Describe the importance of conservative forces to conservation of energy.

Physics
1 answer:
Andreyy893 years ago
4 0

Answer:

IF a force is conservative, it is possible to assign a numerical value for the potential at any point and conversely, when an object moves from one location to another, the force changes the potential energy of the object by an amount that does not depend on the path taken, contributing to the mechanical energy and the .

A 150kg person stands on a compression spring with spring constant 10000n/m and nominal length of 0.50.what is the total length
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

<em>The total length of the spring would be 0.65 m</em>

Explanation:

The Concept

Hooke's law evaluates the increment of  spring in relation to the force acting on the body. Hooke's law states that for a spring undergoing deformation, the  force applied is directly proportional to the deformation experienced by the spring. Hooke's law is represented thus;

F = k x ..................1

where F is the force applied to the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the spring stretch or extension

Step by Step Calculations

We have to obtain x before adding it to the nominal length, We make x the subject formula in equation 1;

x = F/k

but F = m x g

so, x = (m x g)/k

given that, the mass of the person m =150 kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^{2}

k is the spring constant = 10000 N/m

then x = (9.81 m/s^{2} x 150 kg)/10000 N/m

x = 0.14715 m

the extension experienced by the spring after the compression is 0.14715 m

The total length of the spring would be;

L = 0.14715 m + 0.5 m = 0.64715

L ≈  0.65 m

Therefore the total length of the spring would be 0.65 m
