Physics students do an expriment to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between a wooden object and the horizontal table it is on. This object has a mass of 1.6 kg. The students push it against a spring, which compresses the spring by 18cm. When released, the spring sends the object moving across the table and it stops 82 cm from where it was released. The spring constant is 200 N/m. Find the obeject-table coefficient of kinetic friction.
You are an industrial engineer with a shipping
company. As part of the package-handling system, a
small box with mass 1.20 kg is placed against a light
spring that is compressed 0.280 m. The spring,
whose other end is attached to a wall, has force
constant k = 48.0 N/m. The spring and box are
released from rest, and the box travels along a
horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic
friction with the box is μ = 0.300. When the box has
traveled 0.280 m and the spring has reached its
equilibrium length, the box loses contact with the
spring.

- A 1.00-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P7.68a). The object has a speed of vi = 3.00 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Fig. P7.68b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Fig. P7.68c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Fig. P7.68d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the springs unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Fig. P7.68e). Find (a) the distance of compression d, (b) the speed v at the unstretched position when the object is moving to the left (Fig. P7.68d), and (c) the distance D where the object comes to rest.

- The ball launcher in a pinball machine has a spring that has a force constant of 1.23 N/cm. The surface on which the ball moves is in- clined 15.6◦ with respect to the horizontal. If the spring is initially compressed 3.58 cm, find the launching speed of a 0.19 kg ball when the plunger is released. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Friction and the mass of the plunger are negligible.arrow_forwardA 5 kg box rests on a tabletop. On one side, it compresses a spring with a stiffness of 1000 N/m by 1 cm.

The block of mass 8.94 kg lies on a horizontal surface and is connected to a spring of force constant 229 N/m. The system is released from rest when the spring is unstretched. If the hanging 13.8 kg block falls a distance 0.725 m before coming to rest, calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block m1 and the surface.

- To measure the static friction coefficient between a 1.6-kg block and a vertical wall. A spring (spring constant = 510 N/m) is attached to a block. Someone pushes on the end of he spring in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward. If the spring in such a setup is compressed by 0.039 m, what is the coefficient of static friction?arrow_forwardA horizontal force of 80.0 N is applied to a 5.00 kg block as the block slides a distance of 0.800 m along a horizontal floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is 0.500. If the block is initially at rest, how fast is it moving at the end of the displacement?arrow_forwardA 1.0 kg pendulum block at the end of a 1.0 m long rope(assume rope has no mass). When the 1.0 kg mass hangs vertically undisturbed it is in contact with a second block that sits on a flat horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the second block and the horizontal surface is 0.15 for kinetic friction and 0.40 for static friction. The 1.0 kg mass is pulled back to an angle of 60. degrees with respect to the vertical and let go. At the lowest point in its swing, it hits the block. After the collision (which takes 0.070 seconds) the 1.0 kg block bounces off the second block and swings back up to an angle of 12 degrees. What is the maximum mass that the second block can have if it moves after the collision?arrow_forward
