A lightweight vertical spring of force constant k has its lower end mounted on a table. You compress the spring by a distance d,

place a block of mass m on top of the compressed spring, and then release the block. The spring launches the block upward, and the block rises to a maximum height some distance above the now-relaxed spring. Find the speed of the block just as it loses contact with the spring.

Answer:

v=d\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we can do an analysis of the energies involved in the system. Basically the addition of the initial potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the mass should be the same as the addition of the final potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the block. So we get the following equation:

U_{0}+K_{0}=U_{f}+K_{f}

In this case, since the block is moving from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. When the block loses contact with the spring, the final potential energy of the spring will be zero, so the equation simplifies to:

U_{0}=K_{f}

The initial potential energy of the spring is given by the equation:

U_{0}=\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}

the Kinetic energy of the block is then given by the equation:

K_{f}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}

so we can now set them both equal to each other, so we get:

=\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}

This new equation can be simplified if we multiplied both sides of the equation by a 2, so we get:

kd^{2}=mv_{f}^{2}

so now we can solve this for the final velocity, so we get:

v=d\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

if a stone is projected at an angle of 50 degrees to the horizontal with an initial velocity of 50m/s, what is the vertical comp
Vilka [71]

Answer:

38.3 m/s

Explanation:

To find vertical component of initial velocity, you'd have to use sine ratio:

\displaystyle{\sin \theta = \dfrac{u_y}{u}}

\displaystyle{u_y} is vertical component of initial velocity and \displaystyle{u} is initial velocity given which is 50 m/s.

A stone is projected at an angle of 50 degrees so \displaystyle{\theta} = 50°. Substitute in the formula:

\displaystyle{\sin 50^{\circ} = \dfrac{u_y}{50}}\\\\\displaystyle{50 \sin 50^{\circ} = u_y}\\\\\displaystyle{u_y = 38.3 \ \, \sf{m/s}}

Therefore, the vertical component of initial velocity is approximately 38.3 m/s

REY [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Given that your boat departs from the bank of a river that has a swift current parallel to its banks. If you want to cross this river in the shortest amount of time, you should direct your boat: so that it drifts with the current.

If the boat moves perpendicular to the current, the current flow will be the resistance to the movement of the boat. So, it's better for the boat to drifts perpendicularly with the current.

The best answer is therefore option D.
