Answer:
b. 0.20 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
initial mass, m = 0.2 kg
maximum speed, v = 0.3 m/s
The total energy of the spring at the given maximum speed is calculated as;
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
K.E = 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.3²
K.E = 0.009 J
If the mass is changed to 0.4 kg
¹/₂mv² = K.E
mv² = 2K.E
Therefore, the maximum speed is 0.20 m/s
Answer:
b) N = 560 N, c) fr = 138.56 N, d) μ = 0.247
Explanation:
a) In the attachment we can see the free body diagram of the system
b) Let's write Newton's second law on the y-axis
N + T_y -W = 0
N = W -T_y
let's use trigonometry for tension
sin θ = T_y / T
cos θ = Tₓ / T
T_y = T sin θ
Tₓ = T cos θ
we substitute
N = W - T sin 30
we calculate
N = 640 - 160 sin 30
N = 560 N
c) as the system goes at constant speed the acceleration is zero
X axis
Tₓ - fr = 0
Tₓ = fr
we substitute and calculate
fr = 160 cos 30
fr = 138.56 N
d) the friction force has the formula
fr = μ N
μ = fr / N
we calculate
μ = 138.56 / 560
μ = 0.247
