It heads up the frictionless hill of height h and reaches the top. The top is rough with coefficient of kinetic friction μk over a distance d. After the rough patch, there is a spring of spring constant k. Ignore air resistance. a) Assume that the block does not make it through the rough patch. Determine the length L that it travels through the rough patch before coming to rest. b) For the situation in (a), what is the work done by non-conservative forces? c) Now assume that the block does make it through the rough patch.

- 26. ao The drawing shows three situations in which a block is attached to a spring. The position labeled “O m" represents the unstrained position of the spring. The block is moved from an initial position x, to a final position x, the magnitude of the displacement being denoted by the sym- bol s. Suppose the spring has a spring constant of k = 46.0 N/m. Using the data provided in the drawing, determine the total work done by the restoring force of the spring for each situation.

Calculate the displacement or extension of the spring.arrow_forwardAfter the first snow of the year, you decide to go sledding. You find a hill that is 39 m high to slide down. After a couple trips, you want to go faster, so you rig up a bungee cord to give you a head start N at the top of the hill. The bungee cord can be treated as a spring with a spring constant of 160 You have a mass of 90 kg and you compress your "spring" by a distance of 1.9 m before beginning your ride. There is no friction at the top of the hill or on the hill. Bungee/spring Conservation of Energy Straw-covered portion What is your speed at the top of the hill after you leave the "spring"? m Vtop = What is your speed after sliding to the bottom of the hill? Vbottom = S At the bottom of the hill, you reach a horizontal section where the ground is covered in straw. This straw adds friction to slow the sled down. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the sled is 0.68. How far do you slide along the straw until you come to a complete stop? d =arrow_forward
