QUESTION 2
Problem
A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression:
a
Fnew=x
+ Be* + 3x4
where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole.
Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x, to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity,
consider that no energy is lost in the process)
Solution
To determine the work done we apply the following
W =
dx
Evaluating the above, we get
W =
for the limits from x; to Xf
substituting x1 and x, as the limits, the work done is expressed as
W =
Bi
X1
( x15 - x2)

- In a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data are measured for four trials using two blocks. The blocks have identical masses but different coefficients of kinetic friction with a table: k = 0.2 and 0.8. Each block is launched with speed vi = 1 m/s and slides across the level table as the block comes to rest. This process represents the first two trials. For the next two trials, the procedure is repeated but the blocks are launched with speed vi = 2 m/s. Rank the four trials (a) through (d) according to the stopping distance from largest to smallest. If the stopping distance is the same in two cases, give them equal rank. (a) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.2 (b) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.8 (c) vi = 2 m/s, k = 0.2 (d) vi = 2 m/s, k = 0.8arrow_forwardA loop-the-loop section of a track is set up in a General Physics laboratory.
