Object A has 25 J of kinetic energy. Object B has one-quarter the mass of object A.By what factor does the speed of each object change if total work -20 J is done on each?

Answer :

Answer:

The speed of object B is 2 times of speed of object A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Kinetic energy of object A = 25 J

Mass of object B [tex]m_{B}=\dfrac{1}{4}m_{A}[/tex]

Work done = -20 J

We need to calculate the factor of the speed of the object

Suppose the final kinetic energy is same for both object.

[tex]K.E_{f_{A}}=K.E_{f_{B}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}m_{A}v_{A}^2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{B}v_{B}^2[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}m_{A}\times v_{A}^2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{4}m_{A}\times v_{B}^2[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]v_{A}=\dfrac{1}{2}v_{B}[/tex]

[tex]v_{B}=2v_{A}[/tex]

Hence, The speed of object B is 2 times of speed of object A.

The factor at which the speed of each object change if the total work is -20 J is done on each is [tex]\mathbf{V_A' = 0.45 \ V_A }[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{V_B' = 0.45 \ V_B }[/tex]

Kinetic energy is an energy that is said to be in motion. This occurs by the work required to move a mass of an object from a state of rest to a specified

velocity.

From the given information:

Let consider the mass of B to be [tex]\mathbf{m_B = \dfrac{m_A}{4}}[/tex]

The kinetic energy of object A = kinetic energy of object B.

[tex]\mathbf{E_{KA}=E_{KB}}[/tex] = 25 J

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2}m_AV_A^2 =\dfrac{1}{2}m_BV_B^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{V_B}{V_A} = (\dfrac{m_A}{m_B})^{1/2} }[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]\mathbf{m_B = \dfrac{m_A}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{V_B}{V_A} = 2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{V_B = 2V_A}[/tex]

It implies that object B is twice as faster than object A

However, suppose the kinetic energy of A after an amount of work done

W = -20 J

It implies that [tex]\mathbf{E_{KA}' - E_{KA} = W}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{E_{KA}' = W+E_{KA}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{E_{KA}' = -20+25}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{E_{KA}' =5 \ J}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{E_{KA}' =E_{KB}' = 5 \ J}[/tex]

The factor by which the speed(V) of each object changes can be computed as:

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{E_{KA}' }{ E_{kA}} = \dfrac{5}{25}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}m_A V_A^2' }{ \dfrac{1}{2}mV_A^2} = \dfrac{1}{5}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{V_A' = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}V_A}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{V_A' = 0.45 \ V_A }[/tex]

Similarly; [tex]\mathbf{V_B' = 0.45 \ V_B }[/tex]
