Answer:
v₀ = 0.5058 m/s
Explanation:
From the question, for the block to hit the bottle, the elastic potential energy of the spring at the bottle (x = 0.08 m) should be equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy of the spring at x = 0.05 m and the kinetic energy of block at x = 0.05 m
Now, the potential energy of the block at x = 0.08 m is ½kx²
where;
k is the spring constant given by; k = ω²m
ω is the angular velocity of the oscillation
m is the mass of the block.
Thus, potential energy of the spring at the bottle(x = 0.08 m) is;
U = ½ω²m(0.08m)²
Also, potential energy of the spring at the bottle(x = 0.05 m) is;
U = ½ω²m(0.05m)²
and the kinetic energy of the block at x = 0.05 m is;
K = ½mv₀²
Thus;
½ω²m(0.08)² = ½ω²m(0.05)² + ½mv₀²
Inspecting this, ½m will cancel out to give;
ω²(0.08)² = ω²(0.05)² + v₀²
Making v₀ the subject, we have;
v₀ = ω√((0.08)² - (0.05)²)
So,
v₀ = 8.1√((0.08)² - (0.05)²)
v₀ = 0.5058 m/s
