\nAn avalanche occurs when a mass of snow slides down a steep mountain slope. Discuss the energy conversions responsible for water vapor rising to form clouds, falling as snow on a mountain, and then sliding down a slope as an avalanche.
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nAs water vapor rises, there is an increase in the gravitational potential energy of the system. Part of this potential energy is released as snow and falls onto the mountain. If an avalanche occurs, the snow on the mountain accelerates down the slope, converting more gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy.<\/p>\n

Chapter 8 Potential Energy And Conservation Of Energy Q.4CQ<\/strong>
\nWhen a mass is placed on top of a vertical spring, the spring compresses and the mass moves downward. Analyze this system in terms of its mechanical energy.
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\n\"Mastering<\/p>\n

The initial mechanical energy of the system is the gravitational potential energy of the mass-Earth system. As the mass moves downward, the gravitational potential energy of the system decreases.
\nAt the same time, the potential energy of the spring increases because it is compressed. Initially, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is greater than the increase in the spring\u2019s potential energy, which means that the mass gains kinetic energy. Eventually, the increase in the spring\u2019s energy equals the decrease in the gravitational energy, and the mass comes to rest.<\/p>\n

\nIf a spring is stretched so far that it is permanently deformed, its force is no longer conservative. Why?
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\n\"Mastering<\/p>\n

We know that the external force must be equal to the restoring force, and its direction is opposite to the direction of the restoring force. If the external force is greater than the restoring force, then the spring gets permanently deformed. In this situation, the work that was done to stretch the spring is not fully recovered. Some of the work is converted into the energy of the deformation. For this reason, the spring force is not conservative during deformation.<\/p>\n

\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen the object is first thrown upward, its speed and its kinetic energy are at a maximum. Its potential energy is zero at that moment.
\n\"Mastering
\n(i) The potential energy of the system is at a maximum at the highest point of the object\u2019s flight and is at a minimum at the starting point of its journey (when it has just been released).
\n(ii) The kinetic energy of the system is at maximum when the object has just been thrown up and is at a minimum when it reaches its highest point of flight.<\/p>\n

\nIt is a law of nature that the total energy of the universe is conserved. What do politicians mean, then, when they urge \u201cenergy conservation\u201d?
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen the term \u201cenergy conservation\u201d is used in everyday language, it doesn\u2019t refer to the total amount of energy in the universe. Instead it refers to using energy wisely, especially when a particular source of energy like oil or natural gas is finite and non-renewable.<\/p>\n

\nPredict\/Explain Ball 1 is thrown to the ground with an initial downward speed; ball 2 is dropped to the ground from rest. Assuming the balls have the same mass and are released from the same height, is the change in gravitational potential energy of ball 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of ball 2? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
\nI. Ball 1 has the greater total energy, and therefore more energy can go into gravitational potential energy.
\nII. The gravitational potential energy depends only on the mass of the ball and the drop height.
\nIII. All of the initial energy of ball 2 is gravitational potential energy.
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\n(a) The change in gravitational potential energy of the ball 1 is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the ball 2.
\n(b) This is because the change in gravitational potential energy depends only on the mass of the ball and the height from which the ball is dropped. Therefore option II is the best explanation.<\/p>\n

\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe have a photograph which shows an earthmover digging the earth and lifting it and loading it on the truck. In this situation, there are both conservative and non-conservative works involved.
\nInitially, the engine of the earthmover does positive, non-conservative work as it digs out and lifts a load of rocks. At the same time, gravity does negative, conservative work on the rocks as the gravitational potential energy of the system increases. As the rock is transported to the truck, the earthmover does positive, non-conservative work. When the rocks are released, gravity does positive, conservative work as the gravitational potential energy of the system is converted into kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of the rocks is converted into sound and heat when they are loaded into the truck.
\nAs the truck is loaded, the spring is compressed. The potential energy is stored in the form of the spring\u2019s potential energy, and the work done by the truck is conservative.<\/p>\n

