Concept explainers

Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

Your answer is partially correct. The only force acting on a 4.5 kg body as it moves along the positive x axis has an x component F,= -4x N, where x is in meters. The velocity of the body at x = 1.4 m is 10 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the body at x = 3.2 m? (b) At what positive value of x will the body have a velocity of 2.0 m/s? (a) Number 9.62 (b) Number 1.94 eTextbook and Media Units Units m/s m
Daredevil Darla has heard that to avoid injury when jumping out of her rocket she should bend her knees upon landing. Darla has a mass of 74 kg. If just before contact with the ground, she has a downward speed of 7.3 m/s, then. . . (a) In a stiff -legged landing she comes to a halt in 2.0 ms. Find the average net force that acts on her during this time. ( b) When she bends her knees, Darla comes to a halt in 0.10 s. Find the average net force now. (c) During the landing, there are two forces acting on Darla: the normal force from the ground points upward, while her weight force points downward. The average net force acting on Darla includes both of these forces. Taking into account the directions of the forces, find the force of the ground on Darla in parts (a) and (b).
Some salvage divers are raising a rectangular box of treasure measuring1m × 1.3m × 1.9m from the bottom of the sea. They are using a cable which can handle a maximum force of 10 000 N without breaking. They raise the treasure from the bottom of the ocean at a constant speed. All goes well while the treasure is rising through the water but much to the despair of the salvors as soon as the treasure is clear of the water the cable breaks, dropping the treasure back into the briny deep. What are the maximum and minimum possible weights of the lost treasure?
