A brick of mass m = 0.21 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of k1 = 690 N/m which has been compressed by a distan

ce of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 489 N/m.
(A) How far d2, in meters, will the second spring compress when the block runs into it?
(B) How fast v, in meters per second, will the block be moving when it strikes the second spring?
(C) Now assume friction is present on the surface in between the ends of the springs at their equilibrium lengths, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is ?k = 0.5. If the distance between the springs is x = 1 m, how far d2, in meters, will the second spring now compress?

Answer:

Part a)

x = 0.12 m

Part b)

v = 5.73 m/s

Part c)

x = 0.11 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As per energy conservation we can say

Energy stored in spring 1 = energy stored in spring 2

\frac{1}{2}k_1x_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}k_2x_2^2

now we have

k_1 = 690 N/m

x_1 = 0.1 m

k_2 = 489 N/m

x_2 = ?

now from above equation

(690)(0.1^2) = 489(x^2)

x = 0.12 m

Part b)

To find the speed of the block we can say that its kinetic energy is gained due to spring energy

so we have

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

\frac{1}{2}(690)(0.1^2) = \frac{1}{2}(0.21)v^2

v = 5.73 m/s

Part c)

When friction is present between two springs then we have energy loss due to friction force

so we have

\frac{1}{2}k_1x_1^2 - \mu mgd = \frac{1}{2}k_2x_2^2

now we have

\frac{1}{2}(690)(0.1)^2 - (0.2)(0.21)(9.8)(1) = \frac{1}{2}(489) x^2

3.45 - 0.4116 = 244.5 x^2

x = 0.11 m

ad-work [718]

Answer:

60 m/s

Explanation:

a =  \frac{vf - vi}{t}

5.0 =  \frac{vf - 0}{12}

5.0 \times 12 = vf

60 = vf

Which of these is a mixture?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Air is a mixture.

Explanation:

Air is a homogeneous mixture. It is made up of gaseous substances such as nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of others.

Carbon dioxide is a pure substance, not a mixture.

Carbon is another pure substance, it cannot be separated into other substances.

Oxygen is just oxygen, it does not contain any other substance.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

fr = ½ m v₀²/x

Explanation:

This exercise the body must be on a ramp so that a component of the weight is counteracted by the friction force.

The best way to solve this exercise is to use the energy work theorem

            W = ΔK

Where work is defined as the product of force by distance

           W = fr x cos 180

The angle is because the friction force opposes the movement

          Δk =K_{f} –K₀

          ΔK = 0 - ½ m v₀²

We substitute

         - fr x = - ½ m v₀²      

           fr = ½ m v₀²/x

Why can’t a real machine ever have 100% efficiency
Harman [31]

Answer:

Almost all machines require energy to offset the effects of gravity, friction, and air/wind resistance. Thus, no machine can continually operate at 100 percent efficiency.
