You are an industrial engineer with a shipping company. As part of the package- handling system, a small box with mass 1.60 kg i

s placed against a light spring that is compressed 0.280 m. The spring has force constant 48.0 N/m . The spring and box are released from rest, and the box travels along a horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction with the box is μk = 0.300. When the box has traveled 0.280 m and the spring has reached its equilibrium length, the box loses contact with the spring. (a) What is the speed of the box at the instant when it leaves the spring? (b) What is the maximum speed of the box during its motion?

Answer:

v = 0.84m/s, v(max)= 0.997m/s

Explanation:

Initial work done by the spring, where c is the compression = 0.28m:

W_s = \frac{1}{2}kc^2

Work lost to friction:

W_f =\mu mg(c-x)

Energy:

E = W_s-W_f=\frac{1}{2}kc^2 -\mu mg(c-x)=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2

(a) Solve for v:

v=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}(c^2-x^2)-2\mu g(c-x)}

(b) Solve \frac{dv}{dx}=0 for x:

\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{\mu g-\frac{k}{m}x}{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}(c^2-x^2)-2\mu g(c-x)}}

\frac{dv}{dx}=0 if:

\mu g-\frac{k}{m}x = 0

x_{max} = \frac{\mu gm}{k}

v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}c^2-2\mu gc+(\mu g)^2\frac{m}{k}}

Answer:

B. 175 N

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Where;

Fnet is the net force

Fapp is the applied force

Fg is the force due to gravitation

In this scenario, we observed that both forces are acting in the same direction.

Therefore:

Net force = 100 N + 75 N

Net force = 175 Newton

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of the rocket = 10 kg

Weight of the Rocket = 100 N

Upward thrust applied by the rocket = 400 N

<u>Net upward force on the rocket:</u>

We are given that gravity pulls the rocket with a force of 100 N

Also, the rocket applied a force of 400N against gravity

Net upward force = Upward thrust - Force applied by gravity

Net upward force = 400 - 100

Net upward force = 300 N

<u>Upward Acceleration of the Rocket:</u>

From newton's second law:

F = ma

<em>replacing the variables</em>

300 = 10 * a

a = 30 m/s²
