A box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the

spring and compresses it, eventually coming to rest for an instant before bouncing back the way it came. the work done by the spring on the box as the spring compresses is:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.

The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
W=-\Delta U =  \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 -  \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so x_i=0. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until x_f is
W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.

What is the answer?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

6.26 m/s

Explanation:

Pretty slow.... the PE (Potential Energy) at 2m will be converted to KE (Kinetic Energy) at the bottom of the track (neglecting friction)

PE    =   KE

mgh = 1/2 mv^2     divide both sides of the equation by 'm'

gh    = 1/2 v^2             multiply both sides by 2

2 gh = v^2               take sqrt of both sides

v = sqrt ( 2gh) = sqrt ( 2*9.81*2) = 6.26 m/s

A cold front moves through and the temperature drops by 20 degrees. in which temperature scale would this 20 degree change repre
nalin [4]
In the Celsius scale each degree is one part of 100 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between boiling and freezing temperatures of water is 100 ° - 0 ° = 100 °, so one degree Celsius is one part of 100.

In the Farenheit scale, each degree is one part of 180 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between the boiling and freezind temperatures are 212 ° - 32 ° = 180°, so one degree Farenheti is one part of 180.

That means that 1 °C is a larger amount than 1 °C, so 20°C is a larger amount than 20°F.

Conclusion: 20 degree change represents a larger change in Celsius scale.
