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

A bumper cart has a mass of 200 kg and has a protective bumper around it that behaves like a spring. The spring constant is 5000
34kurt
Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:

KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J

Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:

F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N

A chair exerts a force of 20 N on a floor and is not moving. What force does
AysviL [449]

The floor exerts 20 N of force on the chair

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using Newton's third law, which states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"</em>

In this problem, we can identify:

- Object A as the chair

- Object B as the floor

This means that the force of 20 N exerted by the chair on the floor is the action, and so the force exerted by the floor on the chair is the reaction. Newton's third law states that these two forces are equal and opposite: therefore, the force exerted by the floor on the chair is also 20 N, but in the opposite direction.

Answer:

the pressure at B is 527psf

Explanation:

Angular velocity, ω = v / r

ω = 20 /1.5

= 13.333 rad/s

Flow equation from point A to B

P_A+rz_A-\frac{1}{2} Pr_A^2w^2=P_B+rz_B-\frac{1}{2} pr^2_Bw^2\\\\P_B = P_A + r(z_A-z_B)+\frac{1}{2} pw^2[(r_B^2)-(r_A)^2]\\\\P_B = [25 +(0.8+62.4)(0-1)+\frac{1}{2}(0.8\times1.94)\times(13.333)^2[2.5^2-1.5^2]  ]\\\\P_B = 25 - 49.92+551.79\\\\P_B = 526.87psf\\\approx527psf

the pressure at B is 527psf

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Action force and Reaction force

Explanation:

The action force which is the balanced rock pushing down due to gravity and the reaction force pushing the equal amount of force. These two things are stated in Newtons third law, where he states that "Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first." Also, he states that "all forces acts in pairs," meaning that every force exerted, there is an opposite force on the first.
