Answer:
40000÷40=1000 joules is required to work in 40 seconds
Answer: elastic potential energy = 20.27 J
Explanation:
Given that the
Mass M = 0.470 kg
Height h = 4.40 m
Spring constant K = 85 N/m
The maximum elastic potential will be equal to the maximum kinetic energy experienced by the block.
But according to conservative of energy, the maximum kinetic energy is equal to the maximum potential energy experienced by the block of mass M.
That is
K .E = P.E = mgh
Where g = 9.8m/s^2
Substitutes all the parameters into the formula
K.E = 0.470 × 9.8 × 4.4
K.E = 20.27 J
Where K.E = maximum elastic potential energy stored in the spring during the motion of the blocks after the collision which is 20.27J.
The object with a mass of 100 kg would move slower than the object with a mass of 1 kg. This is because a greater force is required to move the object with a mass of 100 kg compared to the object of 1 kg.
