A light spring with a force coefficient 11.85 N/m is compressed by 14 cm as it is held between a 0.27 kg block on the left and a

0.6 kg block on the right, both resting on a horizontal surface. The spring exerts a force on each of the blocks, tending to push them apart. The blocks are then released from rest.Find the acceleration of each block if the coefficient of friction between the blocks and the surface is:

Answer:

A) Left = 6.14 m/s2 Right=2.765 m/s2   B) Left = 4.59 m/s2 Right= 1.215 m/s2

Explanation:

In the question we are given the spring constant which is 11.85 N/m and the compression of the spring is 14 cm. There are two blocks in front of the springs which are 0.27 kg and 0.6 kg respectively.

First, we need to calculate how much force the spring are going to exert on the masses when they are released. Since this force is not going to change for both cases, we only need to do it once.

The formula for calculation the force is F = k.x where k is the spring constant or force coefficient 11.85 N/m and the x is the compression which is 14 cm or 0.14 meters. If we put them in the equation we can find that F = 1.659 N

A) In the first case scenario, where the friction is equal to 0, we can use the formula F=m.a where F is the force applied by the release of the spring, m is the mass of the block and a is the acceleration.

For the first block, when we put 1.659 N and 0.27kg in the equation, a is calculated to be 6.14 m/s2.

For the second block, the same force of 1.659 N and 0.6 kg, a is calculated to be 2.765 m/s2.

B) In the second case scenario, where the friction is equal to 0.158, we first need to calculate its effect on each block. We need to use the formula      Fk = μ.N where μ is the friction constant and N is the normal force of the block which is m.g (where g = 9,81 m/s2).

The friction force for the first block is calculated to be 0.4184 N and the friction force for the second block is calculated to be 0.9299 N.

The total force for the first block is 1.659 N - 0.4184 N = 1.2405 N.

The total force for the second block is 1.659 N - 0.9299 N = 0.7290 N.

When we insert these numbers into the same equation we used to find the acceleration in the first case scenario, we can calculate the acceleration of the first block as 1.2405 = 0.27 x a  and a = 4.59 m/s2.

When we insert these numbers into the same equation we used to find the acceleration in the first case scenario, we can calculate the acceleration of the second block as 0.7290 = 0.6 x a  and a = 1.215 m/s2.

Claim 2: Molecules speed up when they get energy from other molecules and slow down when they give energy to other molecules.
Energy can’t be destroyed (stated in claim 1) so claim 2 is more than likely to be correct

In boxing, the use of 16-ounce gloves rather than 12-ounce gloves reduces the chance of injury because the force is distributed
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Here we have assumed that increasing the mass of a glove will increase the surface area.

Injury is caused by the application of pressure at a point on the body. The application of pressure takes place via the area of the gloves. Pressure is given by

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

where

F = Force

A = Area to which the force is applied

So, a bigger glove will increase the surface area and reduce the pressure resulting in a lower chance of injury.

Hence, the statement is true.
