Answer:
The constant quantity of the cart is its mass m
Explanation:
When the fan of the cart rotates with an increased velocity the force on the cart increases which causes the cart to accelerate. Force and acceleration are variables in this case. Force on the cart is given by the equation
Where m is the mass of the cart and a is acceleration.
In this example, the force is exerted on the cart due to the rotation of the fan. Acceleration is produced due to this force. Thus acceleration is proportional to force.
mass is given by
So the mass of the cart remains constant.

Answer:
a) = 928 J
, b)U = -62.7 J
, c) K = 0
, d) Y = 11.0367 m, e) v = 15.23 m / s
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we will use the concepts of mechanical energy.
a) The elastic potential energy is
= ½ k x²
= ½ 2900 0.80²
= 928 J
b) place the origin at the point of the uncompressed spring, the spider's potential energy
U = m h and
U = 8 9.8 (-0.80)
U = -62.7 J
c) Before releasing the spring the spider is still, so its true speed and therefore the kinetic energy also
K = ½ m v²
K = 0
d) write the energy at two points, maximum compression and maximum height
Em₀ = ke = ½ m x²
= mg y
Emo =
½ k x² = m g y
y = ½ k x² / m g
y = ½ 2900 0.8² / (8 9.8)
y = 11.8367 m
As zero was placed for the spring without stretching the height from that reference is
Y = y- 0.80
Y = 11.8367 -0.80
Y = 11.0367 m
Bonus
Energy for maximum compression and uncompressed spring
Emo = ½ k x² = 928 J
= ½ m v²
Emo =
Emo = ½ m v²
v =√ 2Emo / m
v = √ (2 928/8)
v = 15.23 m / s
