D. The environment
Is the right answer
Answer:
a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m
Explanation:
Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm
Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m
Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m
Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J
b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J
c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.
d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036
mv^2 = 0.036*2
v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6
v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s
e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h
Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward
0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h
0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h
h = 0.18 m
So based on your question where there is a block of mass m1= 8.8kg in the inclined plane with an angle of 41 with respect to the horizontal. To find the spring constant of the problem were their is a coefficients of friction of 0.39 and 0.429, you must use the formula K*x^2=m*a*sin(angle). By calculating the minimum spring constant is 220.66 N/m^2
