A mass of 0.40 kg is suspended on a spring which then stretches 10 cm. The mass is then removed and a second mass is placed on t

he spring which stretches the spring and does 20 J of work. How far is the spring stretched as a result of the work done by the second mass?

Answer:

 x' = 1.01 m

Explanation:

given,

mass suspended on the spring, m = 0.40 Kg

stretches to distance, x = 10 cm  = 0. 1 m

now,

we know

m g = k x

where k is spring constant

0.4 x 9.8 = k x 0.1

  k = 39.2 N/m

now, when second mass is attached to the spring work is equal to 20 J

work done by the spring is equal to

W = \dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2

20= \dfrac{1}{2}\times 39.2\times x'^2

 x'² = 1.0204

 x' = 1.01 m

hence, the spring is stretched to 1.01 m from the second mass.

Answer:

During this motion, 0.133 J of heat energy was created

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s calculate the energy of the object in each phase of the motion.

At first, the object has only kinetic energy (KE):

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the object.

v = velocity.

KE = 1/2 · 0.01 kg · (9 m/s)²

KE = 0.405 J

When the object goes up the ramp, it gains some gravitational potential energy (PE). Due to the conservation of energy, the object must convert some of its kinetic energy to obtain potential energy. By calculating the potential energy that the object acquires, we can know the loss of kinetic energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

h = height.

PE = 0.01 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 1.5 m

PE = 0.147 J

The object "gives up" 0.147 J of kinetic energy to be converted into potential energy.

Then, after going up the ramp, the kinetic energy of the object will be:

0.405 J - 0.147 J = 0.258 J

When the object reaches the spring, kinetic energy is used to compress the spring and the object obtains elastic potential energy (EPE). Let´s calculate the EPE obtained by the object:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = compression of the spring

EPE = 1/2 · 100 N/m · (0.05 m)² = 0.125 J

Then, only 0.125 J of kinetic energy was converted into elastic potential energy. The object is at rest at the end of the motion, i.e., the object does not have kinetic energy when it compresses the spring by 5.0 cm. Since energy can´t be lost, the rest of the kinetic energy, that was not used to compress the spring, had to be converted into heat energy:

Heat energy = initial kinetic energy - obtained elastic potential energy

Heat energy = 0.258 J - 0.125 J = 0.133 J

During this motion, 0.133 J of heat energy was created.
