The force F, acting in a constant direction on the 20-kg block, has a magnitude which varies with the position s of the block. Determine how far the block must slide before its velocity becomes 15 m/s. When s = 0 the block is moving to the right at v = 6 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface is mu_k = 0.3.Solution
Net force acting on the block
Fn = 50s1/2 – 0.3*20*9.8
= 50s1/2 – 58.8
acceleration a = F/m = 2.5s1/2 - 2.94
a = dv/dt = dv/ds *ds/dt
= v dv/ds
v dv/ds = 2.5s1/2 - 2.94
v dv = (2.5s1/2 - 2.94) ds
integrating both sides we get
v2/2 = 2.5 s3/2/(3/2) – 2.94 s +C
C is constant apply initial condition
v= 6 when s=0
C = 18
v2 = 3.3 s3/2 – 5.88 s +36
plotting the above function for different values of s we get
s20.7 m
