A metal block of mass m slides on a horizontal surface that has been lubricated with a heavy oil such that the block su?ers a viscous resistance that varies as the three-halves power of the speed, that is, F(v) = −cv3/2. If the block is given an initial speed v0, calculate (a) the velocity as a function of time v(t) and (b) the velocity as a function of position. (c) Use these results to show that the block cannot travel farther than 2mv01/2 / c.

A block of mass ?=4.50 kg m=4.50 kg slides along a horizontal table with velocity ? 0 =2.50 m/s v0=2.50 m/s . At ?=0 x=0 , it hits a spring with spring constant ?=43.00 N/m k=43.00 N/m and it also begins to experience a friction force. The coefficient of friction is given by ?=0.300 μ=0.300 . How far has the spring compressed by the time the block first momentarily comes to rest? Assume the positive direction is to the right.

A.Your mass m=11 kg block slides down a frictionless ramp having angle theta=0.51 radians to the horizontal. After sliding down the ramp a distance L=16 m the block encounters a spring of spring constant k=551 N/m. The spring is parallel to the ramp. Use g=9.74 m/s/s for the acceleration of gravity. Calculate the maximum compression of the spring, in meters. Include labeled diagrams showing the initial and final configurations, and a discussion of the solution method based on energy conservation....

A 0.85 kg block slides 3.3 m across a frictionless, horizontal table at 2.2 m/s, moving left. Once the block hits the spring, it sticks, compressing the spring 70 cm before the block stops and reverses direction. The block then continues to bounce back and forth, still attached to the spring. The spring constant is 8.4 N/m. Ignore air resistance. (b) [3 points] Plot the velocity of the block as a function of time, with t = 0 when the...

A mass M slides downward along a rough plane surface inclined at angle \Theta\: Θ = 25.94 in degrees relative to the horizontal. Initially the mass has a speed V_0\: V 0 = 7.51 m/s, before it slides a distance L = 1.0 m down the incline. During this sliding, the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by friction is equal to the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by the gravitational force. What...

A block of mass m = 2.10 kg starts from the rest and slides down a 30.0∘ incline which is 3.60 m high. At the bottom, it strikes a block of mass M = 6.50 kg which is at rest on a horizontal surface (Figure 1). (Assume a smooth transition at the bottom of the incline.) The collision is elastic, and friction can be ignored. a) Determine the speed of the block with mass m = 2.10 kg after the...
