(a) A 15.0 kg block is released from rest at point A in the figure below. The track is frictionless except for the portion betwe

en points B and C, which has a length of 6.00 m. The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2,150 N/m, and compresses the spring 0.200 m from its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface between points B and C.
(b) What If? The spring now expands, forcing the block back to the left. Does the block reach point B?

If the block does reach point B, how far up the curved portion of the track does it reach, and if it does not, how far short of point B does the block come to a stop? (Enter your answer in m.)

Answer:

(a) coefficient of friction = 0.451

This was calculated by the application of energy conservation principle (the total sum of energy in a closed system is conserved)

(b) No, it comes to a stop 5.35m short of point B. This is so because the spring on expanding only does a work of 43 J on the block which is not enough to meet up the workdone of 398 J against friction.

Explanation:

The detailed step by step solution to this problems can be found in the attachment below. The solution for part (a) was divided into two: the motion of the body from point A to point B and from point B to point C. The total energy in the system is gotten from the initial gravitational potential energy. This energy becomes transformed into the work done against friction and the work done in compression the spring. A work of 398J was done in overcoming friction over a distance of 6.00m. The energy used in doing so is lost as friction is not a conservative force. This leaves only 43J of energy which compresses the spring. On expansion the spring does a work of 43J back on the block is only enough to push it over a distance of 0.65m stopping short of 5.35m from point B.

Thank you for reading and I hope this is helpful to you.

What is the wavelength in nm of a light whose first order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 30 degrees, and the diffracti
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The wavelength is 3500 nm.

Explanation:

d= \frac{1}{700 lines per mm} = 0.007mm = 7000 nm

n= 1

θ= 30°

λ= unknown

Solution:

d sinθ = nλ

λ = \frac{7000 nm sin 30}{1}

λ = 3500 nm

A motorcycle, which has an initial linear speed of 8.0 m/s, decelerates to a speed of 2.2 m/s in 4.1 s. Each wheel has a radius
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial linear speed v_1=8 m/s

initial angular velocity \omega _1=\frac{v_1}{r}=\frac{8}{0.6}=13.33 rad/s

Speed after 4.1 s is  v_2=2.2 m/s

\omega _2=\frac{2.2}{0.6}=3.66 rad/s

using \omega _2=\omega _1+\alpha t

where \alphais angular acceleration

3.66=13.33+\alpha \cdot 4.1

\alpha =-2.37 rad/s^2 i.e. clockwise

(b)angular displacement

\theta =\omega _1t+\frac{\alpha t^2}{2}

\theta =13.33\times 4.1-\frac{2.37\cdot 4.1^2}{2}

\theta =54.66-19.75

\theta =34.91 rad

A thermally isolated system consists of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper. The aluminum and the copper are in t
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Explanation:

Make up a question.

The only change is going to be c.

Suppose they aluminum starts our higher at 50oC

Suppose the copper starts out at 20oC

Suppose the mass of both are 25 grams.

Aluminum

m*2c * deltat

  • deltat = 50 - x
  • c = 2*c
  • m = 25

Copper

m*c*deltat

deltat = x - 20

m = 25

c = c

Now since the amount of heat is the same (this starts out on a heated slab of something).

m*2c * (50 - x) = m * c * x - 20  The m and the c are the same. Cancel them out.

2 * (50 - x) = (x - 20)    Remove the brackets.

100 - 2x = x - 20          Add 20 to both sides.

120 - 2x = x                  Add 2x to both sides.

120 = 3x                       Divide by 3

x = 40

What does this tell you?

It tells you that the temperature of the aluminum is only going to drop 10 degrees

The copper is going to gain 40 - 20 = 20  degrees.

The heat transfer is actually the same. It doesn't take as much heat to heat copper as it does aluminum. That's shown by the difference in how the temperature changes. One looses 10 degrees. The other gains 20. The transfer is the same because of the way the "c" operates.
