A 3.0 kg box is sliding along a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 1.8 m/s when it encounters a spring. (a) Determi

ne the force constant (in N/m) of the spring, if the box compresses the spring 6.6 cm before coming to rest.
(b) Determine the initial speed (in m/s) the box would need in order to compress the spring by 1.8 cm.

Answer:

a) k = 2231.40 N/m

b) v = 0.491 m/s

Explanation:

Let k be the spring force constant , x be the compression displacement of the spring and v be the speed of the box.

when the box encounters the spring, all the energy of the box is kinetic energy:

the energy relationship between the box and the spring is given by:

1/2(m)×(v^2) = 1/2(k)×(x^2)

    (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)

a) (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)

                 k = [(m)×(v^2)]/(x^2)

                 k = [(3)×((1.8)^2)]/((6.6×10^-2)^2)

                 k = 2231.40 N/m

Therefore, the force spring constant is 2231.40 N/m

b) (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)

             v^2 = [(k)(x^2)]/m

                 v =  \sqrt{ [(k)(x^2)]/m}

                 v = \sqrt{ [(2231.40)((1.8×10^-2)^2)]/(3)}

                    = 0.491 m/s

Answer:

(a) Spring constant k = 2231.4 N/m

(b) Velocity v = 0.49 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the box m = 3 kg

Speed v = 1.8 m/sec

(a) The spring is stretched by 6.6 cm so x = 6.6 cm = 0.066 m

From energy conservation we know that

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

\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 1.8^2=\frac{1}{2}\times k\times 0.066^2

k=2231.40N/m

(b) Here the spring is stretched by 1.8 cm

So x = 1.8 cm = 0.018 m

From energy conservation we know that

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

\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times v^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 2231.40\times 0.018^2

v=0.49m/sec

The second-order rate constants for the reaction of oxygen atoms ·with aromatic hydrocarbons have been measured (R. Atkinson and
Blizzard [7]

Answer:  Frequency factor  A = 8 × 10⁹

activation energy Ea = 15.5 KJ/Mol

Explanation: to begin, let us first define the parameters given;

K₁ = 1.44 × 10⁷dm³mol⁻¹s⁻¹

K₂ = 3.03 × 10⁷ dm³mol⁻¹s⁻¹

K₃ = 6.9 × 10 dm³mol⁻¹s⁻¹

also T₁ = 300.3 K

T₂ = 341.2 K

T₃ = 392.2 K

we know that;

㏑ K₂ / K₁ = Ea/R [1/T₁ -1/T₂]

where R is given as 8.314 J/mol-k

Ea = activation energy

K₁, K₂ = rate constant

T₁, T₂ = Temperature

therefore, ㏑ (3.03 × 10⁷/ 1.44 × 10⁷) = Ea / 8.314 [1/300.3 - 1/341.2]

this gives Ea = 15496.16 J/Mol ≈ 15.5 KJ /Mol

∴ Ea = 15.5 KJ/ Mol

also given that K = A e⁻∧Ea/RT

here A = frequency factor

∴ 6.9 × 10⁷ = A e⁻ ∧(15496.16/8.314 × 392.2)

A = 7.99 × 10⁹ = 8 × 10⁹
