One end of a horizontal spring with force constant 130.0 N/m is attached to a vertical wall. A 4.00-kg block sitting on the floor is placed against the spring. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is μk = 0.400. You apply a constant force F, which is directed toward the wall. F has magnitude of 82.0 N and is directed toward the wall. At the instant that the spring is compressed 80.0 cm, what are(a) the speed of the block, and(b) the magnitude and direction of the block's acceleration?

Respuesta :

Answer

given,

force constant = 130 N/m

mass of block = 4 kg

μk = 0.400

magnitude of force = 82 N

compressed to the distance of (x) = 80 cm = 0.8 m

using conservation of energy

[tex]F x = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\mu_kmgx[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = F x - \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2-\mu_kmgx[/tex]

[tex]mv^2 = 2Fx-kx^2-2\mu_kmgx[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2Fx}{m}-\dfrac{kx^2}{m}-2\mu_kmgx}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 82\times 0.8}{4}-\dfrac{130\times 0.8^2}{4}-2\times 0.4\times 9.8\times 0.8}[/tex]

v=2.39 m/s

Net force on the block is

[tex]F_{net} = F - F_f -kx[/tex]

            = 82 - 0.4×4×9.8 - 130×0.8

            = -37.68 N

Acceleration of the block

[tex]a = \dfrac{F_{net}}{m}[/tex]

[tex]a = \dfrac{37.68}{4}[/tex]

a =9.42 m/s²

The speed of block  at the instant the spring was compressed is 2.39 m/s.

The magnitude of the block's acceleration is 3.57 m/s² and it is opposite to the direction of the spring compression.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the block, m = 4 kg
  • force constant, k = 130 N/m
  • coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.4
  • the force applied on, F = 82 N
  • compression of the spring, x = 80 cm = 0.8 m

Apply the principle of work-energy theorem, to determine the speed of block when it was compressed.

[tex]work-done = Energy\\\\Fx = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} kx^2 + F_k \mu_k x \\\\\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = Fx - \frac{1}{2} kx^2 - F_k \mu_k x\\\\mv^2 = 2Fx - kx^2 - 2F_k\mu_kx\\\\v^2 = \frac{2Fx - kx^2 - 2F_k\mu_kx}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2Fx - kx^2 - 2F_k\mu_kx}{m} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2Fx - kx^2 - 2mg\mu_kx}{m} }\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2(82\times 0.8) - (130\times 0.8^2) - 2(4\times 9.8 \times 0.4 0.8)}{4} }\\\\v =2.39 \ m/s[/tex]

The acceleration of the block is calculated as;

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2a(x)\\\\ 0 = u^2 + 2ax\\\\a = \frac{u^2}{-2x} \\\\a = \frac{(2.39)^2}{-2(0.8)} \\\\a = -3.57 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Thus, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 3.57 m/s² and it is opposite to the direction of the compression.
