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.

S A block of mass M is connected to a spring of mass m and oscillates in simple harmonic motion on a frictionless, horizontal tr
Elina [12.6K]

The period of oscillation is T = 2 * pi * sqrt ( ( m2/3 + m1) / k )

<h3>What is period of oscillation?</h3>

This is the time in seconds it takes to complete one oscillation. where an oscillation is a repetitive to and fro motion. period if the inverse of frequency and both are basic when calculation motion in simple harmonic motion.

The period of oscillation is given as T

T = 2 * pi * sqrt ( m / k )

where

m = mass on this case mass of the spring will be inclusive to the mass of the block such that we have:

m1 = mass of the block

m2 = mass pf the spring

k = force constant of the spring

including the two masses to the period gives

T = 2 * pi * sqrt ( ( m2/3 + m1) / k )

Meg walks with a velocity of 0.9 m/s west. She does so while riding on a train that is traveling with a velocity of 2.7 m/s east
Shkiper50 [21]
<span>Velocities are vectors so we can add them!

Let's let +x be East and -x be West.

 -0.9 + 2.7 = 1.8
 
Since our answer is positive that means East so the answer is C.</span>
