- Consider a 3.2 kg block that is connected to the surface of the Earth with a vertical springthat has 760 N/m and a relaxed length of 2.2 m. Furthermore, the block is surrounded bya dense gas. At 0 s you pull the block to a height of 2.4 m and throw the block verticallydownward with a velocity of magnitude 6.6 m/s. The block first comes to momentaryrest at a height of 1.9 m.Write out a function for the amount of thermal energy that must be generated due toair resistance, and evaulate that function numerically.arrow_forwardAn object of mass, m = 56 kg starts to slide from rest on a curved ramp from height, H = 37 m above the end of the ramp (as shown in the figure). Consider the ramp to be frictionless and neglect the effects of air resistance. %3D H yend of ramp (a) What is the speed of the object at the end of the ramp?

A spring whose spring constant is kk is suspended from the ceiling. A block of mass MM hangs from the spring. A bullet of mass mm is fired vertically upward into the bottom of the block. The spring's maximum compression dd is measured from its initial suspended position.arrow_forward
- A slingshot, which can be modeled as a spring with spring constant k = 56.4 N/m, is stretched by 16 cm with respect to its equilibrium position and used to shoot a rock with mass 0.15 kg straight up into the air. Find the speed of the rock (in m/s) when it reaches a height which is 75% of its maximum height (relative to the position at which it was shot from). Use g = 9.81 m/s2. Hint: First find the maximum height, and then find the speed when the height is 75% of thatarrow_forwardThe problem uses the ideal spring force, in one dimension. F = -kx, where x is the deviation from equilibrium, and k is the spring constant. Calculate the particle's maximum speed (vmax), with these numbers: k = 2000 N/m = 2000 kg/s2 m = 5 kg (the mass of the particle) x0 = 0.2 m (the initial position) v0 = 5 m/s (the initial velocity) The all-too-common erroneous solution: v max = A ω = x 0 k / m = 0.2 m ⋅ 20 / s = 4 m/s .

- A box of mass m = 0.14 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of kį = 670 N/m which has been compressed by a distance of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 204 N/m. (a) How far, d, in meters, will the second spring compress when the box runs into it? (b) How fast, v in meters per second, will the box be moving when it strikes the second spring? (c) Now assume that the surface is rough (that is, not frictionless). You perform the experiment and observe| that the second spring only compresses a distance dy/2. How much energy, in joules, was lost to friction? marrow_forwardAbout 70 g of blood is pumped from a person's heart into the aorta during each heartbeat.
