A 190-g block is pressed against a spring of force constant 1.20 kN/m until the block compresses the spring 10.0 cm. The spring rests at the bottom of a ramp inclined at 60.0

Homework Answers

Answer #1

a)
initial potential energy of spring = final gravitational potential energy of block
kx^2 / 2 = mgy
kx^2 / 2 = mgLsin
L = kx^2 / [2mgsin]

L = (1200 N/m)(0.100 m)^2 / [2(0.190 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(sin60.0o)]
L = 3.717 m

b)
initial potential energy of spring = (work done by friction) + (final gravitational potential energy of block)
kx^2 / 2 = NL + mgy
kx^2 / 2 = mgLcos + mgLsin
L = kx^2 / [2mg(*cos + sin)]

L = (1200 N/m)(0.100 m)^2 / [2(0.190 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)((0.380)*cos60.0o + sin60.0o)]
L = 3.0483 m

A 350-g block is dropped onto a vertical spring with spring constant k =110.0 N/m. The block becomes attached to the spring, and the spring compresses 50.6 cm before momentarily stopping. The speed just before the block hits the spring is 8.4 m/s. The work done by the spring force is -14.1J. The work done by weight is 1.74 J. If the speed at impact is doubled, what is the maximum compression of the spring

A spring clamped to the table shoots a 130 g block directly into another 90 g steel block, this perfectly elastic collision will launch the second block up a ramp. When the spring is compressed 16 cm, the ball travels vertically up a 76 cm ramp and then compresses another (100 N/m) at the top, 8 cm. What then is the spring constant for the first spring? Assume that all surfaces are frictionless.
