Question

s your project with a spring in its step! [35 pts] A very large force 400 N is supplied n, it was observed to an object at rest with a mass m = 1 kg for a very short time 0.01 s . Later o that the object passed a flat part with a distance of,, 1m, over a straight hill of height h = 5 cm and angle 30°, and then finally onto a flat plateau. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are = 0.15 and ,-0.10 respectively. Where would a spring (k = 20 N/m) need to be placed to ensure that the object stopped at roughly the same place it started? . Use Energy and Work Concepts. NOTE: The spring is attached to the ground and does not move.

Explanation / Answer

Applying work energy theorem,

Work done by force + work done by gravity + work doneby friction +work done by spring = change in KE


Work done by gravity = 0

Work done by force :

a = F / m = 400 m/s^2 and d = a t^2 /2 = 0.02 m

W = F.d = 8 J


Work done by spring = 0


Work done by friction:

on flat surafce, N = m g

f1 = uk N = 0.981 N

W1 = - 2(0.981 x (1 + d))

W1 = - (1.962(1 + d))


on incline, N = m g cos30

f = uk m g cos30

W2 = - 2 ( f h / sin30) = - 1.70 J


Work done by friction = - 3.40 - 1.962 d


putting in ,

8 - 3.40 - 1.962 d = 0 - 0

d = 2.34 m
