Answer:
The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of block = 1.60 kg
Angle = 30.0°
Distance = 6.55 m
Speed = 7.50 m/s
Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.50
We need to calculate the amount of potential energy
Using formula of conservation of energy between point A and B



Put the value into the formula


Hence, The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.
Answer: Distance= 100,000 km
Mass= 15 million kg Mass= 5 million kg
Answer:
3.258 m/s
Explanation:
k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)
x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)
= Coefficient of friction = 0.4
Energy stored in spring is given by

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s
D is the correct answer!!
