Leash a block of 0.5 kg down the entire length of an inclined plane forming a name of 37 ° with the horizontal. Friction with th

e plane is negligible. upon leaving the inclined plane, the block compresses a spring a spring on a polished horizontal surface. if the length of the plane is 2.5m and if the spring is and compressed by 60 cm what is the elasticity constant of the spring?

The potential energy of the block is given by:
V = m*g*h
m mass
g = 9.81m/s²
h height

The potential energy of a spring is given by:
V = 0.5 * k * x²

k spring constant
x compression of the spring

If the block starts from rest it has potential energy, but no kinetic energy. As it slides down the incline potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. When the block hits the spring the kinetic energy is converted into spring's potential energy. If the spring is fully compressed and the block is at rest again, the block has transferred all its energy into the spring. No energy is lost. So we can write:

m * g * h = 0.5 * k * x²

m = 0.5 kg
g = 9.81 m/s²
h = 2.5m * sin 37° = 1,5 m
x = 0,6 m

Solve for k.

k = 2 * m * g * h / x² = 40.8 N/m

if abus travelling at 20m/s is subject to steady decceleration of 5m/s².how long will it take yo come to rest.​
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -5 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-5 m/s²) t + 20 m/s

t = 4 s

What is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 29.5 km/h and the μs
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Radius=15.773 m

Explanation:

Given data

v=29.5 km/h=8.2 m/s

μs=0.435

To find

Radius R

Solution

The acceleration is a centripetal acceleration  which is experienced by the bicycle given by

a=v^{2}/R

This acceleration is only due to static force which given as

f=ma\\f=m(v^{2}/R )

The maximum value of the static force is given as

Fs_{max}=u_{s}F_{N}

where

FN is normal force equal to mass*gravity

Therefore when the car is on the verge of sliding

f=fs_{max}\\ m(v^{2}/R )=u_{s}mg

Therefore the minimum radius should be found by the bicycle move without  sliding

So

v^{2}/R=u_{s}g\\  R=v^{2}/u_{s}g\\R=(8.2)^{2}/(0.435*9.8)\\R=15.773m

Please help me answer the following question!
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

P = 0

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the quentity of motion contained in a body. Mathematically, it can be defined as the product of mass and velocity. So, in order to determine the Volkswagen Beetle, at rest, we can use the simple formula, as follows:

where,

P = Momentum of Volkswagen Beetle = ?

m = Mass of Volkswagen Beetle = 750 kg

v = Velocity of Volkswagen Beetle = 0 m/s (since, it is at rest)

Therefore,

P =
