<strong>8.3</strong> <strong>In</strong> <strong>Fig</strong> 8-<strong>30</strong>, a <strong>2.00g</strong> <strong>ice</strong> <strong>flake</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>released</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>edge</strong> of a hem<strong>is</strong>pherical bowl whose radius <strong>is</strong><br />
22 cm. The <strong>flake</strong>=bowl contact <strong>is</strong> frictionless. (a) how much work <strong>is</strong> done on <strong>the</strong> <strong>flake</strong> by <strong>the</strong><br />
gravitation force during <strong>the</strong> <strong>flake</strong>’s descent to <strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> bowl? (b) What <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> change in<br />
<strong>the</strong> potential energy of <strong>the</strong> <strong>flake</strong> Earth system during <strong>the</strong> descent? (c) If that potential energy <strong>is</strong><br />
taken to be zero at <strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> bowl, what <strong>is</strong> its value when <strong>the</strong> <strong>flake</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>released</strong>? (d) If<br />
instead, <strong>the</strong> potential energy <strong>is</strong> taken to be zero at <strong>the</strong> release point, what <strong>is</strong> its value when <strong>the</strong> <strong>flake</strong><br />
reaches <strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> bowl (e) If <strong>the</strong> mass of <strong>the</strong> <strong>flake</strong> were doubled, would <strong>the</strong> magnitudes of<br />
<strong>the</strong> answers to (a) through (d) increase, decrease, or remain <strong>the</strong> same?<br />
a) The work done <strong>is</strong><br />
W = −ΔU<br />
= −(U f<br />
−U i<br />
)<br />
= −(0− mgy)<br />
= 2 ×10 −3 ⋅ 9.8m / s 2 ⋅ 0.22m<br />
= 4.312 ×10 −3 J<br />
For th<strong>is</strong> part of <strong>the</strong> problem, assume <strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> bowl <strong>is</strong> zero height<br />
b) See part (a). ΔU = −4.312 ×10 −3 J<br />
U f<br />
= 0<br />
U i<br />
= mgR<br />
W = −(U f<br />
−U i<br />
)<br />
= mgR<br />
c) See part (a) U i<br />
= 4.312 ×10 −3 J<br />
d) Assume that <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> bowl <strong>is</strong> 0 height. The bottom would be -R<br />
U i<br />
= 0<br />
U f<br />
= mg(−R) = −4.312×10 −3 J<br />
e) All of <strong>the</strong>se answers are linear in m. If you double <strong>the</strong> mass, <strong>the</strong> results double.<br />
8.5 <strong>In</strong> <strong>Fig</strong>. 8-32, a frictionless roller coaster car of mass m = 825kg tops <strong>the</strong> first hill with a speed<br />
of v =17m / s at height h=42.0 m. How much work does <strong>the</strong> gravitational force do on <strong>the</strong> car<br />
force that point to (a) point A, (b) point B, and (c) point C. If <strong>the</strong> gravitation potential energy of <strong>the</strong><br />
car-Earth system <strong>is</strong> taken to be zero at C, what <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> value when when <strong>the</strong> car <strong>is</strong> at (d) B and (e) A?<br />
(f) If <strong>the</strong> mass m were doubled, would <strong>the</strong> change in gravitational potential energy of <strong>the</strong> system<br />
between points A and B increase, decrease, or remain <strong>the</strong> same?<br />
We can work th<strong>is</strong> problem using our knowl<strong>edge</strong> of <strong>the</strong> relationship between work and <strong>the</strong> change in<br />
potential energy.

