Question

please i really need help

A spring has a force constant of 90000 N/m.
How far must it be stretched for its poten-
tial energy to be 30 J? Answer in units of m

An ore car of mass 37000 kg starts from rest
and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At
the end of the tracks, 28 m lower vertically, is
a horizontally situated spring with constant
3.3 × 105 N/m.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
Ignore friction.
How much is the spring compressed in stop-
ping the ore car?
Answer in units of m

A block of mass m is pushed a distance D up
an inclined plane by a horizontal force F. The
plane is inclined at an angle with respect to
the horizontal. The block starts from rest and
the coefficient of kinetic friction is µk.If N is the normal force, the final speed of
the block is given by






Explanation / Answer

k = 90000 N/m

potential energy = (1/2)*K*x2

30 = 1/2 * 90000 x2

x= 0.026 m

change in potential energy of trolly = gain PE of spring

37000*9.8*28 = (1/2)(3.3*105)(x2)

x= 7.844 m

let the angle be

work cone by force = force* displacement along force

                            = F*Dcos

(mgsin is the force and N = mgcos...mg = N/cos)

work done by gravity =mg sin *D

                             = N /cos * sin *D

                               =N tan *D.........

work done by friction = k *N

work done by force = work done by gravity + work done by friction + KE

F*D cos = N tan *D + k *N + (1/2)*m*(v2)

v = [(2/m)(F*D cos - N tan *D - k *N)]
