GO The block in Fig. 7-10a lies on a horizontal frictionless surface, and the spring constant is 50 N/m. Initially, the spring is at its relaxed length and the block is stationary at position x= 0. Then an applied force with a constant magnitude of 3.0 N pulls the block in the positive direction of the x axis, stretching the spring until the block stops. When that stopping point is reached, what are(a) the position of the block, (b) the work that has been done on the block by the applied force, and (c) the work that has been done on the block by the spring force? During the block’s displacement, what are (d) the block’s position when its kinetic energy is maximum and (e) the value of that maximum kinetic energy?

- QI) ( A block of mass m-10 kg is on a frictionless horizontal surface and pushed against the spring, whose spring constant k-240 N/m, compressing the spring by 3m. The block is then released from rest. The block is observed to move up the incline and come back down, hitting and 771 compressing the spring by a maximum distance of Im. The inclined plane has www. friction and makes an angle of 9 = 37° with the horizontal. a) Find the work done by friction from the moment the block is released till the moment it strikes the spring again. b) What is the maximum height the block can reach? c) Find the kinetic friction coefficient between the block and the inclined plane.arrow_forwardA block of mass m = 0.26 kg slides with initial velocity vo m/s along a frictionless surface (as in the figure). The block next slides through a region of length d= 0.19 m with kinetic friction. After passing through the friction region, the block slides up a curved ramp until momentarily coming to rest at a height h above the level surface. If the kinetic friction coefficient μk = 0.126 and the block reaches height h = 0.11 m above the initial level, what was its initial velocity vo? Express the answer in m/s but enter only the numerical part in the box. m harrow_forwardAn inclined plane makes an angle of θ = 32° above the horizontal. A wooden block (m = 560 g) is placed on the plane and is connected to the top of the plane by a spring with spring constant k = 23 N/m. The spring is parallel to the surface of the plane, and friction between the block and the plane is negligible. The block is held in place with the spring at its relaxed length, and then the block is released from rest. It slides a distance d down the plane before momentarily coming to rest, and then being pulled back up the plane. What is d? The symbolic answer must be written in terms of the variables θ, m, k, and g, although not all of these variables may be needed. Note: tackle this problem using energy concepts.arrow_forward

The object has speed v when itreaches x=0 and encounters a spring. The object compresses the spring, stops, and thenrecoils and travels in the opposite direction. When the object reaches x=0 on its returntrip, it stops. Find k, the spring constant, in terms of µ, m, g, and varrow_forwardA two-dimensional, conservative force is zero on the x– and y-axes, and satisfies the condition (dFx/dy) = (dFy/dx) = (4N/m3)xy.
