Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of a car, u = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s
Acceleration, a = 2m/s²
Final speed, v = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s
We need to find the distance traveled and the time taken to make the distance.
acceleration = rate of change of velocity
let the distance be d.
Hence, the distance traveled and the time taken to make the distance is 208.25 m and 8.33 seconds respectively.
Answer:
a) = 928 J
, b)U = -62.7 J
, c) K = 0
, d) Y = 11.0367 m, e) v = 15.23 m / s
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we will use the concepts of mechanical energy.
a) The elastic potential energy is
= ½ k x²
= ½ 2900 0.80²
= 928 J
b) place the origin at the point of the uncompressed spring, the spider's potential energy
U = m h and
U = 8 9.8 (-0.80)
U = -62.7 J
c) Before releasing the spring the spider is still, so its true speed and therefore the kinetic energy also
K = ½ m v²
K = 0
d) write the energy at two points, maximum compression and maximum height
Em₀ = ke = ½ m x²
= mg y
Emo =
½ k x² = m g y
y = ½ k x² / m g
y = ½ 2900 0.8² / (8 9.8)
y = 11.8367 m
As zero was placed for the spring without stretching the height from that reference is
Y = y- 0.80
Y = 11.8367 -0.80
Y = 11.0367 m
Bonus
Energy for maximum compression and uncompressed spring
Emo = ½ k x² = 928 J
= ½ m v²
Emo =
Emo = ½ m v²
v =√ 2Emo / m
v = √ (2 928/8)
v = 15.23 m / s
