1. (30 pts) As shown in Figure 1, a block with mass m 3.5 kg is placed on a horizontal surface at position A, where it compresses a spring with spring constant k by a displacement Ax 1. K = Ug = mgy %3D - Delta X : 50.75 U, = =K(ax)² %3D Fr = HkN The mass is released from rest at position A, and the spring expands until the block leaves the spring at position B. There is no friction between A and B. Between positions B and C, the block travels over a flat, rough surface having a coefficient of kinetic frictlon uk and length d = 5.5 m. Wext = Fext Cos 0 Ax %3D Wext = (K – Ko) + (U – U.) D k h d. A B Figure Between positions C and D, the block climbs a curved ramp until it reaches position D, a height h = 2.0 m abovethe surface. There is no friction between C and D. a) The block's velocity when it reachies position B is YR = 9.65 m/s. Use conservation of energy between positions A and B fo calculate the value of the spring constant k in N/m) b) The block's velocity when it reaches position C is vc. VC: 6.90 Use conservation of energy between pesitions B and C to całculate the coefficient of kinetic friction Hk. c) Use conservation of energy between positions C and D to catculate the block's velocity (in m/s) when it reaches position D.
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
