Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of motion. On the other hand, potential energy is the energy of non-motion.
Hope that helped =)
Hello! Assuming that the only force acting on the mass is 30N...
Fnet = 30N
Fnet = ma (mass x acceleration)
ma = 30N
a = 30N / m
a = 30N / 7kg
a = 4.2857 m/s^2
a = 4 m/s^2
I hope this helps!
Answer:
The vertical distance is ![d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7Bk%7D%20%2A%5Bmg%20%2B%20f%5D)
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the cylinder is m
The kinetic frictional force is f
Generally from the work energy theorem

Here E the the energy of the spring which is increasing and this is mathematically represented as

Here k is the spring constant
P is the potential energy of the cylinder which is mathematically represented as

And
is the workdone by friction which is mathematically represented as

So

=> ![\frac{1}{2} * k * d^2 = d[mg + f ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%2A%20k%20%20%2A%20%20d%5E2%20%3D%20%20d%5Bmg%20%2B%20%20f%20%20%20%20%5D)
=> ![\frac{1}{2} * k * d = [mg + f ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%2A%20k%20%20%2A%20%20d%20%3D%20%20%5Bmg%20%2B%20%20f%20%20%20%20%5D)
=> ![d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7Bk%7D%20%2A%5Bmg%20%2B%20f%5D)
