Write expressions for the kinetic and potential energies as functions of time. c. Plot the kinetic energy, potential energy, and mechanical energy as functions of time on the same set of axes. Problems 5965 are grouped. 59. G Table P16.59 gives the position of a block connected to a horizontal spring at several times. Sketch a motion diagram for the block. Table P16.59arrow_forwardReview. This problem extends the reasoning of Problem 41 in Chapter 9. Two gliders are set in motion on an air track. Glider 1 has mass m1 = 0.240 kg and moves to the right with speed 0.740 m/s. It will have a rear-end collision with glider 2, of mass m2 = 0.360 kg, which initially moves to the right with speed 0.120 m/s. A light spring of force constant 45.0 N/m is attached to the back end of glider 2 as shown in Figure P9.41. When glider 1 touches the spring, superglue instantly and permanently makes it stick to its end of the spring. (a) Find the common speed the two gliders have when the spring is at maximum compression. (b) Find the maximum spring compression distance. The motion after the gliders become attached consists of a combination of (1) the constant-velocity motion of the center of mass of the two-glider system found in part (a) and (2) simple harmonic motion of the gliders relative to the center of mass. (c) Find the energy of the center-of-mass motion. (d) Find the energy of the oscillation.arrow_forwardThe position of a particle attached to a vertical spring is given by y=(y0cost)j.

(a) By how much is the spring stretched when the block is slowly lowered to its equilibrium point? (b) If the elevator subsequently accelerates upward at 2.00 m/s2, what is the position of the block, taking the equilibrium position found in part (a) as y = 0 and upwards as the positive y-direction. (c) If the elevator cable snaps during the acceleration, describe the subsequent motion of the block relative to the freely falling elevator. What is the amplitude of its motion?arrow_forwardUse the data in Table P16.59 for a block of mass m = 0.250 kg and assume friction is negligible. a. Write an expression for the force FH exerted by the spring on the block. b. Sketch FH versus t.arrow_forwardIn a laboratory experiment, 1 a block of mass M is placed on a frictionless table at the end of a relaxed spring of spring constant k. 2 The spring is compressed a distance x0 and 3 a small ball of mass m is launched into the block as shown in Figure P11.22. The ball and block stick together and are projected off the table of height h. Find an expression for the horizontal displacement of the ballblock system from the end of the table until it hits the floor in terms of the parameters given. FIGURE P11.22arrow_forward
- An inclined plane of angle = 20.0 has a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in Figure P6.61. A block of mass m = 2.50 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?arrow_forwardA 2.85 kgkg block on a horizontal floor is attached to a horizontal spring that is initially compressed 0.0350 m. The spring has force constant 865 N/mN/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is 0.390. The block and spring are released from rest and the block slides along the floor. 1)What is the speed of the block when it has moved a distance of 0.0200 mm from its initial position? (At this point the spring is compressed 0.0150 m.)arrow_forwardA block of mass ?=3.80 kg slides along a horizontal table with velocity ?0=1.50 m/s. At ?=0, it hits a spring with spring constant ?=41.00 N/m and it also begins to experience a friction force. The coefficient of friction is given by ?=0.400. How far has the spring compressed by the time the block first momentarily comes to rest? Assume the positive direction is to the right.arrow_forward
