A block of mass m = 0.13 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of k1 = 623 N/m which has been compressed by a distan

ce of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 487 N/m.(A) How far d2, in meters, will the second spring compress when the block runs into it?(B) How fast v, in meters per second, will the block be moving when it strikes the second spring?(C) Now assume friction is present on the surface in between the ends of the springs at their equilibrium lengths, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is ?k = 0.5. If the distance between the springs is x = 1 m, how far d2, in meters, will the second spring now compress?

Answer:

a) 0.11 m

b) 6.9 m/s

c) 0.10 m

Explanation:

We need to apply the conservation of energy theorem:

U_e+K_{o}+U_o=K_f+U_f

because the surface is frictionless all the elastic potential energy is converted in kinetic, so:

\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2+0+0=K_f\\\\K_f=3.1J

the second spring received 3.1J of energy, so:

3.1J=\frac{1}{2}*487N/m*(x_2)^2\\x_2=0.11m

We know the value of the kinetic energy so:

\frac{1}{2}m*(v_2)^2=3.1J\\v_2=\sqrt{\frac{3.1J*2}{0.13kg}}\\v_2=6.9m/s

now if the surface has friction:

3.1J-\µ*m*g*d=K_f\\3.1J-0.63J=K_f\\K_f=2.5J\\\\2.5J=\frac{1}{2}*K*x^2\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2*2.5J}{487}}\\x=0.10m

An object has a kinetic energy of 275 j and the momentum of magnitude of 25.0 kg m/s. find the speed and mass of the object
lyudmila [28]
<span>Recall formula for Kinetic energy is: KE = 1/2mv^2, where KE = 275J and momentum (which is 25.0 kg m/s) = m*v Therefore substitute for KE and mv in the equation above to get speed => 275 = 0.5 * 25 * v v = 275/12.5 v = 22m/s to get mass m, recall momentum = m*v => 25= 22*m m= 25/22 = 1.3663kg</span>

A car travelling at a constant speed of 70km/h passes a stationary police car. The police car immediately goes on the chase acce
Virty [35]

Answer:

18.24 seconds

Explanation:

First you convert the km/h to m/s, 70km/h=(175/9)m/s,85km/h=(425/18)m/s.

You know it took 10 seconds for the police to reach 85 km/h. Calculate the distance that the car is ahead of the police (175/9)*10=1750/9m. Then by divide 1750/9 with 425/18, you will get the value 8.24. Add the 10 seconds with the 8.24 you will get 18.24 sec which is the total time.

Earth's lithospheric plates interact at____.
earnstyle [38]

Explanation:

Tectonic plate interactions are classified into three basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.
