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

bixtya [17]

Answer:42.43m/s

Explanation:According to vf=vi+at, we  can calculate it since v0 equals to 0. vf=0+9.8m/s^2*4.33s= 42.434m/s

A person pulls a bucket of water up from a well with a rope. Assume the initial and final speeds of the bucket are zero (Vi-Vf-0
n200080 [17]

Answer:

a

This a closed system because the mass of the system is conserved

The energy system that undergoes change is the Potential energy system

The energy system diagram is shown on the first uploaded image

b

Work done = Change in gravitational potential energy

So solving algebraically for work done would be

    Work done   = m*g*h

where m is mass

          g is acceleration due to gravity

          and h is the height

c

Work done in terms of force and distance is = mg

where  m is mass of bucket and

            g is acceleration due to gravity  

Explanation:

a) At the start, potential and kinetic energy were zero. so, energy is zero.

As the person pulls the bucket up, the potential energy becomes mgh.

so,final energy will be consisting of only potential energy.

B) Here work done is equal to change in gravitational potential energy.

W = \Delta P.E

W = m*g*h

where g = 9.9 m/s^2

C) Work = force * distance

mgh = force * h

force = mg

force = weight of bucket
