In a warehouse, the workers sometimes slide boxes along the floor to move them. Two boxes were sliding toward each other and cra

shed. The crash caused both boxes to change speed. Based on the information in the diagram, which statement is correct? In your answer, explain what the forces were like and why the boxes changed speed.
Plz, write 4-5 sentences. God bless you and your family and your Girlfriend.

Answer:

Box 1 has more mass than box 2.

Explanation:

Box 1 has more mass than box 2, as it caused a greater affect in the change of speed of box 2. During a collision, the object with a lesser mass will be affected more, causing the velocity to change more. Because box one is greater than box 2, it caused a larger change in speed when they collided.

A 4.87-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 3.21 m with a speed of 5.21 m/s onto a spring with k = 1570 N/m. The

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $0.560\; {\rm m}$ , assuming that:

the height of $3.21\; {\rm m}$ refers to the distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.
air resistance on the clay sphere is negligible,
the gravitational field strength is $g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ , and
the clay sphere did not deform.

Explanation:

Notations:

Let $k$ denote the spring constant of the spring.
Let $m$ denote the mass of the clay sphere.
Let $v$ denote the initial speed of the spring.
Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength.
Let $h$ denote the initial vertical distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.

Let $x$ denote the maximum compression of the spring- the only unknown quantity in this question.

After being compressed by a displacement of $x$ , the elastic potential energy $\text{PE}_{\text{spring}}$ in this spring would be:

$\displaystyle \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} = \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}$ .

The initial kinetic energy $\text{KE}$ of the clay sphere was:

$\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}$ .

When the spring is at the maximum compression:

The clay sphere would be right on top of the spring.
The top of the spring would be below the original position (when the spring was uncompressed) by $x$ .
The initial position of the clay sphere, however, is above the original position of the top of the spring by $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ .

Thus, the initial position of the clay sphere ( $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ above the top of the uncompressed spring) would be above the max-compression position of the clay sphere by $(h + x)$ .

The gravitational potential energy involved would be:

$\text{GPE} = m\, g\, (h + x)$ .

No mechanical energy would be lost under the assumptions listed above. Thus:

$\text{PE}_\text{spring} = \text{KE} + \text{GPE}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2} + m\, g\, (h + x)$ .

Rearrange this equation to obtain a quadratic equation about the only unknown, $x$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} - m\, g\, x - \left[\left(\frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2}\right)+ (m\, g\, h)\right] = 0$ .

Substitute in $k = 1570\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}$ , $m = 4.87\; {\rm kg}$ , $v = 5.21\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ , $g = 9.81\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}$ , and $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ . Let the unit of $x$ be meters.

$785\, x^{2} - 47.775\, x - 219.453 \approx 0$ (Rounded. The unit of both sides of this equation is joules.)

Solve using the quadratic formula given that $x \ge 0$ :

$\begin{aligned}x &\approx \frac{-(-47.775) + \sqrt{(-47.775)^{2} - 4 \times 785 \times (-219.453)}}{2 \times 785} \\ &\approx 0.560\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}$ .

(The other root is negative and is thus invalid.)

Hence, the maximum compression of this spring would be approximately $0.560\; {\rm m}$ .
