At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
U_i= \frac{1}{2} ka^2
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
K_i =0
And the total energy of the system is
E_i = U_i+K= \frac{1}{2}ka^2

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
U_f = 0
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2
And the total energy is
E_f = U_f + K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore E_i = E_f. So we  can write
\frac{1}{2} ka^2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
that we can solve to find an expression for v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{ka^2}{m} }

A small block with mass 0.0350 kgkg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.550 mm on the inside of a circular track. During one
Lisa [10]

Answer:

 W_net = μ 5.58,   μ = 0.1     W_net = 0.558 J

Explanation:

The work is defined by the related

          W = F. d ​​= F d cos θ

where bold indicates vectors.

In the case, the work of the friction force on a circular surface is requested.

The expression for the friction force is

              fr = μ N

the friction force opposes the movement, therefore the angle is 180º and the cos 180 = -1

               W = - fr d

the path traveled half the length of the circle

               L = 2 π R

               d = L / 2

               d = π R

we substitute

                 W = - μ N d

Total work is initial to

                W_neto = - μ π R (N_b - N_a)

let's calculate

                W_net = - μ π 0.550 (0.670 - 3.90)

                W_net = μ 5.58

for the complete calculation it is necessary to know the friction coefficient, if we assume that μ = 0.1

                W_net = 0.1 5.58

                W_net = 0.558 J
