A block with mass 0.470 kg sits at rest on a light but not long vertical spring that has spring constant 85.0 N/m and one end on

the floor. A second identical block is dropped onto the first from a height of 4.40 m above the first block and sticks to it. What is the maximum elastic potential energy stored in the spring during the motion of the blocks after the collision?

Answer: elastic potential energy = 20.27 J

Explanation:

Given that the

Mass M = 0.470 kg

Height h = 4.40 m

Spring constant K = 85 N/m

The maximum elastic potential will be equal to the maximum kinetic energy experienced by the block.

But according to conservative of energy, the maximum kinetic energy is equal to the maximum potential energy experienced by the block of mass M.

That is

K .E = P.E = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s^2

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

K.E = 0.470 × 9.8 × 4.4

K.E = 20.27 J

Where K.E = maximum elastic potential energy stored in the spring during the motion of the blocks after the collision which is 20.27J.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

this statement describes meteor's velocity,

because velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude as well as a specific direction and here the meteor's direction is specified in the statement hence we conclude that this statement describes meteor's velocity as well as speed too.

The weight of a body of certain mass becomes zero in space.why?write with reasons​
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Weight is what you get when a certain amount of gravity is acting on that mass, and something, like the surface of a planet, is resisting that action. In space, when falling freely, there's nothing resisting the pull of gravity so weight disappears. Mass however stays.

A 150kg person stands on a compression spring with spring constant 10, 000 N/m and norminal.Length of 0.50.What is the togal len
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Total length of spring 0.647 m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the person m = 150 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Spring constant k = 10000 N/m

Nominal length of spring = 0.50

According to hook's law

mg=kx

150\times 9.8=10000\times x

x = 0.147 m

So total length of spring = 0.50+0.147 = 0.647 m
