A block sliding on a horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring with spring constant k=432 Nm ; the other

end of the spring is fixed in place. The block has a kinetic energy of 20.7 J as it passes through the spring's equilibrium position. As the block slides, a frictional force of magnitude 24 N acts on it. (a) How far will the block slide from the equilibrium position before coming momentarily to rest? (b) What will be the kinetic energy of the block as it slides back through the equilibrium position?

Answer:

a)

0.26 m

b)

8.2 J

Explanation:

a)

Consider the motion of the block between equilibrium point and the point where it comes to a stop

KE_{o} = initial Kinetic energy of the block at equilibrium position = 20.7 J

k = spring constant of the spring = 432 Nm⁻¹

f = frictional force acting on the block = 24 N

x = stretch in the spring caused before it stops

Using conservation of energy at initial equilibrium point and stopping point

Kinetic energy at equilibrium position = Spring energy at the stopping point + magnitude of work done by frictional force

KE_{o} = (0.5)kx^{2} + fx

inserting the values

20.7 = (0.5)(432)x^{2} + (24)x

(216)x^{2} + (24)x - 20.7 = 0

x = 0.26 m

b)

Consider the motion of the block between equilibrium point and the same point when it returns

KE_{o} = initial Kinetic energy of the block at equilibrium position = 20.7 J

KE_{o} = final Kinetic energy of the block at equilibrium position while returning

f = frictional force acting on the block = 24 N

d = distance traveled by the block = x + x =  2x

Using conservation of energy at initial equilibrium point and stopping point

Kinetic energy at equilibrium position = Kinetic energy at equilibrium while returning + magnitude of work done by frictional force

KE_{o} = KE_{o} + 2 fx

inserting the values

20.7 = KE_{o} + 2 (24)(0.26)

20.7 = KE_{o} + 12.5

KE_{o} = 8.2 J

An undamped 1.48 kg horizontal spring oscillator has a spring constant of 35.4 N/m. While oscillating, it is found to have a spe
givi [52]

Answer: 0.798 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the spring oscillator, m = 1.48 kg

Force constant of the spring, k = 35.4 N/m

Speed of oscillation, v = 3.9 m/s

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv²

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * 1.48 * 3.9²

KE = 0.5 * 22.5108

KE = 11.26 J

Using the law of conservation of Energy. The Potential Energy of the system is equal to Kinetic Energy of the system

KE = PE

PE = 1/2kx²

11.26 = 1/2 * 35.4 * x²

11.26 = 17.7x²

x² = 11.26 / 17.7

x² = 0.6362

x = √0.6362

x = 0.798 m

Name two units for measuring the diameter of nucleus atom.
Evgesh-ka [11]

The two units for measuring the diameter of nucleus atom are femtometre and metre.

How do you measure the size of the nucleus ?

Nucleus size is expressed in fermi, often known as femtometers. between a lighter and a heavier nucleus. Despite its modest size, the nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass. The weight or mass of the atom's nucleus and neutrons are determined by neutrons.

femtometre (fm), which equals 10^{-15} metre.

A nucleus' diameter largely depends as to how many particles it contains, from about 4 fm for a light nucleus like carbon to 15 fm for a heavy nucleus as lead.
