This would be called the "Escape Velocity "
I'm almost positive the answer is a.
Answer:
Explanation:
Change in length of spring = 2.13 m
Component of weight acting on spring = mg sinθ
so
mg sinθ = k x where k is spring constant and x is total stretch due to force on the spring.
Here x = 2.13
mg sin17 = k x 2.13
31 x 9.8 sin17 = k x 2.13
k = 41.7 N/m
b ) In case surface had friction , spring would have stretched by less distance .
It is so because , the work done by gravity in stretching down is stored as potential energy in spring . In case of dissipative force like friction , it also takes up some energy in the form of heat etc so spring stretches less.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that, in an isolated system, energy remains constant and can not be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another. This law was created by Julius Robert Mayer.
