Concept explainers

Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 12-m-high hill, then descends 15 m to the track's lowest point. You've determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum of 2.1 m and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 400 kg. For safety reasons, the spring constant should be 12% larger than the minimum needed for the car to just make it over the top. Part A Part B What is the maximum speed of a 340 kg car if the spring is compressed the full amount?

A freight company uses a compressed spring to shoot 1.80 kg packages up a 1.00-m -high frictionless ramp into a truck, as the figure(Figure 1) shows. The spring constant is 321 N/m and the spring is compressed 35.0 cm. What is the speed of the package when it reaches the truck? A careless worker spills his soda on the ramp. This creates a 50.0-cm-long sticky spot with a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.55. How high up the ramp will the package go after crossing the sticky spot?

A certain spring is found not to obey Hooke's law; it exerts a restoring force F(x) = -ax² - 6x³ if it is stretched or compressed, where: a = 10.0N/m², B = 300.0N/m³ The mass of the spring is negligible. Calculate the potential energy function U(x) for this spring, if U(x=0) = 0. Find the spring potential energy at x = 0.500 m
