Suppose the block is released from rest with the spring compressed 5.00 cm. The mass of the block is 1.70 kg and the force const

ant of the spring is 955 N/m. What is the speed of the block when the spring expands to a compression of only 2.50 cm?

First, let's calculate the total mechanical energy when the block is at rest and the spring is compressed 5 cm:

\begin{gathered} ME=PE+KE\\ \\ ME=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}\\ \\ ME=\frac{955\cdot0.05^2}{2}+0\\ \\ ME=1.194\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Now, let's use this total energy to calculate the velocity when the spring is compressed by 2.5 cm:

\begin{gathered} ME=PE+KE\\ \\ 1.194=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}\\ \\ 2.388=955\cdot0.025^2+1.7v^2\\ \\ 1.7v^2=2.388-0.597\\ \\ 1.7v^2=1.791\\ \\ v^2=\frac{1.791}{1.7}\\ \\ v^2=1.0535\\ \\ v=1.026\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Therefore the speed is 1.026 m/s.

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and \theta is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where y=vertical\ distance

a=acceleration

t=time

v=initial\ velocity

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

y=v\sin \theta -0.5g

In absence of gravity

y_2=v\sin \theta \times t

y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1

\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m

How do you know that forces are balanced when static friction acts on an object?
lyudmila [28]
By looking at the acceleration of the object.
In fact, Netwon's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass m of the object and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma

So, when static friction is acting on the object, if the object is still not moving we know that all the forces are balanced: in fact, since the object is stationary, its acceleration is zero, and so the resultant of the forces (left term in the formula) must be zero as well (i.e. the forces are balanced).
