An object is attached to a hanging unstretched, ideal and massless spring and slowly lowered to its equilibrium position, a dist

ance of 5.3 cm below the starting point. If instead of having been lowered slowly the object was dropped from rest, how far then would it then stretch the spring at maximum elongation (measured from the point it was dropped)?

Answer:

10.6cm

Explanation:

We are given 5.3cm below the starting point (spring extension).

Therefore, to find static vertical equilibrium, we use the equation:

kx = mg

Where:

k = spring constant =

=mg/5.3 kg/s²

We are told the object was dropped from rest.

Therefore:

loss in potential energy = gain in spring p.e

Let's use the expression:

mgx = ½kx²

We are asked to find the stretch at maximum elongation x.

To find x, we make x subject of the formula.

Therefore, we have:

x = 2mg/k (after rearranging the equation above)

x = (2mg) / (mg/5.3)

x = 10.6cm

Mademuasel [1]

The kinetic energy gained by the air molecules is 0.0437 J                

<h3 />

Given:

Mass of a coffee filter, m = 1.5 g

Height from which it is dropped, h = 3 m

Speed at ground, v = 0.7 m/s

Initially, the coffee filter has potential energy. It is given by :

P =mgh

P = 1.5 × 10⁻³ kg × 9.8 m/s² × 3m

P = 0.0441 J

Finally, it will have kinetic energy. It is given by :

E= \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

E= \frac{1}{2}×1.4 × 10⁻³ × (0.7)²

E = 0.000343 J

The  kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is :

E = 0.000343 -  0.0441

  = 0.0437 J

So, the kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is 0.0437 J
