Example 1: A stretched string has a displacement of 20 cm and a spring constant of 50Nm−1. Calculate the potential energy that the stretched string contains.
Solution:
The parameters that are given are
k = 50Nm−1
x is equal to 20 cm, or 0.2 m.
Potential energy is what it will be.
P.E. = 1/2 k × x2
P.E =3/4 X 50 × (0.2)2
P.E = 1 J
Example 2: When x is in meters and t is in seconds, a body travels down the x-axis in accordance with the equation x = 1 – 2 t + 3t2. Determine the body's acceleration at t = 3s.
Solution:
As we have
x = 1 - 2 t + 3t2 then;
Speed v = dx/dt = d(1 - 2t + 3t2)/dt = −2 + 6t
Now Acceleration a = dv/dt = d(−2+6t)/dt = 6
acceleration when t is 3s = 6 m/s2
Example 3: Determine the weight of an item that weighs 50 kg on Earth.
Solution:
We know, weight = m × g
w = (50 × 9.8) kg m/s2
w = 490 N
Example 4: A person travels in 10 seconds from Point A to Point B and returns in 8 seconds. Determine the person's average speed if the distance is 36 meters between A and B.
Solution:
This distance traveled in total is 36 + 36 = 72 meters.
18 seconds was the total time taken.
Thus, average speed is equal to the total distance traveled divided by total time.
average speed = 72/18 = 4 m/s.
Hence the average speed of the person is 4 m/s.
Example 5: Determine the mass of an object having a kinetic energy of 100J and a velocity of 5 m/s.
Solution:
We know, KE = ½ mv2.
100 = ½ x m x 5 x 5.
100 = 25 m/2
m = (100 × 2)/25
m = 8 kg
