A block of mass m = 2.0 kg slides head on into a spring of spring constant k = 260 N/m. When the block stops, it has compressed

the spring by 14 cm. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and floor is 0.42. While the block is in contact with the spring and being brought to rest, what are
(a) the work done by the spring force and
(b) the increase in thermal energy of the block-floor system?
(c) What is the block's speed just as the block reaches the spring? Please show all steps.

Answer:

a) Ws = 2.548 J

b) Wf = 1.153 J

c) v = 1.923 m / s

Explanation:

a) The work done by the spring force  

Ws =  ½ * k * x²

Ws =  ½ * 260 N/m *0.14² m  

Ws =  2.548J

b) The increase in thermal energy can by find using  

Et = Wf

Wf = µ * m *g * x  

Wf = 0.42 * 2.0 kg *9.8 m/s² * 0.14m

Wf = 1.153 J

c) The speed just as the block reaches can by fin using

EK = Ws + Et

Ek = ( 2.548 + 1.153 ) J = 3.7 J

Ek = ½ * m * v²

v² = 2* Ek / m

v = √[2 * 3.7 J / 2.0 kg]

v = 1.923 m / s

A ball is thrown into the air with a vertical velocity of 50 m/s and a horizontal
daser333 [38]

\mathfrak{\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Projectile Motion.

Since, here given that, vertical velocity= 50m/s

we know that u*sin(theta) = vertical velocity

so the time taken to reach the maximum height or the time of Ascent is equal to

T = Usin(theta) ÷ g, here g = 9.8 m/s^2

so we get as,

T = 50/9.8

T = 5.10 seconds

thus the time taken to reach max height is 5.10 seconds.

A 0.l ‑kilogram block is attached to an initially unstretched spring of force constant k = 40 N/m as shown right. The block is d
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The maximum potential energy of the system is 0.2 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

When the spring is stretched, it acquires potential energy. When released, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. If there is no friction nor any dissipative forces, all the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy according to the energy conservation theorem.

The equation of elastic potential energy (EPE) is the following:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretching distance.

The elastic potential energy is maximum when the block has no kinetic energy, just before releasing it.

Then:

EPE = 1/2 · 40 N/m · (0.1 m)²

EPE = 0.2 J

The maximum potential energy of the system is 0.2 J

Distance measurements based on the speed of light; used for objects in space
Vika [28.1K]

Answer : Yes, distance measurements based on the speed of light used for objects in space.

Explanation :  A light year is measurement  of distance  that light travel in a one year.

In a one year light travels 9460000000000 kilometer.

We know that, speed of light is 3\times10^{8}\ m/s

and  time is 31536000 seconds in 1 year

so, distance = speed of light X time

Now, the light year is 9.4608\times10^{15} meter

Example : The nearest star to earth is about 4.3 light year away.