\nThe toy frog consists of a suction cup and a spring. When the suction cup is pressed, the energy of the toy is stored in the form of the spring as potential energy. When the suction cup lets go, then all its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. As a result, the frog leaps into the air. The total energy of the system is conserved.<\/p>\n

\nIf the force on an object is zero, does that mean the potential energy of the system is zero? If the potential energy of a system is zero, is the force zero?
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nNo
\nZero force implies a zero rate of change in the potential energy. However, the value of the potential energy can be anything at all. Similarly, if the potential energy is zero, it does not mean that the force is zero. Again, what matters is the rate of change of the potential energy.<\/p>\n

Chapter 8 Potential Energy And Conservation Of Energy Q.13CQ<\/strong>
\nWhen a ball is thrown upward, it spends the same amount of time on the way up as on the way down\u2014as long as air resistance can be ignored. If air resistance is taken into account, is the time on the way down the same as, greater than, or less than the time on the way up? Explain.
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nIf the air resistance is taken into account, then the total mechanical energy of the system decreases. The distance covered by the ball is the same on the way down as it is on the way up, and so the amount of time will be determined by the average speed of the ball on the two portions of its trip. Note that air resistance does negative, non-conservative work continuously on the ball as it moves. Therefore, its total mechanical energy is less on the way down than it is on the way up, which means that its speed at any given elevation is less on the way down. It follows that more time is required for the downward portion of the trip.<\/p>\n

\nPredict\/Explain You throw a ball upward and let it fall to the ground. Your friend drops an identical ball straight down to the ground from the same height. Is the change in kinetic energy of your ball greater than, less than, or equal to the change in kinetic energy of your friend\u2019s ball? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
\nI. Your friend\u2019s ball converts all its initial energy into kinetic energy.
\nII. Your ball is in the air longer, which results in a greater change in kinetic energy.
\nIII. The change in gravitational potential energy is the same for each ball, which means the change in kinetic energy must be the same also.
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\n(a) The Change in kinetic energy of your ball is equal to the change in kinetic energy of your friend\u2019s ball.
\n(b) As both of you are at the same height, so when the balls come to the ground both balls lose same amount of potential energy. Therefore change in potential energy of the two balls is same. Then from conservation of energy the change in kinetic energy is also same.
\nSo, option III is the best explanation.<\/p>\n

\nSuppose the situation described in Conceptual Checkpoint 8-2 is repeated on the fictional planet Epsilon, where the acceleration due to gravity is less than it is on the Earth. (a) Would the height of a hill on Epsilon that causes a reduction in speed from 4 m\/s to 0 be greater than, less than, or equal to the height of the corresponding hill on Earth? Explain. (b) Consider the hill on Epsilon discussed in part (a). If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m\/s, will the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than, less than, or equal to 3 m\/s? Explain.
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nSolution:
\n(a) As we are considering on a planet Epsilon where the acceleration due to gravity is less than that on the earth and as the gravitational potential energy is mgh so larger height would be needed to gain the same level of gravitational potential energy. Thus, a higher hill would be needed.
\n(b) The initial speed at the bottom of the Epsilon is 5m\/s which are the same on the earth. Since the values of the initial kinetic energy & final potential energies are the same on the Epsilon.
\nSo therefore the final speed at the top of the hill on Epsilon is the same which is 3m\/s<\/p>\n

Explain.
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nSolution:
\n(a) The gravitational potential energy of the earth-bike-rider system should decrease.
\nSince the position of the biker could eventually drop to ground level height, the potential energy of the system could go down to zero.
\n(b) Since the speed is constant throughout the entire time. The kinetic energy of you & your bike remains the same
\n(c) The mechanical energy of the system decrease. Since the total mechanical energy is equal to the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. As the potential energy decreases & kinetic energy remains the same. So therefore the mechanical energy of the system decreases.<\/p>\n

