(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.

The following three questions refer to a situation in which a driver is in a car that crashes into a solid wall. The car comes t
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1) p₀ = 45000 N / s ,   p₀ '= 1800 , b)  I = -45000 N s ,  I = 1800 Ns

Explanation:

Impulse equals the change in momentum

         I = Δp

1) the initial moment of the car

         p₀ = M v

          p₀ = 1500 30

          p₀ = 45000 N / s

the change at the moment is

          Δp = 45000

because the end the car is stopped

moment of the person

          P₀ ’= m v

         p₀ '= 60 30

          p₀ '= 1800

          D₀ '= 1800

2) of the momentum change impulse ratio

        car

              I =  Δp

              I = -45000 N s

        person

              I = Δpo '

              I = 1800 Ns

3) the object that give the momentum to stop the wall motoring

The person is stopped by the impulse given by the car

a) This area is the one that absorbs most of the vehicle impulse

be) If using a safety painter, the time during which the greater force will act, therefore the lessons decrease

c) The air bag helps reduction in the speed of the person relatively quickly.

Calculate the force of a particle with a net charge of 170 coulombs traveling at a speed of 135 meters/second perpendicular to t
amm1812

Answer:

F=1.14N j

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force over a charge in a constant magnetic field is given by the formula:

|\vec{F}|=|q\vec{v} \ X\ \vec{B}|=qvsin\theta  (|)

In this case v and B vectors are perpendicular between them. Furthermore the direction of the magnetic force is:

-i X k = +j

Finally, by replacing in (1) we obtain:

\vec{F}=(170C)(135\frac{m}{s})(5.0*10^{-5}T)=1.14N\ \hat{j}

hope this helps!

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved: Group of answer choices only when no external
uysha [10]

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system (absence of external force) is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

where;

P.E is potential energy

K.E is kinetic energy

Thus, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

A 75.0-kg ice skater moving at 10.0 m/s crashes into a stationary skater of equal mass. After the collision, the two skaters mov
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum change for either skater is mΔv = 75.0(5.0) = 375 kg•m/s

As a change in momentum is equal to an impulse

375 = FΔt

F = 375/0.100 = 3750 N

As 3750 N < 4500 N no bones are broken.
