Dang dude you are a soldier! Good job
Answer:
the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the box, m = 8.0 kg
final speed of the box, v = 10 m/s
Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the energy of the spring at the start;
Final Kinetic energy of the box = initial elastic potential energy of the spring
K.E = Ux
¹/₂mv² = Ux
¹/₂ x 8 x 10² = Ux
400 J = Ux
Therefore, the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.
V=d/t
V=?
d=400m(4)
=1600m
t=6 min.
=360 s
V=1600m/360s
V=4.4m/s
