A 20-cm-long spring is attached to a wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100 N, the spring stretches to a length of 2

2 cm. The same spring is now suspended from a hook and a 10.2-kg block is attached to the bottom end. How long is the stretched spring in cm? (Do not include unit in answer)

Answer:

the length of stretched spring  in cm is 22

Explanation:

given information:

spring length, x1 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

force, F = 100 N

the length of spring streches, x2 = 22 cm = 0.22 m

According to Hooke's law

F = - kΔx

k = F/*=(x2-x1)

  = 100/(0.22 - 0.20)

  = 5000 N/m

if the spring is now suspended from a hook and a 10.2-kg block is attached to the bottom end

m = 10.2 kg

W = m g

    = 10.2 x 9.8

    = 99.96 N

F = - k Δx

Δx = F / k

     = 99.96 / 5000

     = 0.02

Δx = x2- x1

x2 = Δx + x1

    = 0.20 + 0.02

    = 0.22 m

     = 22 cm

A 2.00 kg block on a horizontal floor is attached to a horizontal spring that is initially compressed 0.0300 m . The spring has
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

v = 0.41 m/s

Explanation:

  • In this case, the change in the mechanical energy, is equal to the work done by the fricition force on the block.
  • At any point, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the elastic potential energy.
  • So, we can write the following general equation, taking the initial and final values of the energies:

       \Delta K + \Delta U = W_{ffr}  (1)

  • Since the block and spring start at rest, the change in the kinetic energy is just the final kinetic energy value, Kf.
  • ⇒ Kf = 1/2*m*vf²  (2)
  • The change in the potential energy, can be written as follows:

       \Delta U = U_{f}  - U_{o}  = \frac{1}{2} * k * (x_{f} ^{2} - x_{0} ^{2} ) (3)

       where k = force constant = 815 N/m

       xf = final displacement of the block = 0.01 m (taking as x=0 the position

      for the spring at equilibrium)

      x₀ = initial displacement of  the block = 0.03 m

  • Regarding the work done by the force of friction, it can be written as follows:

       W_{ffr} = - \mu_{k}* F_{n} * \Delta x  (4)

       where μk = coefficient of kinettic friction, Fn = normal force, and Δx =

       horizontal displacement.

  • Since the surface is horizontal, and no acceleration is present in the vertical direction, the normal force must be equal and opposite to the force due to gravity, Fg:
  • Fn = Fg= m*g (5)
  • Replacing (5) in (4), and (3) and (4) in (1), and rearranging, we get:

        \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = W_{ffr} - \Delta U = W_{ffr} - (U_{f} -U_{o})  (6)

        \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = (- \mu_{k}* m*g* \Delta x)  -\frac{1}{2} * k * (x_{f} ^{2} - x_{0} ^{2} ) (7)

  • Replacing by the values of m, k, g, xf and x₀, in (7) and solving for v, we finally get:

    \frac{1}{2} * 2.00 kg* v^{2}  = (-0.4*2.00 kg*9.8m/s2*0.02m) +( (\frac{1}{2} *815 N/m)* (0.03m)^{2} - (0.01m)^{2}) = -0.1568 J + 0.326 J (8)

  • v =\sqrt{(0.326-0.1568}  =  0.41 m/s  (9)

HELP PLEASE!! GIVING BRAINLIEST!! If you answer this correctly ill answer some of your questions you have posted! (20pts)
anyanavicka [17]

Explanation:

potential energy =360800J

mass(m)=?

height (h)=25m

g=9.8m/s²

we have

potential energy =360800J

mgh=360800J

m×9.8×25=360800

m=360800/(9.8×25)=1472.653061kg
