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?

- Consider a particle on which a force acts that depends on the position of the particle. This force is given by . Find the work done by this force when the particle moves from the origin to a point 5 meters to the right on the x-axis.arrow_forwardA block of mass 0.250 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5 000 N/m and pushed downward so that the spring is compressed by 0.100 m. After the block is released from rest, it travels upward and then leaves the spring. To what maximum height above the point of release does it rise?arrow_forwardA 55.5-kg box is being pushed a distance of 8.48 m across the floor by a force P whose magnitude is 177 N. The force P is parallel to the displacement of the box. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.242. Determine the work done on the box by (a) the applied force, (b) the friction force, (c) the normal force, and (d) by the force of gravity. Be sure to include the proper plus or minus sign for the work done by each force. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units (d) Number Unitsarrow_forward

It is projected from x = 0 to the right along the positive x direction with initial kinetic energy To 1/2 kA". k and A are positive con- stants. Find (a) the potential energy function V(x) for this force; (b) the kinetic energy, and (c) the total energy of the particle as a function of its position. (d) Find the turning points of the motion. (e) Sketch the potential, kinetic, and total energy functions. (Optional: Use Mathcad or Mathematica to plot these functions. Set k and A each equal to 1.) 2.4arrow_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_forwardA particle moves in a xy plane from the origin to a point having coordinates x=7 m and y=4 m under the influence of a force given by F=-5y^2i -4xj.arrow_forward
- The potential energy function for a system of particles is given by U(x) = -x3 + 2x2 + 3x, where x is the position of one particle in the system. (a) Determine the force Fx on the particle as a function of x. (b) For what values of x is theforce equal to zero? (c) Plot U(x) versus x and Fx versus x and indicate points of stable and unstable equilibrium.arrow_forwardA block of mass, m = 0.5 kg is used to compress a spring with a spring con- 78.4 N/m a distance x from it's resting point. The block is then stant, k released and travels towards a circular loop of radius, R = 1.5 m. The loop and the surface as frictionless except for the region, of length 2.5 m, defined by AB which has a coefficient of friction, µk = 0.3. Determine the minimum compression of the spring that allows for the block to just make it through the loop-to-loop at point C (Hint: This problem is best done by starting at the end and working backwards). R k A Вarrow_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
- An object of mass m is traveling on a horizontal surface. There is a coefficient ofkinetic friction µ between the object and the surface. 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.
