is going up at the same speed the larger block is going down. So P = p + p = m v m v = (m m )v (This is the magnitude; if up is considered positive, to correctly show the sign of the linear magnitude would require (m m )v which would be negative indicating a downward vector momentum. 34. ANS: A One block s potential energy goes up by m gh while the other s potential energy goes down by m gh. Therefore, the decrease in potential energy has a magnitude given by (m m ) g h. 5

14 ID: A 35. ANS: B The y-momentum before the collision is zero, so it will remain zero after the collision. The -momentum problem is: m o v o cos(6 o ) + m o v o cos(6 o ) = (m )v Ê ˆ v o Á = v v = v o 36. ANS: B Assume the length of each wire is 4 units m() + m() + m() y cm = = units or just above the unit mark, but not as far as. units 37. ANS: E v cm = v ANS: A = P B P A mv B = (m + m brick )v A 4(5) = (v A ) v A = m / s v = 5 = 3m / s 39. ANS: E Forces are internal; no change in CO. 6

15 ID: A 4. ANS: A mv = mv + mv AND mv = mv + mv v = v + v AND v = v + v squaring the left-hand equation, and setting it equal to the right-hand equation, yields v = v + 4v v + 4v = v + v and simplifying 4v v + 4v = v which yields v + v = v and then v = v or v = v Putting this in initial momentum equation yields mv = m( v + v ) which yields v = 3 v which yields v = v 3 4. ANS: C W = K = K f K i = (4) È ( + 3 ) (4 + ( 3) ) ÎÍ = 4J 4. ANS: B a = dv dt = 3ct F = ma = 3cmt evaluated at t=t 7
