The force Fx acting on a 0.500-kg particle is shown as a function of x in (see below). (a) From the graph, calculate the work done by the force when the particle moves from x = 0.00 to the following values of x: -4.00, -3.00,-2.00, -1.00, +1.00, +2.00, +3.00, and +4.00 m. (b) If it starts with a velocity of 2.00 m/s in the +x direction, how far will the particle go in that direction before stopping?
Equation: Kinetic Energy final- Kinetic energy initial = delta
kinetic energy.
Kinetic Energy Initial= 1/2mv^2= 1/2(0.5)(2.0)^2= 1.00 Joules of
starting energy.
Delta Kinetic Energy = 1/2(mass)(final velocity)^2- 1/2m(initial
velocity)^2
Either way, we want the Kinetic Energy to reach zero.
This particle needs to lose that kinetic energy before it can
stop...so it must lose 1 Joule of kinetic energy.
To find the remaining Joules, find the area under the curve
(because our graph is in relation of Force and distance and
force*distance= Work in Joules. (1 Joule equals one square). Half a
Joule equals half a square.
The Joules below the x axis are negative because of the above
reason and the Joules above the x-axis are positive because of the
above reason.
The slope of the graph switches between rising 2N/meters and
-2N/Meters and flatlining
The area of the first gap from 0 to 1 meter is a triangle
like:
Area= ((b)(h)) /2 = (2*1)/2 =1.0 Joules.
So kinetic energy starting 1.0 Joules =2.00 Joules now, but we need
to lose 2.00 Joules now so that the particle can stop at zero
kinetic energy.
Then from 1 meter to 2 meters is another area equation:
Area= (b*h)/2 = -(2*1)/2 = -1.0 Joules....
Now Kinetic energy at this point is 2.0 Joules-1.00 Joules= 1.0
Joules. Now we just need to lose one more joule before the particle
will stop.
And if we go from x=2 meters to x=3 meters then
Area of rectangle= -(2*1) =-2 Joules...so now we have...
1.0 Joules -2.00 Joules=-1.00 Joules.
Well, the particle must have stopped somewhere between x=2 meters
and x=3 meters. If we calculate the area halfway in-between we find
that the Kinetic energy in Joules reaches stopping distance at 2.5
meters having 0 Joules of Kinetic energy for motion.
