A block of mass 2.95 kg is placed against a horizontal spring of constant k = 820 N/m and pushed so the spring compresses by 0.0

800 m. (a) What is the spring potential energy of the block-spring system? 2.624 Correct: Your answer is correct. J (b) If the block is now released and the surface is frictionless, calculate the block's speed after leaving the spring.

Answer:

(a) 2.624

(b) 1.334

Explanation:

The given data in the question is:

Mass = 2.95 kg

Spring constant "k" = 820 N/m

Compression of Spring "x" = 0.0800m

Using this data and the equation to find the answer for spring potential energy:

spring potential energy = 1/2 kx²

= 1/2 (820 N/m)(0.0800m)²

= 2.624 Joules

(b) - It is given that the surface is friction-less which means no loss of energy during the motion of spring. This means that all the potential energy possessed by the spring converts to Kinetic Energy of the block. We can equate spring potential energy with Kinetic energy to find the block's speed as below:

Kinetic Energy = 1/2mv² where "m" is mass and "v" is velocity of the object

1/2mv² =  spring potential energy (found in part "a" above)

1/2(2.95 kg)v² = 2.624 Joules

v² = (2.624 x 2) / 2.95

v² = 1.779

v = √1.779

v = 1.334 m/s

Can anyone tell me what's the base quantities for Force, Pressure and Charge?​
mr Goodwill [35]

Force, pressure, and charge are all what are called <em>derived units</em>. They come from algebraic combinations of <em>base units</em>, measures of things like length, time, temperature, mass, and current. <em>Speed, </em>for instance, is a derived unit, since it's a combination of length and time in the form [speed] = [length] / [time] (miles per hour, meters per second, etc.)

Force is defined with Newton's equation F = ma, where m is an object's mass and a is its acceleration. It's unit is kg·m/s², which scientists have called a <em>Newton</em>. (Example: They used <em>9 Newtons</em> of force)

Pressure is force applied over an area, defined by the equation P = F/A. We can derive its from Newtons to get a unit of N/m², a unit scientists call the <em>Pascal</em>. (Example: Applying <em>100 Pascals </em>of pressure)

Finally, charge is given by the equation Q = It, where I is the current flowing through an object and t is how long that current flows through. It has a unit of A·s (ampere-seconds), but scientist call this unit a Coulomb. (Example: 20 <em>Coulombs</em> of charge)
