One end of a horizontal spring with force constant 130.0 N/m is attached to a vertical wall. A 3.00 kg block sitting on the floo

r is placed against the spring. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is μk = 0.400. You apply a constant force F⃗ to the block. F⃗ has magnitude 88.0 N and is directed 3 toward the wall. The spring is compressed 80.0 cm. (a) What is the speed of the block? (b) What is the magnitude of the block’s acceleration? (c) What is the direction of the block’s acceleration?

Answer:

a) v = 0

b) The aceleration is 1.41 m/s^{2}

c) The block is accelerating away from the wall.

Explanation:

First, you need to think about the effect this constant force is causing in the spring: it causes a displacement in the equilibrium point of the system, therefore we need to know where it sits now:

At equilibrium no movement is present reducing friction to 0:

\sum{F} = 0 = F_{spring} - F_{external}

F_{spring} = F_{external}

Kx = F_{external}

x = \frac{F_{external}}{K}=\frac{88}{130}=0.68m=68cm

This means that the spring can be compressed with the single force up to 68 cm, Any further compression will cause an unbalanced system and the occilation of the mass.

The spring can't be compressed by the given force to 80 cm, therefore it must have been compressed by another force and then released.

In this case, the instantanous speed is 0, since the block has just been released.

In the same instant we can stimate the free body diagram of forces by the next two equations:

\sum_y{F}={F_N-W}=0\\\sum_x{F}={F_{spring}-F_{external}-F_{friction}}=ma

For the y axis:

F_N = W = mg = 3*9.8 = 29.4N

To calculate the force of friction:

F_{friction} = \mu_k F_N=0.4*29.4 = 11.76N

Therefore for x axis:

{Kx-F_{external}-F_{friction}}=ma

a = \frac{130*0.8-88-11.76}{3} = \frac{104-88-11.76}{3}=\frac{4.24}{3}=1.41\frac{m}{s^2}

Can anyone help me? (physics)
Masja [62]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the golf is 15.7 m/s.

The direction of the golf is 57°.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time of flight (T) = 2.7 secs

Range (R) = 23 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =.?

Direction (θ) =.?

T = 2U Sine θ /g

2.7 = 2 × U × Sine θ /9.8

Cross multiply

2.7 × 9.8 = 2 × U × Sine θ

26.46 = 2 × U × Sine θ

Divide both side by 2 × Sine θ

U = 26.46 /2 Sine θ

U = 13.23 / Sine θ ... (1)

R = U² Sine 2θ /g

23 = U² Sine 2θ / 9.8

U = 13.23 / Sine θ

23 = (13.23/ Sine θ)² Sine 2θ / 9.8

23 = (175.0329 / Sine² θ) × Sine 2θ / 9.8

23 = 17.8605/Sine² θ × Sine 2θ

Recall:

Sine 2θ = 2SineθCosθ

23 = 17.8605/ Sine² θ × 2SineθCosθ

23 = 17.8605/ Sine θ × 2Cosθ

23 = 35.721 Cos θ /Sine θ

Cross multiply

23 × Sine θ = 35.721 Cos θ

Divide both side by 23

Sine θ = 35.721 Cos θ /23

Sine θ = 1.5531 × Cos θ

Divide both side by Cos θ

Sine θ /Cos θ = 1.5531

Recall:

Sine θ /Cos θ = Tan θ

Sine θ /Cos θ = 1.5531

Tan θ = 1.5531

Take the inverse of Tan

θ = Tan¯¹ (1.5531)

θ = 57°

Therefore, the direction of the golf is 57°

Thus, the initial velocity can be obtained as follow:

U = 13.23 / Sine θ

θ = 57°

U = 13.23 / Sine 57

U = 13.23/0.8387

U = 15.7 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the golf is 15.7 m/s

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 2.15 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance d = 0.0895 m fr
Igoryamba

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.15 kg

Distance = 0.0895 m

Amplitude = 0.0235 m

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using newton's second law

F= mg

Where, f = restoring force

kx=mg

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{2.15\times9.8}{0.0895}

k=235.41\ N/m

We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the mass

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Here, v = A\omega

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m\times(A\omega)^2

Here, \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}^2

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m\times A^2\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}^2

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times235.41\times(0.0235)^2

K.E=0.06500\ J

Hence, The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.

In an elastic head-on collision, a 0.60 kg cart moving at 5.0 m/s [W] collides with a 0.80 kg cart moving at 2.0 m/s [E]. The co
labwork [276]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity. Given that:

m_1=0.6kg,u_1=-5m/s(moving \ west),m_2=0.8kg,u_2=2m/s,k=1200N/m

a)

The final velocity of cart 1 after collision is given as:

v_1=(\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2})u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\  Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.6-0.8}{0.6+0.8} (-5)+\frac{2*0.8}{0.6+0.8}(2)= 5/7+16/7=3\ m/s

The final velocity of cart 2 after collision is given as:

v_2=(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})u_2+\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1\\  Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.8-0.6}{0.6+0.8} (2)+\frac{2*0.6}{0.6+0.8}(-5)= 2/7-30/7=-4\ m/s

b) Using the law of conservation of energy:

\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1+ \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\x=\sqrt{\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{k}}\\ Substituting\ gives:\\x=\sqrt{\frac{0.6*(-5)^2+0.8*2^2-(0.6*3^2)-(0.8*(-4)^2)}{1200}}=\sqrt{0}=0\ cm
