A bowling ball of mass m=1.7kg is launched from a spring compressed by a distance d=0.31m at an angle of theta=37 measured from

the horizontal. It is observed that the ball reaches a maximum height of h=4.9m, measured from the initial position of the ball. Let the gravitational potential energy be zero at the initial height of the bowling ball.
Part a) What is the spring constant k, in newtons per meter?

Part b) Calculate the speed of the ball, V0 in m/s, just after the launch.

Answer:

k = 1 700.7 N/m

v0 = 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Hello!

We can answer this question using conservation of energy.

The potential energy of the spring (PS) will transform to kinetic energy (KE) of the ball, and eventually, when the velocity of the ball is zero, all that energy will be potential gravitational (PG) energy.

When the kinetic energy of the ball is zero, that is, when it has reached its maximum heigh, all the potential energy of the spring will be equal to the potential energy of the gravitational field.

PS = (1/2) k x^2  <em>where x is the compresion or elongation of the spring</em>

PG = mgh

a)

Since energy must be conserved and we are neglecting any energy loss:

PS = PG

Solving for k

k = (2mgh)/(x^2) = ( 2 * 1.7 * 9.81 * 4.9 Nm)/(0.31^2 m^2)

k = 1 700.7 N/m

b)

Since the potential energy of the spring transfors to kinetic energy of the ball we have that:

PS = KE

that is:

(1/2) k x^2 = (1/2) m v0^2

Solving for v0

v0 = x √(k/m) = (0.31 m ) √( 1 700.7 N/m / 1.7kg)

v0 = 9.8 m/s^2

Answer:

The total distance is 381.5 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the expressions of kinematics. The clue to solve this problem is that the motorcyclist starts from rest, i.e. its initial speed is zero.

v_{f} =v_{o} +(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration = 2 [m/s²]

t = time = 7 [s]

Vf = 0 + (2*7)

Vf = 14 [m/s]

With this velocity, we can calculate the displacement using the following expression.

v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +2*a*x

where

x = distance traveled [m]

14² = 0 + (2*7*x)

x = 196/(14)

x = 14 [m]

Note: The positive sign in the equations is because the car is accelerating, it means its velocity is increasing.

The other important clue to solve this problem in the second part is that the final velocity is now the initial velocity.

We must calculate the final velocity.

v_{f}= v_{i} +(a*t)

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 14 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 4 [m/s²]

t = time = 8 [s]

Vf = 24 + (4*8)

Vf = 56 [m/s]

With this velocity, we can calculate the displacement using the following expression.

v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +2*a*x

where

x = distance traveled [m]

56² = 14² + (2*4*x)

x = 2940/(8)

x = 367.5 [m]

Note: The positive sign in the equations is because the car is accelerating, it means its velocity is increasing.

Therefore the total distance is Xt = 14 + 367.5 = 381.5 [m].
