A block of ice of mass 4.30 kg is placed against a horizontal spring that has a force constant k = 250 N/m and is compressed a d

istance 2.80 × 10⁻² m. The spring is released and accelerates the block along a horizontal surface. You can ignore friction and the mass of the spring.
Calculate the work done on the block by the spring during the motion of the block from its initial position to where the spring has returned to its uncompressed length. What is the speed of the block after it leaves the spring?

Answer:

W = 0.060 J

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

Explanation:

solution:

for the spring:

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 - 1/2*k*x_2^2

x_1 = -0.025 m and x_2 = 0

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 = 1/2*(250 N/m)(-0.028m)^2

W = 0.060 J

the work-energy theorem,

W_tot = K_2 - K_1 = ΔK

with K = 1/2*m*v^2

v_2 = √2*W/m

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

Answer:

(1) Sure, the frequency is 1000 Hz.

Explanation:

Frequency = wave speed ÷ wave distance

wave speed = 100 m/s

wave distance = 10 cm = 10/100 = 0.1 m

Frequency = 100 ÷ 0.1 = 1000 Hz

a child is swinging on swing, describe what happens to both the kinectic energy and potential enegry of the child as she swings
Igoryamba

Answer:

The K.E is maximum when the child is at the vertical position and the P.E is maximum at the extreme deviated position from the vertical.

Explanation:

  • A child is swinging on swing up and down has both kinetic and potential energy.
  • The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved throughout the system. At any instant the total mechanical energy is given by,

                                      E = K.E + P.E

  • The K.E is maximum when the child is at the vertical position.
  • The P.E is maximum at the extreme deviated position from the vertical.
  • And when K.E is maximum P.E becomes minimum and vice versa as per the law of conservation of energy.
