Question

A librarian pushes a heavy textbook (with mass 3 kg) across a rough table (which has a coefficient of friction μk=1). If the book leaves his hand with speed 5 m/s and slides 2 m across the table towards a spring (with constant k = 6 N/m), what is the maximum compression of the spring?

A block with mass m = 14 kg rests on a frictionless table and is accelerated by a spring with spring constant k = 4399 N/m after being compressed a distance x1 = 0.468 m from the spring’s unstretched length. The floor is frictionless except for a rough patch a distance d = 2 m long. For this rough path, the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.48. 1)How much work is done by the spring as it accelerates the...

A box with mass M=10 kg is on a table with coefficient of friction μ=0.1. The box starts moving with velocity V=10 m/s toward a spring with the spring which is fixed on a wall at the end of the table and has a spring constant k=1 N/m. The box reaches the spring after moving distance d=10 cm on the table. a) Find the velocity u=? of the box when it reaches the spring? b) What is the maximum compression...

A box with mass 1.74 kg is being pulled across a rough surface at a constant speed with a coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.366. The pulling force has a magnitude of 11.2 N and is directed at an angle 32.8 degrees above horizontal. If the box is dragged a distance of 10.3 m, what is the total energy lost to friction? (Hint: be sure to account for the upward component of the pulling force, and note that the...

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 ground under the spring is frictionless, but the 2.0 m wide horizontal surface is rough with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.25. a. What is the speed of the box just before reaching the rough surface? b. What is the speed of the box just before...

A 1.1 kg mass compresses a spring by a distance 0.25 m. The mass is released from rest. The mass travels over equal patches of rough surfaces with coefficient of friction μk=0.15 and length 0.5m. If the spring constant of the spring is 770 N/m, how many (including the decimal fraction) mats does it take to stop the mass?

1. An object with a mass m = 2.0 kg placed on a rough horizontal plane is connected to a spring with a spring constant k = 1000 N/m. When shrinking the spring x = 2.0 cm after releasing your hand, answer the following questions. Note, the friction coefficient is μ = 0.50. (1) Find the work Ws that the spring did before returning to it's natural length. (2) Find the work Wf that the frictional force did during this...

A box of mass 730 kg is being pulled at a constant speed across a rough horizontal floor by a constant force, F. The angle of this force above the horizontal is such that the force you apply is a minimum (that is, the amount of force you need to move the box at a constant speed across the floor depends on the angle at which you pull - find the angle which the force is a minimum). Calculate the...

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.
