AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a physics problem involving acceleration and distance when a force is applied to an object with varying mass. The textbook claims that if the mass is doubled and the force is increased fivefold, the distance covered will be 2.5 times the original distance. However, calculations show that the derived distance is actually 2.5 times the original distance only if the initial velocity is assumed to be zero. Participants question whether the assumption of the object being at rest is valid, given that the problem does not explicitly state this condition. The accuracy of the textbook's answer is thus debated based on the initial conditions of the object's motion.

Here's the problem. A force F gives an acceleration to an object of a given mass.

a) If this mass is doubled and five times the force is applied, what is the current acceleration of the object.

b) How will this change the distance covered by this object over a given interval of time?

My textbook gives the answer for part b) as d'=2.5d

However, When I set a time and an initial velocity and work it out, the result doesn't come to 2.5. Am I screwing up or is my textbook wrong?

F=ma
a=\frac{F}{m}
5F=2ma'
a'=\frac{5F}{2m}
a'=\frac{5}{2}*a
Assuming the initial velocity of the mass, u = 0.
d=\frac{1}{2}at^2
d\ '=\frac{1}{2}a't^2
d\ '=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{5}{2}*a*t^2
d\ '=\frac{5}{2}*d
 
Yes, but the problem doesn't state that the object is at rest, so can we just automatically assume that it is?
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
