Kinematics
A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine parts, those two parts experience a relative motion with each other. Studying such relative motions is termed kinematics.
Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem
In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the direction of displacement and perpendicular to the displacement which is called the normal force. Energy is the capacity of any object doing work. The SI unit of work is joule and energy is Joule. This principle follows the second law of Newton's law of motion where the net force causes the acceleration of an object. The force of gravity which is downward force and the normal force acting on an object which is perpendicular to the object are equal in magnitude but opposite to the direction, so while determining the net force, these two components cancel out. The net force is the horizontal component of the force and in our explanation, we consider everything as frictionless surface since friction should also be calculated while called the work-energy component of the object. The two most basics of energy classification are potential energy and kinetic energy. There are various kinds of kinetic energy like chemical, mechanical, thermal, nuclear, electrical, radiant energy, and so on. The work is done when there is a change in energy and it mainly depends on the application of force and movement of the object. Let us say how much work is needed to lift a 5kg ball 5m high. Work is mathematically represented as Force ×Displacement. So it will be 5kg times the gravitational constant on earth and the distance moved by the object. Wnet=Fnet times Displacement.

**Description:**
A block of mass \( m = 3.98 \, \text{kg} \) is attached to a spring, which is resting on a horizontal frictionless table. The block is pushed into the spring, compressing it by \( 5.00 \, \text{cm} \), and is then released from rest. The spring begins to push the block back toward the equilibrium position at \( x = 0 \, \text{cm} \).
The graph shows the component of the force (in Newtons) exerted by the spring on the block versus the position of the block (in centimeters) relative to equilibrium. Use the graph to answer the questions.
**Question:**
How much work is done by the spring in pushing the block from its initial position at \( x = -5.00 \, \text{cm} \) to \( x = 2.64 \, \text{cm} \)?
---
**Graph Explanation:**
- **Axes:**
- The horizontal axis represents the position \( x \) of the block in centimeters (cm) relative to the equilibrium position, ranging from -5 cm to 5 cm.
- The vertical axis represents the force \( F_x \) exerted by the spring on the block in Newtons (N), ranging from -6 N to 6 N.
- **Line:**
- The graph shows a straight line with a negative slope, indicating the linear relationship between the force exerted by the spring and the position of the block.
- The line crosses the y-axis at 6 N when \( x = -5 \, \text{cm} \), and decreases to -6 N at \( x = 5 \, \text{cm} \).
This setup illustrates Hooke's Law, where the force exerted by a spring is proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium position, \( F = -kx \), with \( k \) being the spring constant.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdae8ea51-d999-465a-930d-1a33207743cb%2Fb490c2c7-13c2-4a72-8d59-6b9f9a90f8e2%2Flvvv91_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
