1.A particle of mass 6-kg moves under the influence of the force F(x)=(4√x)F(x)=(4x) N. If its speed at x=2.0x=2.0 m is v=7v=7 m/s, what is its speed at x=7.0x=7.0 m? v = m/s 2. A 102-kg man is skiing across level ground at a speed of 14.5 m/s when he comes to the small slope 1.8 m higher than ground level shown in the following figure. If the skier coasts up the hill, what is his speed when he reaches the top plateau? Assume friction between the snow and skis is negligible.v=v= m/s What is his speed when he reaches the upper level if an 80-N frictional force acts on the skis?v=v= m/s
A block with mass m = 12 kg rests on a frictionless table and is accelerated by a spring with spring constant k = 4599 N/m after being compressed a distance x1 = 0.45 m from the spring’s unstretched length. The floor is frictionless except for a rough patch a distance d = 2.7 m long. For this rough path, the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.41. 1) How much work is done by friction as the block crosses the rough spot? 2) Instead, the spring is only compressed a distance x2 = 0.117 m before being released. How far into the rough path does the block slide before coming to rest? 3) What distance does the spring need to be compressed so that the block will just barely make it past the rough patch when released?
If a spring is stretched 2.2 cm by a suspended object having a mass of 0.40 kg, what is the force constant of the spring? How much work is done by the spring on the object as it stretches through this distance? Evaluate the work done by the gravitational force on the object (in J).
When a spring is stretched to X 1 =14.7 m the force applied is 1 N. If stretched a length X 2 =16.7 m , the force is measured to be N. How much energy is stored in the spring when it is stretched to 16.7 m?
The spring in a retractable ballpoint pen is 1.8 cm long, with a 320 N/m spring constant. When the pen is retracted, the spring is compressed by 1.0 mm. When you click the button to extend the pen, you compress the spring by an additional 5.0 mm. How much energy is required to extend the spring?
A spring with spring constant k hangs from the ceiling. A ball of mass m is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is then pulled down a distance A and released from rest. Denote the maximum velocity of the mass as vmax. What is the total mechanical energy of the spring mass system?
A 2 kg block is on top of a 10 m high table and loaded onto a spring (with spring constant k = 50 N/m) compressed 10 cm from the equilibrium and then released. The block travels on the frictionless table and lands on the ground. What is the total work done by all forces acting on the block from the initial position at the spring to the final position just before the block lands on the ground?
Answer parts a, b and c of the following question.7. a) You want to store 1,000 J of energy in an ideal spring when it is compressed by only 2.5 cm. What should be the force constant (spring constant) of this spring? b) A very light ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant) of 8.2 N/cm is used to lift a 2.2-kg tool with an upward acceleration of 3.25 m/s2. If the spring has negligible length when it us not stretched, how long is it while it is pulling the tool upward? c) How fast must a 6.0-kg cat run to have a kinetic energy of 150 J?
A 0.45 kg box approaches the ramp at an unknown velocity. It travels up the 0.04 meters high ramp and compresses a spring (with spring constant, k = 55 N/m) a distance of 0.05 m. How fast was the box originally traveling? Ignore friction and air resistance.
A box slides on a frictionless surface with a total energy of 50 J. It hits a spring and compresses the spring a distance of 25 cm from equilibrium. If the same box with the same initial energy slides on a rough surface, it only compresses the spring a distance of 15 cm, how much energy must have been lost by sliding on the rough surface?
