components of the speed of the coin is given as
now the time taken by the coin to reach the plate is given by
now in order to find the height
so it is placed at 1.52 m height
Answer:
The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping
Explanation:
As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.
So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.
Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So
1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².
Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have
1/2kx² = mgh
h = kx²/2mg
= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)
= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N
= 0.0259 m
= 2.59 cm
≅ 2.6 cm
So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping
38*10=380 N
To be more exact, 38 should be multiplied by 9.8 instead of 10.
