A compressed spring, with spring constant 1900 N/m, is sitting on a level, frozen lake. One end of the spring is anchored firmly

at one end to a large rock that pokes through the ice, and the other touches a 3.5 kg, rectangular block of ice. The spring is compressed a distance of 15 cm. the ice is very smooth and is slightly wet, making it, for all practical purposes, frictionless. a) what is the potential energy of the spring when it is compressed? b) the spring is released, which then pushes the block across the ice. What is the kinetic energy of the ice block as it moved across the ice? c) what is the speed of the block of ice, once it is moving on the frozen lake? d) the block of ice now slides up an icy ramp (also smooth and slightly wet). What is the gravitational potential energy of the block when it reaches the highest point on the ramp? e) when the block is at its highest point on the ramp, how high above the frozen lake will it be?

Answer:

21.375 J

21.375 J

3.49489 m/s

21.375 J

0.62254 m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 1900 N/m

x = Displacement of spring = 15 cm

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m = Mass of block = 3.5 kg

Potential energy is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}1900\times 0.15^2\\\Rightarrow U=21.375\ J

The potential energy of the spring is 21.375 J

As the energy in the system is conserved we get the kinetic and potential energy are equal

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=21.375\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 21.375}{3.5}}\\\Rightarrow v=3.49489\ m/s

The velocity of block is 3.49489 m/s

Again, as the energy of the system is conserved

The gravitational potential energy is 21.375 J

mgh=21.375\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{21.375}{3.5\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=0.62254\ m

The height the block will reach is 0.62254 m

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, an object will accelerate if you apply what kind of force? Question 1 options: Frict
Bumek [7]

An unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

<h3>What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?</h3>

It states that the force applied to the object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

  • An object will accelerate when the net force applied on the object is more than zero or unbalanced.
  • The acceleration is the change in the direction or speed of the object. To achieve acceleration the force must be greater in a direction.

  • When force is greater in one the object move in that direction which is known as acceleration.

Therefore, an unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

What does this observation tell you about the relationship between the external force applied and the object’s acceleration (the
Dvinal [7]

Explanation:

Newton’s second law of motion is closely related to Newton’s first law of motion. It mathematically states the cause and effect relationship between force and changes in motion. Newton’s second law of motion is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force. Before we can write down Newton’s second law as a simple equation giving the exact relationship of force, mass, and acceleration, we need to sharpen some ideas that have already been mentioned.

First, what do we mean by a change in motion? The answer is that a change in motion is equivalent to a change in velocity. A change in velocity means, by definition, that there is an acceleration. Newton’s first law says that a net external force causes a change in motion; thus, we see that a net external force causes acceleration.
