A block slides with no friction and hits a spring with spring constant k=2000 N/m. The block compresses the spring in a straight

line for a distance 0.15m. The block’s kinetic energy, in J, at that point is 0 J. What was its initial kinetic energy, in Joules?

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to kinetic energy in a spring.

By definition the kinetic energy keeping what is stipulated in the stable Hooke law that

KE_s = \frac{1}{2} kx^2

Where,

K = Spring constant

x = Displacement

Our values are given as,

x = 0.15m

k = 2000N/m

Therefore replacing

KE_s = \frac{1}{2} kx^2

KE_s = \frac{1}{2} (2000)(0.15)^2

KE_s = 22.5J

Therefore the initial kinetic energy is 22.5J

W = ∫ (x from 0.1 to +oo) F dx

= ∫ (x from 0.1 to +oo) A e^(-kx) dx

= A/k x [ - e^(-kx) ](between 0.1 and +oo)

= A/k x [ 0 + e^(-k * 0.1) ]

The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 28.6 kg) being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

P= 454.11 N

Explanation:

Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).

P= (M+m)*a\\a = \frac{P}{28.6 +4.3}\\a = \frac{P}{32.9}

The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:

F = m * a*\mu \\F= 4.3*0.710*\frac{P}{32.9}\\F=3.053*\frac{P}{32.9}

In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:

3.053*\frac{P}{32.9} = 4.3 * g\\\\P = \frac{4.3*9.8*32.9}{3.053} \\P= 454.11 N

The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N
