Learning Goal:
To apply the law of conservation of energy to an object launched upward in the gravitational field
of the earth.
First, let us consider an object launched vertically upward with an initial speed v. Neglect air resistance.
In the absence of nonconservative forces such as friction and air resistance, the total mechanical
energy in a closed system is conserved. This is one particular case of the law of conservation of
energy.
Part A
In this problem, you will apply the law of conservation of energy to different objects launched from
the earth. The energy transformations that take place involve the object's kinetic energy
K = (1/2)mv and its gravitational potential energy U=mgh. The law of conservation of
energy for such cases implies that the sum of the object's kinetic energy and potential energy does
not change with time. This idea can be expressed by the equation
As the projectile goes upward, what energy changes take place?
O Both kinetic and…

- Problem 1 A 1-kg block is 3 meters from a light spring. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is 0.25 (the coefficient of friction is the same on the entire surface). The block has a speed of 3 m/s when it hits the spring that has a force constant of 50 N/m. The block comes to rest when it has compressed the spring a maximum distance d. Find: 1. The speed of the object at the beginning of the 3 meters. 2. The value of the maximum compression d. k marrow_forwardConstants | Periodic Table Two children are trying to shoot a marble of mass m into a small box using a spring-loaded gun that is fixed on a table and shoots horizontally from the edge of the table. (Figure 1)The edge of the table is a height H above the top of the box (the height of which is negligibly small), and the center of the box is a distance d from the edge of the table. The spring has a spring constant k. The first child compresses the spring a distance z, and finds that the marble falls short of its target by a horizontal distance di2. Part A By what distance, z2, should the second child compress the spring so that the marble lands in the middle of the box? (Assume that height of the box is negligible, so that there is no chance that the marble wilIl hit the side of the box before it lands in the bottom.) Express the distance in terms of m, k, g, H. and d. • View Available Hint(s) ? Hνα ΑΣφ I2 = Submit Part B Complete previous part(s) Next > Provide Feedback 1 of 1 Figure…arrow_forward2arrow_forward

It has been said that if a flea were as big as a human, it would be able to jump over a 100-story building! When an animal jumps, it converts work done in contracting muscles into gravitational potential energy (with some steps in between). The maximum force exerted by a muscle is proportional to its cross-sectional area, and the work done by the muscle is this force times the length of contraction. If we magnified a flea by a factor of 1 000, the cross section of its muscle would increase by 1 0002 and the length of contraction would increase by 1 000. How high would this superflea be able to jump? (Dont forget that the mass of the superflea" increases as well.)arrow_forward
