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.

A block slides along a track with an initial velocity vo = 7.0 m/s from one level to a higher level after passing through an intermediate valley. The difference h from the initial position to the elevated track is 0.89 m. The track is frictionless until reaches the top. There (at the top), a frictional force stops the block in a distance d. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.60. Find the distance d.

A 4.25 kg block is projected at 5.40 m/s up a plane that is inclined at 30.0° with the horizontal. The block slides some distance up the incline, stops turns around and slides back down to the bottom. When it reaches the bottom of the incline again, it is traveling with a speed of 3.80 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.500, how far up the incline did the block slide?
Problem 2. A bobsleigh 4-man crew accelerates their vehicle to V0=5 m/s before jumping into it and sliding down the racetrack. The total mass of the vehicle and crew is m=630 kg. The runners are made of steel and the kinetic friction coefficient between steel and snow is 0.05. The length of the racetrack is L=1,300m and its vertical drop from start to end is H=115m. a) Ignoring friction and air resistance, what would be the final speed of the bobsleigh at the bottom of the racetrack in m/s, km/h, mph? Does this result depend on the shape of the racetrack? b) Ignoring air resistance but accounting for friction, what would be the final speed of the bobsleigh at the bottom of the racetrack in m/s, km/h, mph? Assume a straight linear racetrack.

A 68.3-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 52.6° above the horizontal. The cannon uses strong elastic bands to propel the performer, much in the same way that a slingshot fires a stone. Setting up for this stunt involves stretching the bands by 2.00 m from their unstrained length. At the point where the performer flies free of the bands, his height above the floor is the same as that of the net into which he is shot. He takes 2.38 s to travel the horizontal distance of 21.3 m between this point and the net. Ignore friction and air resistance and determine the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism.
