(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.

At a distance of 11 cm from a presumably isotropic, radioactive source, a pair of students measure 65 cps (cps = counts per seco
Alborosie

To solve the problem, it is necessary the concepts related to the definition of area in a sphere, and the proportionality of the counts per second between the two distances.

The area with a certain radius and the number of counts per second is proportional to another with a greater or lesser radius, in other words,

A_1*m=M*A_2

A_i =Area

M,m = Counts per second

Our radios are given by

r_1 = 11cm

R_2 = 20cm

m = 65cps

Therefore replacing we have that,

A_1*m=M*A_2

4\pi r_1^2*m = M * 4\pi R_2^2 M

r^2*m=MR^2

M = \frac{m*r^2}{R^2}

M = \frac{65*11^2}{20^2}

M = 19.6625cps

Therefore the number of counts expect at a distance of 20 cm is 19.66cps

An object at rest on a flat, horizontal surface explodes into two fragments, one seven times as massive as the other. The heavie
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

One fragment is 7 times heavier than the other

Let one fragment mass be M

Let this has a velocity v

And the other 7M

And this a velocity V

Initially the fragment is at rest u = 0

Applying conservation of momentum

Momentum is given as p=mv

Initial momentum = final momentum

Po = Pf

(M+7M) × 0 = 7M •V − Mv

0 = 7M•V - Mv

Divide both sides by M

0 = 7V -v

v = 7V

Since friction decelerates the masses to zero speed, we can calculate the NET work on the individual blocks and relate this quantity to the change in kinetic energy of each block

The workdone by the 7M mass is

Distance moved by 7M mass is 6.8m, Then, d =6.8m

W = fr × d

Where fr = µkN

When N=W =mg, where m=7M

N= 7Mg

fr = −µk × 7mg

Then, W(7m) = −7µk•Mg×d

W(7m) = −7µk•Mg×6.8

W(7m) = −47.6 µk•Mg

Then, same procedure,

Let distance move by the small mass be m

Work done by M mass

W(m) = −µk•Mg×d'

Since it is a wordone by friction, that is why we have a negative sign.

Using conservation of energy

Work done by 7M mass is equal to work done by M mass

W(7m) = W(m)

−47.6 µk•Mg = −µk•Mg×d

Then, M, g and µk cancels out

We are left with

-46.7 = -d

Then, d = 46.7m
