A cylinder of mass mm is free to slide in a vertical tube. The kinetic friction force between the cylinder and the walls of the

tube has magnitude ff. You attach the upper end of a lightweight vertical spring of force constant kk to the cap at the top of the tube, and attach the lower end of the spring to the top of the cylinder. Initially the cylinder is at rest and the spring is relaxed. You then release the cylinder. What vertical distance will the cylinder descend before it comes momentarily to rest? Express your answer in terms of the variables mmm, fff, and constants ggg, kkk.

Answer:

y = \frac{-f +/- \sqrt{f^{2} +2kmg}}{k}

Explanation:

Let y₀ be the initial position of the cylinder when the spring is attached and y its position when it is momentarily at rest.From work-kinetic energy principles,  The work done by the spring force + work done by friction + work done by gravity = kinetic energy change of the cylinder

work done by the spring force = ¹/₂k(y₀² - y²)

work done by friction = - f(y - y₀)

work done by gravity = mg(y - y₀)

kinetic energy change of the cylinder = ¹/₂m(v₁² - v₀²)

So ¹/₂k(y₀² - y²) - f(y - y₀) + mg(y - y₀) = ¹/₂m(v₁² - v₀²)

Since the cylinder starts at rest, v₀ = 0. Also, when it is momentarily at rest, v₁ = 0

¹/₂k(y₀² - y²) - f(y - y₀) + mg(y - y₀) = ¹/₂m(0² - 0²)

¹/₂k(y₀² - y²) - f(y - y₀) + mg(y - y₀) = 0

¹/₂ky₀² + fy₀ - mgy₀ -¹/₂ky² - fy + mgy = 0

¹/₂ky₀² + fy₀ - mgy₀ = ¹/₂ky² + fy - mgy

Let y₀ = 0, then the left hand side of the equation equals zero. So,

0 = ¹/₂ky² + fy - mgy

¹/₂ky² + fy - mgy = 0

Using the quadratic formula

y = \frac{-f +/- \sqrt{f^{2} - 4 X\frac{k}{2} X -mg}}{2 X \frac{k}{2} }\\ y = \frac{-f +/- \sqrt{f^{2} +2kmg}}{k}

You are retrieving your boat from the water. as a courtesy to others, when should you pull your boat into a launch lane?
OLga [1]
The best way to pull the boat in the launch lane is when the towing vehicle has reached the boat ramp as well as the trailer. It is best to retrieve the boat in this manner for it is more appropriate, convenient and it is a way of showing courtesy towards others because it is a proper manner.

What does this observation tell you about the relationship between the external force applied and the object’s acceleration (the
Dvinal [7]

Explanation:

Newton’s second law of motion is closely related to Newton’s first law of motion. It mathematically states the cause and effect relationship between force and changes in motion. Newton’s second law of motion is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force. Before we can write down Newton’s second law as a simple equation giving the exact relationship of force, mass, and acceleration, we need to sharpen some ideas that have already been mentioned.

First, what do we mean by a change in motion? The answer is that a change in motion is equivalent to a change in velocity. A change in velocity means, by definition, that there is an acceleration. Newton’s first law says that a net external force causes a change in motion; thus, we see that a net external force causes acceleration.

What does the area between the line and the x-axis represent on a velocity vs. time graph?
Finger [1]

Answer:

It has been learned in this lesson that the area bounded by the line and the axes of a velocity-time graph is equal to the displacement of an object during that particular time period. ... Once calculated, this area represents the displacement of the object.
