A 25 kg box on a horizontal frictionless surface is moving to the right at a speed of 5.0 m s. The box hits and remains attached

to one end of a spring of negligible mass whose other end is attached to a wall. As a result, the spring compresses a maximum distance of 0.60 m. (a) i. The spring does work on the box from the moment the box first hits the spring to the moment the spring first reaches its maximum compression. Indicate whether the work done by the spring is positive, negative, or zero.

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done by the spring is negative .

Work done by force F creating displacement  d is given by the following expression .

Work = F x d

Both force and displacement are vector quantity .

When direction of force and direction of displacement is same , work is positive . When direction of force and direction of displacement is opposite , work is negative .

When spring is compressed , it exerts a restoring or opposing force in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement of box . Hence here force is opposite to displacement . Restoring force acts opposite to displacement . Hence work done by spring on box is negative .

Infer whether a system can have kinetic energy and potential energy at the same time
Rasek [7]
Yes, an object can have both of these at the same time. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object. Kinetic energy is the energy that is associated with motion. So what you have to have is an object that is in motion but still has more energy that it has yet to convert into kinetic energy.

An object, when pushed with a net force F, has an acceleration of 4 m/s . Now twice the force is applied to an object that has f
hjlf

Answer:

B. 2 m/s

B. Acceleration = 4.05 m/s² and Tension = 297.5 N.

Explanation:

A force is applied on a mass m whose acceleration is 4 m/s

Force = mass × acceleration

a = F/m = 4 m/s

4 m/s = F/m

F = 4 m/s (m)

If  Force of 2F is applied on a mass of 4m ; it acceleration is as follows:

2F/4 m = F/ 2m

4m/s (m) / 2m = 2 m/s

a = 2 m/s

2.

Given that

mass m_1 = 30 kg

mass m_2 = 50 kg

\mu = 0.1

From the question; we can arrive at two cases;

That :

m_{2} a _ \ {net} }= m_2g - T   ----- equation (1)

m_{1} a _ \ {net} }=  T - mg sin \theta  - F ---- equation (2)

50 a = 50 g - T

30 a = T - 30 g sin 30 - 4 × 30 g cos 30

By summation

80 a =[ 50  - 30 * \frac{1}{2} - 0.1 *30* \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]g

80 a = 32. 4 × 10 m/s ²  (using g as 10m/s²)

80 a = 324 m/s ²

a = 324/80

a = 4.05 m/s²

From equation , replace a with 4.05

50 × 4.05 = 50 × 10 - T

T = 500 -202.5

T =297.5 N
