A 0.300 kg block is pressed against a spring with a spring constant of 8050 N/m until the spring is compressed by 6.00 cm. When

released, the block slides along a horizontal surface that is frictionless except for a 7.00 m long rough section.
a) The block comes to a stop exactly at the end of the rough section. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough section?

b) The rough section is now polished, so that the entire track is frictionless. The block slides along the surface and into the circular loop at the end. If the normal force between the loop and the block is 90.0 N when the block reaches point P (the exact top of the loop), what is the radius R of the circular loop?

Answer:

a) \mu_{k} = 0.704, b) R = 0.312\,m

Explanation:

a) The minimum coeffcient of friction is computed by the following expression derived from the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2} = \mu_{k}\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \Delta s

\mu_{k} = \frac{k\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \Delta s}

\mu_{k} = \frac{\left(8050\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot (0.06\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (7\,m)}

\mu_{k} = 0.704

b) The speed of the block is determined by using the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}

v = x\cdot \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

v = (0.06\,m)\cdot \sqrt{\frac{8050\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.3\,kg} }

v \approx 9.829\,\frac{m}{s}

The radius of the circular loop is:

\Sigma F_{r} = -90\,N -(0.3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} ) = -(0.3\,kg)\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

\frac{\left(9.829\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}}{R} = 309.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

R = 0.312\,m

What happens to the density of a given substance if you increase the amount of the substance that you have?
Amanda [17]
Have you ever looked up the density of a substance ?  You ought to try it.  Go ahead. Pick a substance, then go online or open up an actual book and find its density.  You will never see any particular volume mentioned along with the density . . . because it doesn't matter.  The whole idea of density is that it describes the substance, no matter how much or how little you have of it.  The density of a tiny drop of water under a microscope is the same as the density of a supertanker-ful of water.

How does deformation by drawing of a semicrystalline polymer affect its tensile strength?
Elenna [48]
This effect is explained by increased chain entanglements at higher molecular weights. Increasing the degree of crystallinity of a semicrystalline polymer leads to an enhancement of the tensile strength. Deformation by drawing increases the tensile strength of a semicrystalline polymer.

Mo is on a baseball team and hears that a ball thrown at a 45 degree angle from the ground will travel the furthest distance. Ho
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Usually the angle between the y axis  and x axis is 90° and we know that for furthest travel the degree angle must be 45° with the horizontal, Mo must release the ball about halfway between straight ahead and straight up

Why does eating less meat conserve more water than just eating plants?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Studies show that eating fewer animal-based products could reduce water use since animal production uses more water than crops do. In addition, reducing the amount of food that's lost or wasted at various points in the food supply chain could feed about 1 billion extra people while simultaneously reducing water use.
