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

Calculate the workdone to stretch an elastic string by 40cm if a force of 10 newton produces an extension of 4cm in it
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Workdone = 20 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 10N

Extension, e = 4cm to meters = 4/100 = 0.04 meters

Workdone extension = 40cm to meters = 40/100 = 0.4 meters

To find the work done;

First of all, we would find the spring constant using the formula;

Force = spring constant * extension

10 = spring constant * 0.04

Spring constant = 10/0.04

Spring constant = 250 N/m

Next, we find the work done;

Workdone = ½ke²

Where;

k is the spring constant.

e is the extension.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Workdone = ½ * 250 * 0.4²

Workdone = 125 * 0.16

Workdone = 20 Joules

Your in an escape room. Only its real and your oxygen runs out in 3 minutes unless you solve this problem, The problem :a ball i
alex41 [277]

The sum of the series allows to find the result for the total distance that the ball bounces is:

            total distance = 59.52 in

A series is a set of things or numbers related by a specific operation.

They indicate that the ball falls from an initial height y₀ = 30 in. and it bounces 50% of the height and the process is repeated until it stops, see attached.

Let's build a table to observe the sequence.

drop   height    rebound

   1        30          15

   2       15            7.5

   3        7.5         3.75

If we call the first term y₀  

The first bounce can be found.

                             y₁ = \frac{y_o}{2}

The second bounces.

                             y_2 = \frac{y_1}{2}  \\y_2 = \frac{y_o}{4}

The third bounce.

                             y_3  = \frac{y_2}{2}  \\y_3 = \frac{y_0}{ 8}

By observing this table we can construct a series of the form

 

      Total distance = y_o \ ( 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}+  \frac{1}{8} + ... +\frac{1}{2n} )

The sum of the serie has a result of

        sum  = 127/64 = 1,984

Let's calculate

     distance total  = 30 1,984

     Distance total = 59.52 cm

In conclusion, using the sum of the series we can find the result for the total distance that the ball bounces is:

            total distance = 59.52 in
