True. Though typically crack deals take place in a car, or in an alley. The middle of a long block is kind of exposed. It could happen anywhere in Chicago though.
But yeah, criminals structure crime.
Answer:
Explanation:
potential energy of compressed spring
= 1/2 k d²
= 1/2 x 730 d²
= 365 d²
This energy will be given to block of mass of 1.2 kg in the form of kinetic energy .
Kinetic energy after crossing the rough patch
= 1/2 x 1.2 x 2.3²
= 3.174 J
Loss of energy
= 365 d² - 3.174
This loss is due to negative work done by frictional force
work done by friction = friction force x width of patch
= μmg d , μ = coefficient of friction , m is mass of block , d is width of patch
= .44 x 1.2 x 9.8 x .05
= .2587 J
365 d² - 3.174 = .2587
365 d² = 3.4327
d² = 3.4327 / 365
= .0094
d = .097 m
= 9.7 cm
If friction increases , loss of energy increases . so to achieve same kinetic energy , d will have to be increased so that initial energy increases so compensate increased loss .
Here in this case we can use work energy theorem
As per work energy theorem
Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic Energy of the object
Total kinetic energy of the solid sphere is ZERO initially as it is given at rest.
Final total kinetic energy is sum of rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy

also we know that


Now kinetic energy is given by





Now by work energy theorem
Work done = 10500 - 0 = 10500 J
So in the above case work done on sphere is 10500 J
