a block initially at rest has a mass m and sits on a plane incline at angle. it slides a distance d before hitting a spring and

compresses the spring by a mazimum distance of xf. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the plane and block is uk, then what is the force constant of the spring?

Answer:

k = \frac{2\cdot m \cdot g \cdot (d+x_{f})\cdot (\sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta)}{x_{f}^{2}}

Explanation:

Let assume that spring reaches its maximum compression at a height of zero. The system is modelled after the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem:

U_{g,A}=U_{k,B} + W_{f}

m\cdot g \cdot (d + x_{f})\cdot \sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x_{f}^{2}+\mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g \cdot (d+x_{f})\cdot \cos \theta

m\cdot g \cdot (d + x_{f})\cdot (\sin \theta-\mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x_{f}^{2}

The spring constant is cleared in the expression described above:

k = \frac{2\cdot m \cdot g \cdot (d+x_{f})\cdot (\sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta)}{x_{f}^{2}}

Thomas needs to move an 80 kg rock, but cannot lift it. He decides to use a
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

The weight of the rock is W = mg = (80 kg) (10 m/s²) = 800 N.

The mechanical advantage is therefore 800 N / 200 N = 4.

In a lab, four balls have the same velocities but different masses.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

New Momentum of Ball B=13.2 \frac{\mathrm{kgm}}{\mathrm{s}}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Mass of Ball A=1kg

Mass of Ball B= 2kg

Mass of Ball C=5kg

Mass of Ball D=7kg

Velocities of A=B=C=D=2.2\frac{m}{s}

Momentum of Ball A=2.2\frac{k g m}{s}

Momentum of Ball B=4.4 \frac{k g m}{s}

Momentum of Ball C=11\frac{k g m}{s}

Momentum of Ball D=15\frac{k g m}{s}

To Find:

Change in Momentum When of Ball B gets tripled

Solution:

Though all balls have same velocity, thus we get

Velocities of A=B=C=D=2.2\frac{m}{s}

Initial Momentum of Ball B=4.4\frac{k g m}{s}

If the Mass of Ball B gets tripled;

We get New Mass of Ball B=3×Actual Mass of the ball

                                            =3×2=6kg

Thus we get Mass of Ball B=6kg

According to the formula,  

Change in momentum of Ball B \Delta p=m \times \Delta v

Where \Delta p=change in momentum

          m=mass of the ball B

         \Delta v=change in velocity ball B

And \Delta v=v, since all balls, have same velocity

Thus the above equation, changes to

         \Delta p=m \times v

Substitute all the values in the above equation we get

         \Delta p=6 \times 2.2

                     =13.2 \frac{\mathrm{kgm}}{\mathrm{s}}  

Result:

 Thus the New Momentum of ball B=13.2 \frac{\mathrm{kgm}}{\mathrm{s}}

Which equation represents the law of conservation of energy in a closed system?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

KE + PE = KE + PE

Explanation:

In a closed system, the mechanical energy of the system is constant.

Mechanical energy is given by the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy; mathematically:

U = KE + PE

where

KE is the kinetic energy

PE is the potential energy

This means that if we consider two situations, one at the beginning and one at the end, the value of U will not change if the system is closed; this means that the sum KE + PE will remain the same, so we can write:

KE + PE = KE + PE
