Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
(c) K.E. = 21.168 J
(d) 
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg
- initial velocity of the block,

- constant downward acceleration,

That a constant upward acceleration of
is applied in the presence of gravity.
∴
- height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m
(a)
Force by the cord on the block,



∴Work by the cord on the block,


We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

(b)
Force on the block due to gravity:

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it


∴Work by the gravity on the block,



(c)
Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.
mathematically:


K.E. = 21.168 J
(d)
From the equation of motion:

putting the respective values:

is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.

Answer:
Potential energy of spring = 24 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Spring constant = 85N/m
Extension, e = 0.75m
Mass = 25kg
To find the potential energy of a spring
Potential energy of a spring is given by the formula;
P.E = ½ke²
Substituting into the equation, we have
P.E = ½*85*0.75²
P.E = 42.5 * 0.5625
P.E = 23.91 ≈ 24 Joules
P.E = 24 Joules
Answer:
yes
Explanation:
objects with constant velocity also have zero net external force. this means the forces on the object are balanced. this mean they are in equilibrium
