Answer:

388.5J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight  = 70N

Height  = 5.55m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy at the top of the ladder  = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of the body.

  Gravitational potential energy  = Weight x height

So;

 Gravitational potential energy  = 70 x 5.55 = 388.5J

It takes 500 J of work to compress a spring 10 cm. What is the force constant of the spring? (b) When a 3.0 kg block is pushed a
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Energy stored in spring = 1/2 k x² = .5 x k 0.1²

500 = 5 x 10⁻³ k ,

k = (500/5) x 10³ = 10⁵ N/m

b )

k = 4.5 x 10¹ = 45 N/m

Stored energy = 1/2 k x² = .5 x 45 x 8² x 10⁻⁴ =1440 x 10⁻⁴ J

This energy gets dissipated by friction .

work done by friction = μ mg d

d is the distance traveled under friction

so 1440 x 10⁻⁴ = μ x 3 x 9.8 x 2

μ = 245 x 10⁻⁴  or 0.00245 which appears to be very small. .
