Answer:
The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m
Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.
The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring
The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved
Explanation:
The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.
As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .
x = compression of the spring = 0.89
To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:
Where,
indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,
I is the resulting intensity, and
indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.
Since we have two objects the law would be,
Replacing the values,
Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is
