A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface encounters a spring attached to a rigid wall and compresses the spring by a c

ertain distance by the time the block ceases its forward motion. If the same experiment is repeated on a rough horizontal surface, some of the box's energy is lost to friction, and so the spring is compressed by a smaller distance by the time the block ceases its forward motion.
Part a) If the mass of the block is 3.96 kg, and its initial velocity is 5 m/s, what is the initial kinetic energy of the block?

________ Joules

Part b) If the block on the frictionless surface compresses the spring by 26.8 cm, what is the spring constant of the spring?

________ N/m

Part c) If the block on the rough surface compresses only compresses the spring by 15 cm, then how much energy was lost to friction?

________ Joules

Part d) If the block traveled a total of 3.20 m on the rough surface between the start of the experiment and the point where the spring is maximally compressed, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction for the block moving on this surface?

Answer:

a) K = 49.5 J  b) k = 1378 N / m c) ΔE = 34 J  d)  μ = 0.399

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the concepts of energy

a) The initial kinetic energy is

    K = ½ m v²

    K = ½ 3.96 5²

    K = 49.5 J

b) let's use energy conservation

    Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

    Em_{f} = Ke = ½ k x²

    Em₀ =  Em_{f}

    ½ m v² = ½ k x²

    k = m v² / x²

    k = 3.96 5² / 0.268²

    k = 1378 N / m

c) Let's calculate the final energy of the spring

     Em_{f} = Ke = ½ k x²

    Em_{f} = ½ 1378 0.15²

     Em_{f} = 15.5 J

The initial energy is the kinetics of the block

    Em₀ = 49.5 J

The lost energy is the difference with the initial

    ΔE =  Em_{f} - Em₀

    ΔE = 15.5 - 49.5

    ΔE = - 34 J

the negative sign means that the energy dissipates

d) For this part we use the concept of work

   W = F d cos θ = ΔK

In this case the force is the friction force that always opposes displacement, so the angle 180 ° and cos 180 = -1

    W = -fr d = ΔK

The force of friction is

   fr = μ N

With Newton's second law

    N-w = 0

    N = W = mg

Let's calculate

   -μ mg d = Kf -K₀o

    μ = K₀ / mgd

    μ = 49.5 / (3.96  9.8  3.20)

    μ = 0.399

Distance Using Hubble's Law II.Find the percent difference (% = |A-O|/A × 100) between the actual (A) distance values and calcul
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let us first calculate for Virgo

A= d_{virgo} = 17;M_{pc}, V_{virgo} = 1200 km/s,


Using Hubble's law

v = H_{0}D For Virgo

V_{virgo} = H_{0}D_{virgo}

O = D_{virgo} = \frac{v_{virgo}}{H_{0}} = \frac{1200 km/s}{70 km/s/Mpc}= 17.143 Mpc


Percentage difference for the Virgo

\% = \frac{|A-O|}{A}\times 100 = \frac{|17 Mpc-17.143 Mpc|}{17 Mpc}\times 100 = 0.84 \%


Now for calculate for Corona Borealis

A= d_{Corona Borealis}  = 310 Mpc, v_{Corona Borealis}  = 22000 km/s,


Using Hubble's law

v = H_{0}D For Corona Borealis

v_{Corona Borealis } = H_{0}D_{Corona Borealis }
\\O = D_{Corona Borealis } = \frac{v_{Corona Borealis }}{H_{0}} = \frac{22000 km/s}{70 km/s/Mpc}= 314.286 Mpc


Percentage difference for the Virgo

\% = \frac{|A-O|}{A}\times 100 = \frac{|310 Mpc-314.286 Mpc|}{310 Mpc}\times 100 = 1.3825 \%


So clearly  Hubble's law is more accurate for the closer objects

A 1.5kg cannon is loaded with a 0.52 kg ball . The cannon is ignited and launches the ball forward with speed of 75m/s. Determin
Mila [183]

Answer:

-26 m/s (backward)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, the total momentum momentum of the cannon + ball system must be conserved before and after the explosion.

Before the explosion, they are both at rest, so the total momentum is zero:

p = 0

After the explosion, the total momentum is:

p=MV+mv

where

M = 1.5 kg is the mass of the cannon

m = 0.52 kg is the mass of the ball

v = +75 m/s is the velocity of the ball

V is the velocity of the cannon

Since the momentum is conserved, we can equate the two expressions:

0=MV+mv

And solving, we find V:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.52)(+75)}{1.5}=-26 m/s

where the negative sign means the direction is opposite to that of the ball.

A 2.03 kg book is placed on a flat desk. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the book and the desk is 0.602 and t
diamong [38]

Answer:

11.98 N

Explanation:

Normal force =   mg =  2.03 * 9.81

coeff of static friction must be overcome for the book to begin moving

       .602 = F / (2.03 * 9.81)   = 11.98  N