d) The gravitational potential energy at B <strong>is</strong><br />
= mgh = 825⋅ 9.8 ⋅ 42m<br />
e) The gravitational potential at A <strong>is</strong><br />
U B<br />
= mg h 2<br />
= 825 ⋅ 9.8⋅ 42m<br />
2<br />
=169,785J
U A<br />
= mgh<br />
= 825 ⋅ 9.8⋅ 42m<br />
= 339,570J<br />
f) If you double <strong>the</strong> mass, all results double.<br />
8.7 <strong>In</strong> <strong>Fig</strong>. 8-33, a small block of mass m = 0.032kg can slide along <strong>the</strong> frictionless loop-<strong>the</strong>-loop<br />
with a loop radius of R=12 cm. The block <strong>is</strong> <strong>released</strong> <strong>from</strong> rest at a point P, at height 5.0F above<br />
<strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> loop. A block slides on a track <strong>from</strong> a height 5R.<br />
a) How much work does <strong>the</strong> weight do on <strong>the</strong> block as it travels <strong>from</strong> P to Q? Assume that <strong>the</strong><br />
potential energy at <strong>the</strong> bottom <strong>is</strong> 0.<br />
W = −ΔU<br />
= −(mgy f<br />
− mgy i<br />
)<br />
= −(mgR − mg⋅ 5R)<br />
= 4mgR<br />
= 4 ⋅ 0.032kg ⋅ 9.8m / s 2 ⋅ 0.12m<br />
= 0.151J<br />
b) How much work does <strong>the</strong> weight do on <strong>the</strong> block as it travels <strong>from</strong> P to <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> loop?<br />
Assume that <strong>the</strong> potential energy at <strong>the</strong> bottom <strong>is</strong> 0.<br />
W = −ΔU<br />
= −(mgy f<br />
− mgy i<br />
)<br />
= −(mg ⋅ 2R − mg ⋅ 5R)<br />
= 3mgR<br />
= 3⋅ 0.032kg ⋅ 9.8m / s 2 ⋅ 0.12m<br />
= 0.113J<br />
c-e) Calculate <strong>the</strong> potential energies. Assume that <strong>the</strong> potential energy at <strong>the</strong> bottom <strong>is</strong> 0.<br />
At point P U = mg(5R) = 0.188J<br />
At point Q U = mg(R) = 0.0376J<br />
At top of loop U = mg(2R) = 0.0753J<br />
f) The potential energies and work done are unaffected by <strong>the</strong> initial velocity that <strong>the</strong> particle might<br />
have.
8.18 A 2.0 kg block <strong>is</strong> dropped <strong>from</strong> a height of 40 cm onto a spring of spring constant of<br />
k=1960N/m. Find <strong>the</strong> maximum d<strong>is</strong>tance that <strong>the</strong> spring <strong>is</strong> compressed.<br />
The mass will stop when all of <strong>the</strong> change in gravitational potential energy has been converted into<br />
energy in <strong>the</strong> spring. We can use energy conservation to do th<strong>is</strong> problem.<br />
Let’s consider <strong>the</strong> d<strong>is</strong>tance that <strong>the</strong> spring compresses. The energy that <strong>is</strong> stored in <strong>the</strong> spring <strong>is</strong><br />
where y <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> amount of compression.<br />
U s<br />
= 1 2 k y 2<br />
Defining zero height <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> point where <strong>the</strong> spring <strong>is</strong> not stretched or compressed we can write<br />
<strong>the</strong> initial energy potential as<br />
U gi<br />
= mgh<br />
The energy when <strong>the</strong> block <strong>is</strong> dropped <strong>is</strong> equal to <strong>the</strong> energy at <strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> compression. The<br />
block <strong>is</strong> dropped <strong>from</strong> rest so <strong>the</strong>re <strong>is</strong> no initial kinetic energy. The energy at <strong>the</strong> bottom <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
compressed spring and a gravitational piece.<br />

The negative sign <strong>is</strong> to be expected, since <strong>the</strong> final position <strong>is</strong> below <strong>the</strong> starting position.<br />
8.23 The string in <strong>Fig</strong> 8-38 <strong>is</strong> L=120 cm long, has a ball attached to one end, and <strong>is</strong> fixed at its<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r end. The d<strong>is</strong>tance d to <strong>the</strong> fixed peg at point P <strong>is</strong> 75.0 cm. When <strong>the</strong> initially stationary ball<br />
<strong>is</strong> <strong>released</strong> wit <strong>the</strong> string horizontal as shown, it will swing along <strong>the</strong> dashed arc. What <strong>is</strong> its speed<br />
when it reaches (a) its lowest point and (b) its highest point after <strong>the</strong> string catches on <strong>the</strong> peg.<br />
We begin by computing <strong>the</strong> total energy.<br />
E i<br />
= 1 2 mv 2 i<br />
+ mgh i<br />
= 0 + mgL<br />
E i<br />
= mgL<br />
The total energy remains constant throughout th<strong>is</strong> problem. We now consider <strong>the</strong> lowest point.<br />

b) We now consider <strong>the</strong> high point after catching<br />

E High<br />
= 1 2 mv 2 High<br />

h High<br />
= 2 ⋅ (L − d)<br />
E High<br />
= 1 2 mv High 2 + 2mg(L − d)<br />
E High<br />

