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

What do zooplankton and krill have in common?
serious [3.7K]
<h2><em>Hello, thank you for choosing brainly today. My name is Ethan and I'll be solving your question. </em><em><u>"What do zooplankton and krill have in common?"</u></em></h2>

Krill and plankton are two groups of organisms found in the ocean. Krill are species of crustacean related to shrimp, and serve as a very important link in the food chain of the sea. Plankton consist of a larger group of organisms with much more variety, including bacteria, algae, protozoans, jellyfish and some species of cephalopods.

Propulsion

The primary factor that determines whether a species is plankton or not is propulsion. Plankton organisms lack the ability to swim against the tide, and instead float from place to place on sea currents. They may be capable of some movement, and some types of plankton can even hunt for food, but none is powerful enough to make its own headway through the ocean. Adult krill are capable of swimming against currents, but their larvae and eggs fall into the plankton category.

Variation

Krill are crustaceans of the Euphausiacea order, which consists of 86 different species. Plankton, on the other hand, can come from a wide variety of different species and orders. Plankton fall into three broad categories, depending on their primary function. Phytoplankton are plant-like organisms, capable of photosynthesis. Zooplankton are animal plankton species that get their nutrients by eating other microscopic organisms. Bacterioplankton are the smallest plankton, and often serve as food for zooplankton and other lifeforms.

Appearance

Krill species have similar characteristics and generally resemble tiny shrimp. Most species reach around 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) as adults, while the largest species can reach sizes of up to 15 centimeters (5.9 inches). Plankton, on the other hand, consists of organisms of many different shapes and sizes. The smallest categories include microscopic viruses, protozoans, small crustaceans, and other tiny organisms. At the larger end of the scale, megaplankton are any plankton over 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) in size, and include large animals, such as cephalopods and jellyfish. The largest plankton is the lion's mane jellyfish, which can reach 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) in diameter and grow tentacles more than 36.5 meters (120 feet) long.

Role

Plankton and krill serve similar, but slightly different, roles in the food chain. Phytoplankton synthesize nutrients, while bacterioplankton recycle nutrients from decomposing matter in the ocean, providing some of the fundamental sources of nutrition for all ocean creatures. Zooplankton serve to concentrate those nutrients by eating smaller plankton and serving as food for larger creatures. Krill are one step up in the food chain, eating plankton and serving as a nutrient bridge from microscopic life forms to larger fish and mammals.

When sound is created it travels to the car through a
Rasek [7]

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave caused by vibrations and carried through a substance. The particles of the substance, such as air particles, vibrate back and forth along the path that the sound waves travel. Sound is transmitted through the vibrations and collisions of the particles.

This could maybe help you with your answer.

Two objects separated by a distance r are each carrying a charge q The magnitude of the force exerted on the second object by th
Sindrei [870]

Answer:F=4F

Explanation: Columbs law states that The force between the two point charges is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them

Force between the two charges is given by

F=K*q1*q2/r^2

if one charge become 4 times, new force is,

F=4(K*q1*q2)/r^2

F=4F

Where q1 and q2 are the point charges

r is the distance between the two charges

K is a constant of proportion called electrostatic force

What functions normally performed by the placenta would the hatchery have to perform so that the embryos survive
horrorfan [7]
The functions that would be performed both by the placenta and the hatchery so that the embryos will survive is to maintain the temperature of the embryos. The temperature should also be at the temperature where the embryos would thrive and develop.
