3. (10pts) A spring, with a spring constant of 5710 N/m, is compressed by

0.45 m and used to launch a 15.5 kg mass from rest from point A across

a frictionless surface and down a short hill that is H = 1.73 m high. The

surface becomes rough at point B, and the mass comes to a stop at point

C.

(a) (5pts) How much work was done by friction between B and C?

(b) (5pts) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the

rough surface is 0.53, how far will it travel before coming to rest? That

is, determine the distance between point B and point C.

Answer #1

v.-0m/s Between point A and B the energy is conserved. So, mgh+mv But between point B and C the energy is not conserved, as a non -conservative force i.e frictional force is acting between these two points The work done by the frictional force is given by the change in mechanical energy But vc -Om/s fiction (15.5 kg×9.8 m/s* x1.73m)+? x5710 Ninx(0.45)2m2 Wfrrton =-840.92 J Hence the work done by the frictional force is -840.923

W. 840.92 freton friction BC Hr Hg 0.53x15.5x9.8 UTE Dac-10.45m Hence the distance between point B and C is 10.45 m

    A horizontal spring with spring constant 130 N/m is compressed 19 cm and used to launch a 2.8 kg box across a frictionless, horizontal surface. After the box travels some distance, the surface becomes rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on the surface is 0.15. Use work and energy to find how far the box slides across the rough surface before stopping. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

    A spring with spring constant 28 N/m is compressed a distance of 7.5 cm by a ball with a mass of 201.5 g (see figure below). The ball is then released and rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface, leaving the spring at point A. The process is repeated, using a block instead, with a mass identical to that of the ball. The block compresses the spring by 7.5 cm and is also released, leaving the spring at point A....

    Please show all work 1. A horizontal massless spring with spring constant 300 N/m is compressed 20 cm. The spring launches the block of mass 1 kg. When the block reaches the other side of the room it compresses a massless spring 600 N/m as shown in the figure. The surface is frictionless except the small part of length 2m, which has a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.2. Find the maximum compression of the spring 600 N/m. 300 N/m 600N/m...

    A 5.0 kg box slides down a 5.0-m-high frictionless hill, starting from rest, across a 2.0-m-wide horizontal surface, then hits a horizontal spring with spring constant 500 N/m. The other end of the spring is anchored against a wall. The ground under the spring is frictionless, but the 2.0-m-wide horizontal surface is rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on this surface is 0.25. (a) What is the speed of the box just before reaching the rough surface?...

    A spring with a spring constant of 718 N/m lies on a horizontal surface and that surface is y = 0 m to calculate the gravitational potential energy. A mass of 3 kg is compressed 0.45 meters into the spring and held still. After the mass is released it slides over a horizontal surface in which a 3.4 meter portion of the surface has friction with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.30. After the horizontal surface, it travels up...

    Cart A (mass 2.0 kg) and Cart B (mass 3.0 kg) are separated by a compressed spring and attached to each other by a string. Initially they are sitting at rest on a frictionless surface. When the string is burned, Cart A moves to the left at 1.5 m/s. Cart B moves to the right and encounters a rough surface. Cart B comes to a stop after traveling a distance of 0.35 m on the rough surface. What is the...

    A block of mass 3 kg is pushed against a spring of spring constant 3000 N/m. Initially, the spring is compressed by a distance of 0.220 m, when the block is released from rest and travels along a horizontal frictionless surface before encountering a frictionless ramp, inclined at an angle of 37° above the horizontal. How far along the ramp does the block travel before momentarily coming to rest?
