A block on a frictionless table is connected to a spring as shown. The spring is initially unstretched. The block is displaced to the right of point R and is then released.
1. When the block passes point R, is the spring compressed or stretched?
Does your answer depend on the direction in which the block is moving? Explain.
2. In the space provided, draw a free-body diagram for the block at the instant the block passes point R moving to the left. Draw arrows to represent the directions of the velocity, the acceleration, and the net force on the block, all at that instant. If any quantity is zero, state so explicitly.
Is the net work done on the block from point of release to point R, positive, negative, or zero? Explain.
At some instant, the block passes point L moving to the left. Draw a free-body diagram for the block at that instant. Also, draw arrows to represent the direction of the velocity, the net force, and the acceleration, all at that instant. If any quantity is zero, state so explicitly.
During a small displacement of the block from the right of point L to take the left of point L:
Is the net work done on the block positive, negative, or zero? Explain.
Does the speed of the block increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain how your answer is consistent with the work-energy theorem.

- please answer all 4 parts and type answer please You have a massless spring with a relaxed length of 13.8 cm. (Draw a picture and a free body diagram for the object for parts A and B situation below.) A. If you hang the spring vertically with a 0.92 kg weight on it, the spring is now 17.6 cm long. What is the spring constant k? B. If you set the spring on the ground in a vertical position and set a 1.2 kg weight on top of it, how far is the spring compressed? What is the length of the spring when the weight is on it? C. If you hold the spring in a horizontal orientation, how much would you need to compress it to create a restoring force of 18 N from the spring? D. How much would you need to stretch the spring to get the same 18 N restoring force? Explain.arrow_forwardA rollercoaster cart of mass 450.0 kg is traveling in a loop of radius of 15.0m.

A wagon is moving in a straight line with constant acceleration ax and its kinematics is measured with respect to inertial coordinates (X1, Y1). A ball inside the wagon is acted upon by a force F (components F7 and Fy) and gravity force Mg. The coordinate (x2. Y2) is moving with the wagon. Determine the acceleration of the ball measured in the (X2. Y2) coordinate frame. In other words, compute the acceleration of the ball relative to the wagon.

Part B Draw a free-body diagram for block B, showing the force of gravity on it, the force (tension) exerted by the cord, and any normal force. Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded but the relative length of one to the other will be graded.
