The box has 3 forces acting on it:
• its own weight (magnitude <em>w</em>, pointing downward)
• the normal force of the incline on the box (mag. <em>n</em>, pointing upward perpendicular to the incline)
• friction (mag. <em>f</em>, opposing the box's slide down the incline and parallel to the incline)
Decompose each force into components acting parallel or perpendicular to the incline. (Consult the attached free body diagram.) The normal and friction forces are ready to be used, so that just leaves the weight. If we take the direction in which the box is sliding to be the positive parallel direction, then by Newton's second law, we have
• net parallel force:
∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> + <em>w</em> sin(35°) = <em>m a</em>
• net perpendicular force:
∑<em> F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> cos(35°) = 0
Solve the net perpendicular force equation for the normal force:
<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> cos(35°)
<em>n</em> = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(35°)
<em>n</em> ≈ 120 N
Solve for the mag. of friction:
<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em>
<em>f</em> = 0.25 (120 N)
<em>f</em> ≈ 30 N
Solve the net parallel force equation for the acceleration:
-30 N + (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) sin(35°) = (15 kg) <em>a</em>
<em>a</em> ≈ (54.3157 N) / (15 kg)
<em>a</em> ≈ 3.6 m/s²
Now solve for the block's speed <em>v</em> given that it starts at rest, with <em>v</em>₀ = 0, and slides down the incline a distance of ∆<em>x</em> = 3 m:
<em>v</em>² - <em>v</em>₀² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>
<em>v</em>² = 2 (3.6 m/s²) (3 m)
<em>v</em> = √(21.7263 m²/s²)
<em>v</em> ≈ 4.7 m/s
The spring constant is 181.0 N/m
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by applying the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the elastic potential energy initially stored in the compressed spring is completely converted into gravitational potential energy of the dart when the dart is at its maximum height. Therefore, we can write:
where the term on the left represents the elastic potential energy of the spring while the term on the right is the gravitational potential energy of the dart at maximum height, and where
k is the spring constant of the spring
x = 2.08 cm = 0.0208 m is the compression of the spring
m = 12.3 g = 0.00123 kg is the mass of the dart
is the acceleration due to gravity
h = 3.25 m is the maximum height of the dart
Solving for k, we find:
