Blocks with different masses are pushed against a spring one at a time, compressing it different amounts. Each is then launched onto an essentially frictionless horizontal surface that then curves upward, still frictionless (like Fig. 7.21 but without the frictional part). The table below shows the masses, spring compressions, and maximum vertical height each block achieves. Determine a quantity that, when you plot h against it, should yield a straight line. Plot the data, determine a best-fit line, and use its slope to determine the spring constant.
Mass m (g) | 50.0 | 85.2 | 126 | 50.0 | 85.2 |
Compression x (cm) | 2.40 | 3.17 | 5.40 | 4.29 | 1.83 |
Height h (cm) | 10.3 | 11.2 | 19.8 | 35.2 | 3.81 |

- Find the maximum height of y4. I keep getting 0.324. but it keeps saying it is incorrectarrow_forwardAn engineering student wants to use a light, porous material of density 600 kg/m3 to construct a cylindrical tower of height 5 m meters and radius 0.8 m in her backyard. Find the work against gravity she must do to build the tower. (Assume that acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2. Round your answer to the nearest integer.)arrow_forwardA small block is sent through point A with a speed of 12.9 m / s . Its path is without friction until it reaches the section of length L , where frictional force stops the block . The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.70 . The indicated heights are hy = 19.1 m and h2 = 2.9 m . What is L ( in m ) ?arrow_forward
- A 19.8 kg block is dragged over a rough, horizontal surface by a constant force of 183 N acting at an angle of 25◦ above the horizontal. The block is displaced 45.9 m, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.235. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Find the work done by the force of friction. Answer in units of J. If the block was originally at rest, determineits final speed. Answer in units of m/s.arrow_forwardCan you help me with this problem?A block with a mass m is initially compressing a spring by x1 on a horizontal floor with friction. The spring has a spring constant k. The block is realeased from rest and travels a total distance of D including x1 and has a speed of v. what is the coefficent of kinetic friction between the floor and block?arrow_forwardA 3.31-kg box placed against a horizontal spring with a force constant of k = 236 N/m compresses the spring 0.056 m. The spring is then released to accelerate the box across a smooth horizontal floor. Ignore friction and the mass of the spring. Calculate the speed of the box in m/s after it leaves the spring. give ans to 2 decimal places.arrow_forward
- A uniform thin rod of length 0.6 m and mass 6.00 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to the side an angle 60 degrees and released. If friction can be ignored, what is the speed of its free end (in m/s), at the lowest point?

Thank you, no rush).arrow_forwardA 0.50-kg block slides along a small track with elevated ends and a flat central part. The flat part has a length L = 1.30 m. The curved portions of the track are frictionless, but for the flat part the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.196.
