A force of 6.7 N acts on a 30 kg body initially at rest. Compute the work done by the force in (a) the first, (b) the second, and (c) the third seconds and (d) the instantaneous power due to the force at the end of the third second.

(a) 0.748 J

(b) 2.245 J

(c) 3.74 J

(d) 4.482 W

Explanation:

(a) Work done  W = Force × distance

W = F×d,

Where d = 1/2(at²)

Therefore,

W =1/2(F×at²) Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, t = time.

But,

a = F/m Equation 2

Where m = mass.

Substitute equation 1 into equation 2

W = 1/2(F²t²/m) Equation 3

Given: F = 6.7 N, t = 1 s, m = 30 kg

Substitute into equation 3

W₁ = 1/2(6.7²×1²/30)

W = 0.748 J.

(b) Similarly,

The work done in the second seconds is

Where t₂ = 2 s

W₂ = 1/2(F²t₂²/m)- W₁

W = 1/2(6.7²×2²/30)-0.748

W = 2.245 J

(c) The work done in the third seconds is

Where t₃ = 3 s

W₃ = 1/2(F²t₃²/m)-(W₂+W₃)

W = 1/2(6.7²×3²/30)-(2.993)

W = 3.74 J.

(d) P = Fv Equation 4

Where v = velocity.

and,

v = at Equation 5

Substitute equation 5 into equation 4

P = Fat Equation 6

Given: F = 6.7 N, a = 6.7/30 = 0.223 m/s², t = 3 s

Substitute into equation 6

P = 6.7×0.223×3

P = 4.482 W.

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
