A horizontal spring with spring constant 200N/m is compressed by 15cm and used to launch a 2kg box across a frictionless horizon

tal surface. After the box travels some distance, the surface becomes rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on the surface is 0.2. Use work and energy to find how far the box slides across the rough surface before stopping.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant k=200N/m

Compression x = 15cm = 0.15m

Attached mass m =2kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction uk= 0.2

The energy in the spring is given as

U =½kx²

U = ½ × 200 × 0.15²

U = 2.25J

Force in the spring is given by Hooke's law

F = ke

F = 200×0.15

F = 30N

The weight of body which is equal to the normal is give as

W = mg

W = 2 × 9.81

W = 19.62N

W = N = 19.62 Newton's 2nd Law

From law of friction,

Fr = uk•N

Fr = 0.2 × 19.62

Fr = 3.924

Using newton second law again

Fnet = F - Fr

Fnet = 30 - 3.924

Fnet = 26.076

Work done by net force is given as

W = Fnet × d

W = 26.076d

Then, the work done by this net force is equal to the energy in the spring

W = U

26.076d = 2.25

d = 2.25/26.076

d = 0.0863m

Which is 8.63cm

So the box will slide 8.63cm before stopping

Responsible for weather patterns on earth is what convention, radiation, conduction?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Convection. Convection is the transfer of heat energy in a fluid. ... As the rock's temperature rises due to conduction, heat energy is released into the atmosphere, forming a bubble of air which is warmer than the surrounding air. This bubble of air rises into the atmosphere.

Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.390 mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Y = 5.03 x 10⁻³ m = 5.03 mm

Explanation:

Using Young's Double-slit formula:

Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}

where,

Y = Fringe Spacing = Width of bright fringe = ?

λ =  wavelength = 633 nm = 6.33 x 10⁻⁷ m

L = Screen distance = 3.1 m

d = slit width = 0.39 mm = 3.9 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

Y = \frac{(6.33\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(3.1\ m)}{3.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>Y = 5.03 x 10⁻³ m = 5.03 mm</u>

A horizontal 52-n force is needed to slide a 50-kg box across a flat surface at a constant velocity of 3.5 m/s. What is the coef
3241004551 [841]

Answer: 0.61

Explanation:

This is calculation based on friction.

Since the box rests on a flat surface, the force that exists between them is known as frictional force.

Since the friction is dynamic (velocity is not zero)

The frictional force = kinetic energy gained by the body.

Ff = 1/2mv^2

coefficient of kinetic friction × normal reaction = 1/2mv^2

Since normal reaction is equal to the weight(force acting along the vertical component)

Normal reaction= mg = 50 × 10 = 500N. Therefore,

coefficient of kinetic friction × 500 = 1/2×50×3.5^2

coefficient of kinetic friction = 50×3.5^2/1000

coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.61

In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because _____.
grandymaker [24]
In a real system of levers, wheel or pulleys, the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) is less than the IMA (ideal mechanical advantage) because of the presence of friction.

In fact, the IMA and the AMA of a machine are defined as the ratio between the output force (the load) and the input force (the effort):
IMA= \frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}}
however, the difference is that the IMA does not take into account the presence of frictions, while the AMA does. As a result, the output force in the AMA is less than the output force in the IMA (because some energy is dissipated due to friction), and the AMA is less than the IMA.
