The answer to the question is A
Answer:
3.258 m/s
Explanation:
k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)
x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)
= Coefficient of friction = 0.4
Energy stored in spring is given by

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s
True
It is True I took the test
The correct answer is A. 250N
Work is a product of force and distance.
That is, work done=force×distance
Therefore substituting for the values in the question:
500J=force×2m
force= 500Nm/2m=250N
another unit for work done is Nm as force as the SI unit of force is newtons and distance in meters