\nThe above figure shows that, the object is at rest at initial point A. As the object moves from A to B, some of its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, and the speed of the object increases at B. So the kinetic energy of the object increases when potential energy decreases.
\nNow the object moves from point B to point C. In this process, some of its kinetic energy is again converted into potential energy, thus, the speed of the object decreases as it moves from B to C. The object\u2019s speed again increases as it moves from point C to point D, so its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.
\nFinally from point D to point E, the kinetic energy of the object decreases as curve rises. Thus, the speed of the object decreases. Therefore, at point E, the speed of the object momentarily becomes zero.<\/p>\n

\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nSolution:
\n(a) Since there is no conservative work with this system (the friction from mass 1) the mechanical energy of the system will change. Specifically, the mechanical energy of the system will decrease due to energy being converted into heat by the friction forces.
\n(b) The tension in the rope deals with the weight of the block that’s dropping down. The non conservative force comes from the friction of the block on the table. The tension in the rope simply deals with mass and gravitational acceleration thus, the tension in the rope is involved in potential\/kinetic energy relations, and the amount of non conservative work it does is zero.<\/p>\n

\nThe Flight of the Dragonflies
\nOf all the animals you\u2019re likely to see on a summer\u2019s day, the most ancient is the dragonfly. In fact, the fossil record for dragonflies extends back over 250 million years, more than twice as long as for birds. Ancient dragonflies could be as large as a hawk, and were surely buzzing around the heads of both T. Rex and Triceratops.
\nDragonflies belong to the order Odonata (\u201ctoothed jaws\u201d) and the suborder Anisoptera (\u201cdifferent wings\u201d), a reference to the fact that their hindwings are wider front-to-back than their forewings. (Damselflies, in contrast, have forewings and hind-wings that are the same.) Although ancient in their lineage, dragonflies are the fastest flying and most acrobatic of all insects; some of their maneuvers subject them to accelerations as great as 20g.
\nThe properties of dragonfly wings, and how they account for such speed and mobility, have been of great interest to biologists. Figure shows an experimental setup designed to measure the force constant of Plexiglas models of wings, which are used in wind tunnel tests. A downward force is applied to the model wing at the tip (1 for hindwing, 2 for forewing) or at two-thirds the distance to the tip (3 for hindwing, 4 for forewing). As the force is varied in magnitude, the resulting deflection of the wing is measured. The results are shown in Figure. Notice that significant differences are seen between the hindwings and forewings, as one might expect from their different shapes.

A downward force is applied to the model wing at the tip (1 for hindwing, 2 for forewing) or at two-thirds the distance to the tip (3 for hindwing, 4 for forewing). As the force is varied in magnitude, the resulting deflection of the wing is measured. The results are shown in Figure. Notice that significant differences are seen between the hindwings and forewings, as one might expect from their different shapes.

\nThe Flight of the Dragonflies
\nOf all the animals you\u2019re likely to see on a summer\u2019s day, the most ancient is the dragonfly. In fact, the fossil record for dragonflies extends back over 250 million years, more than twice as long as for birds. Ancient dragonflies could be as large as a hawk, and were surely buzzing around the heads of both T. Rex and Triceratops.
\nDragonflies belong to the order Odonata (\u201ctoothed jaws\u201d) and the suborder Anisoptera (\u201cdifferent wings\u201d), a reference to the fact that their hindwings are wider front-to-back than their forewings. (Damselflies, in contrast, have forewings and hind-wings that are the same.) Although ancient in their lineage, dragonflies are the fastest flying and most acrobatic of all insects; some of their maneuvers subject them to accelerations as great as 20g.

Solution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nFrom the graph it is clear that by the application of same force the deflection of wing is more for hindwing than the forewing.
\nTherefore force constant of forewing is greater than the force constant of hindwing.
\nSo forewing is stiffer than the hindwing.
\nTherefore option B. is correct.<\/p>\n
