Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
k = 130 N/m,
= 17 cm = 0.17 m (as 1 m = 100 cm)
mass (m) = 2.8 kg
When the spring is compressed then energy stored in it is as follows.
Energy = 
Now, spring energy gets converted into kinetic energy when the box is launched.
So,
= 
= 

= 1.34
v = 1.15 m/sec
Now,
Frictional force = 
= 
= 4.116 N
Also, Kinetic energy = work done by friction
1.8515 =
d = 0.449 m
Thus, we can conclude that the box slides 0.449 m across the rough surface before stopping.
A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.
If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Answer:
EP = 49.05Joules (J)
Explanation:
The equation for Potential energy (EP) is
EP = m g h
We are given the values below (do convert them into SI units)
m = 0.0025kg
h = 2000m
g = 9.81m/
Substitute the values into the equation and solve for EP
EP = 0.0025 * 2000 * 9.81
EP = 49.05Joules (J)
