A particle of mass 2.0 kg moves under the influence of the force F(x)=(-5x^2+7x)~\text{N}F(x)=(−5x ​2 ​​ +7x) N. If its speed at x=-4.0~\text{m}x=−4.0 m is v=20.0~\text{m/s}v=20.0 m/s, what is its speed at x=4.0~\text{m}x=4.0 m?

Answer:

The speed of the particle at x = 4.0 m is 13.66 m/s

Explanation:

The work done by this force between the two points above is given by

W = ∫ F dx

W = ∫⁴₋₄ (-5x² + 7x) dx

W = [(-5x³/3) + (7x²/2)]⁴₋₄

W = [(-5(4³)/3) + (7(4²)/2)] - [(-5(-4)³)/3) + (7((-4)²)/2)] = (-50.6667) - (162.6667) = (- 213.33 J)

Kinetic energy at -4.0 m

At this point, v = 20 m/s

K.E = mv²/2 = 2 × 20²/2 = 400 J

To obtain the kinetic energy at 4 m,

We apply the work-energy theorem which mathematically translates to

The work done in moving a particle from one point to another = Change in kinetic energy of the particle between those two points

W = ΔK.E

Work done between x = - 4m and x = 4 m is - 213.33 J

Hence, ΔK.E = -213.33 J

Change in kinetic energy of the particle between x = - 4m and x = 4m is ΔK.E

ΔK.E = (Kinetic energy at x = 4m) - (kinetic energy at x = - 4m)

- 213.33 J = (mv²/2) - 400

mv²/2 = -213.33 + 400 = 186.67 J

2v² = 2 × 186.67

v² = 186.67

v = 13.66 m/s.

The area bounded by the force function gives the work done by the force.

The speed of the particle at x = 4.0 is approximately 13.66 m/s

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Particle's mass = 2.0 kg

Force acting on the particle, F(x) = (-5·x² + 7·x) N

The speed of the particle at x = -4.0 m, v = 20.0 m/s

Required:

The speed of the particle at x = 4.0 m

Solution:

Work done by the force, W = F × Δx

Where;

Δx = The change in the position of the particle

Therefore, the work done between -4.0 m, and 4.0 m. is given as follows;

[tex]W = \displaystyle \int\limits^4_{-4} {\left(-5 \cdot x^2 + 7 \cdot x \right)} \, dx = \mathbf{\left[ -\frac{5}{3} \cdot x^3 + \frac{7}{2} \cdot x^2 \right]^4_{-4}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \left[ -\frac{5}{3} \cdot x^3 + \frac{7}{2} \cdot x^2 \right]^4_{-4} = \left(-\frac{5}{3} \times 4^3 + \frac{7}{2} \times 4^2 \right) - \left(-\frac{5}{3} \times (-4)^3 + \frac{7}{2} \times (-4)^2 \right)[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \left(-\frac{5}{3} \times 4^3 + \frac{7}{2} \times 4^2 \right) - \left(-\frac{5}{3} \times (-4)^3 + \frac{7}{2} \times (-4)^2 \right) = -\frac{640}{3} = - 213 .\overline 3[/tex]

Therefore;

The work done on the particle by the force = [tex]\mathbf{-213. \overline 3}[/tex] J

[tex]Kineyic \ enegy, \ K.E. = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v^2}[/tex]

Initial kinetic energy of the particle, K.E. ar x = 4, is 0.5×2.0 kg×20² = 400 J

According to the work energy theorem, we have;

Work done = Change in kinetic energy

Change in kinetic energy = K.E. at x = 4 - K.E. at x = -4

Therefore;

[tex]-213. \overline 3[/tex] =  [tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \times 2 \times v^2}[/tex] - 400

Where;

v = The velocity at x = 4

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2} \times 2 \times v^2 = v^2[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]-213. \overline 3[/tex] = v² - 400

v² = 400 - [tex]213. \overline 3[/tex]  = 186.[tex]\overline 6[/tex]

v = √(186.[tex]\overline 6[/tex]) ≈ 13.66

The speed of the particle at x = 4.0 m is v ≈ 13.66 m/s