2 mv 2 High<br />

8.29 <strong>In</strong> fig <strong>8.3</strong>4, a 12 kg block <strong>is</strong> <strong>released</strong> <strong>from</strong> rest on a <strong>30</strong> degree frictionless incline. Below <strong>the</strong><br />
block <strong>is</strong> a spring that can be compressed 2.0 cm by a force of 270N. The block momentarily stops<br />
when it compresses <strong>the</strong> spring by 5.5 cm. (a) How far does <strong>the</strong> block move down <strong>the</strong> incline <strong>from</strong><br />
its rest position to th<strong>is</strong> stopping point. (b) What <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> speed of <strong>the</strong> block just as it touches <strong>the</strong><br />
spring.<br />
(a) All of <strong>the</strong> potential energy of <strong>the</strong> spring comes <strong>from</strong> change in gravitational potential energy.<br />

sinθ = 0.1736m<br />
sin <strong>30</strong> = 0.3472m<br />
(b) To compute <strong>the</strong> kinetic energy at impact, we need to find <strong>the</strong> vertical d<strong>is</strong>tance that <strong>the</strong> block<br />
moved. The d<strong>is</strong>tance down <strong>the</strong> incline before compressing <strong>the</strong> spring can be computed.<br />
′ d = d − 0.055m<br />
= 0.3472m − 0.055m<br />
= 0.2922m
Since we know <strong>the</strong> d<strong>is</strong>tance down <strong>the</strong> incline, we can find <strong>the</strong> vertical drop, change in potential<br />
energy and finally <strong>the</strong> kinetic energy and velocity.<br />

<strong>8.3</strong>6 A boy <strong>is</strong> seated on top of a hem<strong>is</strong>pherical mound of <strong>ice</strong> of radius R=13.8m. He begins to<br />
slide down <strong>the</strong> <strong>ice</strong>, with a negligible initial speed. Approximate <strong>the</strong> <strong>ice</strong> as being frictionless. At<br />
what height does <strong>the</strong> boy lose contact with <strong>the</strong> <strong>ice</strong>. Show that he leaves <strong>the</strong> <strong>ice</strong> at point whose height<br />
<strong>is</strong> 2R/3 if <strong>the</strong> <strong>ice</strong> <strong>is</strong> frictionless.<br />
We begin with a picture.<br />
We are interested in finding when <strong>the</strong> Normal force d<strong>is</strong>appears. We treat th<strong>is</strong> as a circular motion<br />

We now know <strong>the</strong> velocity when <strong>the</strong> boy comes off <strong>the</strong> <strong>ice</strong>. We now use conservation of energy to<br />
find out how high he <strong>is</strong> when th<strong>is</strong> happens.<br />

8.71 A conservative force F(x) acts on a 2.0 kg particle that moves along an x ax<strong>is</strong>. The potential<br />
energy U(x) associated with F(x) <strong>is</strong> graphed below. When <strong>the</strong> particle <strong>is</strong> at x=2.0 m, its velocity <strong>is</strong><br />
-1.5 m/s. What are <strong>the</strong> (a) magnitude and (b) direction of F(x) at th<strong>is</strong> position? Between what<br />
positions on <strong>the</strong> (c) left and (d) right does <strong>the</strong> particle move? (e) What <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> particle’s speed at<br />
x=7.0 m.
a and b) The magnitude and direction of <strong>the</strong> force at x=2 are given by sign and magnitude of <strong>the</strong><br />
slope at x=2. F=-slope of U(x) vs. x.<br />
At x=2, <strong>the</strong> slope = -4.667, so F = 4.667 (positive indicates that <strong>the</strong> force <strong>is</strong> in <strong>the</strong> +x direction)<br />
c and d) To find <strong>the</strong> turning points, we need to find where <strong>the</strong> total energy line crosses U(x). At<br />
<strong>the</strong>se crossing points, all of <strong>the</strong> energy <strong>is</strong> potential. Th<strong>is</strong> means that <strong>the</strong> particle must stop (since it<br />
has zero kinetic energy) and turn around.<br />
At x=2<br />
KE = 1 2 mv2 = 1 2 ⋅ 2.0kg ⋅(−1.5m / s)2 = 2.25J<br />
U(2) = −7.667( <strong>from</strong>graph)<br />
E = KE +U = −5.417J<br />
The graph below shows <strong>the</strong> total energy line (dashed). The turning points are where <strong>the</strong> total<br />
energy line crosses <strong>the</strong> U(x) There are at approximately 1.5 m and 13.75 m
e) We can use <strong>the</strong> total energy to find <strong>the</strong> particle’s speed at x=7m<br />
KE =<br />
1 2 mv2<br />
U(2) = −17J ( <strong>from</strong>graph)<br />

You may get a slightly different answer because of <strong>the</strong> inherent problems in reading off <strong>the</strong> graph.
