Answer:
Explanation:
Recall the formula for linear momentum (p):
which in our case equals 26.4 kg m/s
and notice that the kinetic energy can be written in terms of the linear momentum (p) as shown below:
Then, we can solve for the mass (m) given the information we have on the kinetic energy and momentum of the particle:
Now by knowing the particle's mass, we use the momentum formula to find its speed:
The potential energy of the block is given by:
V = m*g*h
m mass
g = 9.81m/s²
h height
The potential energy of a spring is given by:
V = 0.5 * k * x²
k spring constant
x compression of the spring
If the block starts from rest it has potential energy, but no kinetic energy. As it slides down the incline potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. When the block hits the spring the kinetic energy is converted into spring's potential energy. If the spring is fully compressed and the block is at rest again, the block has transferred all its energy into the spring. No energy is lost. So we can write:
m * g * h = 0.5 * k * x²
m = 0.5 kg
g = 9.81 m/s²
h = 2.5m * sin 37° = 1,5 m
x = 0,6 m
Solve for k.
k = 2 * m * g * h / x² = 40.8 N/m
