A wooden block with mass 1.60 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of a slope inclined at an angle of 30.0° (p

oint A). When the spring is released, it projects the block up the incline. At point B, a distance of 6.55 m up the incline from A, the block is moving up the incline at a speed of 7.50 m/s and is no longer in contact with the spring. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and incline is \mu_k = 0.50. The mass of the spring is negligible.
Calculate the amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring. Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s².

Answer:

The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 1.60 kg

Angle = 30.0°

Distance = 6.55 m

Speed = 7.50 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.50

We need to calculate the amount of potential energy

Using formula of conservation of energy between point A and B

U_{A}+k_{A}+w_{A}=U_{B}+k_{B}

U_{A}+0-fd=mgy+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

U_{A}=\mu mg\cos\theta\times d+mg h\sin\theta+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

U_{A}=0.50\times1.60\times9.8\cos30\times6.55+1.60\times9.8\times6.55\sin30+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.60\times(7.50)^2

U_{A}=88.8\ J

Hence, The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

Mr. Stephenson drives his car from Dallas to Town X, a distance of 437 km. The trip takes 7.27 hours. What is the average speed
klasskru [66]

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Distance covered = 437 km = 437,000 meters

Time to cover the distance = (7.27 hrs) x (3600 sec/hr) = 26,172 seconds

Average speed = (437,000 meters) / (26,172 seconds)

Average speed = 16.7 m/s

A force of 4 kg weight acts on a body of mass 9.8 kg calculate the acceleration
White raven [17]

Answer:

here given is a weight

then force becomes mg

that is F=Mg

=4*9.8

then by using the formula

F=Ma

a=F/M

=4*9.8/9.8

=4

What statement is true about a spring?
snow_tiger [21]
I think B is the most correct, because logically it's harder to bend a stiffer spring than it is to bend a softer one. Also, I don't think length comes into play. So B.
