The potential energy of the block is given by:
V = m*g*h
m mass
g = 9.81m/s²
h height
The potential energy of a spring is given by:
V = 0.5 * k * x²
k spring constant
x compression of the spring
If the block starts from rest it has potential energy, but no kinetic energy. As it slides down the incline potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. When the block hits the spring the kinetic energy is converted into spring's potential energy. If the spring is fully compressed and the block is at rest again, the block has transferred all its energy into the spring. No energy is lost. So we can write:
m * g * h = 0.5 * k * x²
m = 0.5 kg
g = 9.81 m/s²
h = 2.5m * sin 37° = 1,5 m
x = 0,6 m
Solve for k.
k = 2 * m * g * h / x² = 40.8 N/m
Energy cannot be created nor be destroyed
Answer:90N
Explanation:
Mass=30kg
Centripetal acceleration=3m/s^2
centripetal force=mass x centripetal acceleration
Centripetal force=30 x 3
Centripetal force =90
Centripetal force =90N
Answer:
A dependent variable is a variable that is tested in an experiment. An independent variable is that can be modified. Depending on what you are testing, the dependent variable will change accordingly to the dependent variable.
