Question
An object of mass M= 6.0 kg, initially at rest, is pressed against a spring with spring constant k =12,000 N/m, compressed a distance d = 0.12m from equilibrium. The mass and the spring are located at the top of a hill of height, h = 2.0 m. The mass is released and as the spring decompresses the mass slides down the frictionless hill and then encounters a horizontal patch of ground with unknown coefficient of kinetic friction μk. a. What is the speed of the mass just before it encounters the rough patch of ground? b. The mass comes to rest a distance L = 8 m after encountering the patch of ground. What is the coefficient of friction, μk ?

- A block of mass m = 3.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 580 N/m. It is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 26° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.13. In the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.18 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. Take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero.a. If the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, L in meters, will the block travel before coming to rest?

- Let's say we have a spring with a constant of K= 300 N/m and this spring is attached to the incline at the top making an angle of θ=44.0° with the horizontal. Now, after we have this problem, there is a projectile that has a mass of 1 kg that is pointing up the plane. The initial position of this projectile is d = 1.3 m and it is from the end 0f a uncompressed spring. Answer the following questions: Let’s say the incline has no friction at all and given the kinetic energy for the projectile is 15 J. How much c0mpression will the spring receive? Let's say we have a coefficient of friction = 0.300 and the spring will have to c0mpress 1.10 the instant the projectile stops..in order for this to happen, what should be the initial speed of the projectile?arrow_forwardA mass of m = 0.500 kg slides across a horizontal frictionless counter with a speed vo= 0.300 m/s.
