The sleds speed when the spring returns toits uncompressed length is v = 0.03 m/s.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given,
force constant = 42 N/cm = 0.42 N/m, mass m = 68 kg, spring x = 0.39 m
The potential energy, U, stored in the spring is
U = 1/2 kx^2
= 1 / 2 0.42
(0.39)^2
= 0.032 J
All its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy since it has a uncompressed length.
K = 1/2 mv^2
v = sqrt (2K / m)
= √(( 2 0.032) / 68)
v = 0.03 m/s .
In this case, you need the formula below where:
F = force
k = coulombs constant 8.99 x10^{9} N.m^{2} . C^{-2}
q1 = electric charge 1
q2 = electric charge 2
r = the distance between the charges
pls note: make sure your units are correct (in meters etc, not fm (<em>femto-meters</em>)).
Curiously, this question doesn't tell you what atom you are next to the nucleus of. Different numbers of protons in the nucleus of the atom will make for vastly different forces in your answer...
