Given:

mass of the box = 200kg
velocity of the moving box = 5m/s
height of the box = 1m

Required:

The comparison of the kinetic energy and potential energy

Solution:

Kinetic energy can be calculated using the formula:

KE = 0.5(mass)(velocity)²
KE = 0.5(200kg)(5m/s)²
KE = 2500 Joules

Potential energy can be calculated using the formula:

PE = (mass)(gravity)(height)
PE = (200kg)(9.8m/s²)(1m)
PE = 1960 Joules

At the given conditions, the kinetic energy is greater than the potential energy. This means that the total energy is spent to move horizontally rather than vertically.

It takes 500 J of work to compress a spring 10 cm. What is the force constant of the spring? (b) When a 3.0 kg block is pushed a
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Energy stored in spring = 1/2 k x² = .5 x k 0.1²

500 = 5 x 10⁻³ k ,

k = (500/5) x 10³ = 10⁵ N/m

b )

k = 4.5 x 10¹ = 45 N/m

Stored energy = 1/2 k x² = .5 x 45 x 8² x 10⁻⁴ =1440 x 10⁻⁴ J

This energy gets dissipated by friction .

work done by friction = μ mg d

d is the distance traveled under friction

so 1440 x 10⁻⁴ = μ x 3 x 9.8 x 2

μ = 245 x 10⁻⁴  or 0.00245 which appears to be very small. .
