Answer:
Explanation:
Change in length of spring = 2.13 m
Component of weight acting on spring = mg sinθ
so
mg sinθ = k x where k is spring constant and x is total stretch due to force on the spring.
Here x = 2.13
mg sin17 = k x 2.13
31 x 9.8 sin17 = k x 2.13
k = 41.7 N/m
b ) In case surface had friction , spring would have stretched by less distance .
It is so because , the work done by gravity in stretching down is stored as potential energy in spring . In case of dissipative force like friction , it also takes up some energy in the form of heat etc so spring stretches less.
3.4814815 (or 3 13/27) m/s
speed = distance/time
3.4814815 (or 3 13/27) = 94/27
I observe two phenomena:
Obs-1: I don't have the materials here to perform this experiment.
Obs-2: You have not done the assigned experiment, and you apparently have no intention of doing it.
Acceleration is found if we have the force and mass.
With the following equation: F = ma, we can find the missing values.
F = 25n
M = 0.5 kg
a = ?
a = f/m
a = 25/0.5
a = 50
a = 50 m/s
So, the acceleration is 50 m/s^2
