- A small block of mass m = 200 g is released from rest at point along the horizontal diameter on the inside of a frictionless, hemispherical bowl of radius R = 30.0 cm (Fig. P8.43). Calculate (a) the gravitational potential energy of the block-Earth system when the block is at point relative to point . (b) the kinetic energy of the block at point . (c) its speed at point B, and (d) its kinetic energy and the potential energy when the block is at point . Figure P8.43 Problems 43 and 44.arrow_forwardA block of mass m = 5.00 kg is released from point and slides on the frictionless track shown in Figure P8.3.

Figure P8.3arrow_forwardA 5.00-kg block is set into motion up an inclined plane with an initial speed of i = 8.00 m/s (Fig. P7.21). The block comes to rest after traveling d = 3.00 m along the plane, which is inclined at an angle of = 30.0 to the horizontal. For this motion, determine (a) the change in the blocks kinetic energy, (b) the change in the potential energy of the block-Earth system, and (c) the friction force exerted on the block (assumed to be constant), (d) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

- A 4.00-kg particle moves from the origin to position , having coordinates x = 5.00 m and y = 5.00 m (Fig. P7.31). One force on the particle is the gravitational force acting in the negative y direction. Using Equation 7.3, calculate the work done by the gravitational force on the particle as it goes from O to along (a) the purple path, (b) the red path, and (c) the blue path, (d) Your results should all be identical. Why? Figure P7.31arrow_forwardA block of mass 0.500 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x (Fig. P7.79). The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the block travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point , the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The blocks speed at the bottom of the track is = 12.0 m/s, and the block experiences an average friction force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. (a) What is x? (b) If the block were to reach the top of the track, what would be its speed at that point? (c) Does the block actually reach the top of the track, or does it fall off before reaching the top?arrow_forwardA block of mass m = 2.50 kg is pushed a distance d = 2.20 m along a frictionless, horizontal table by a constant applied force of magnitude F = 16.0 N directed at an angle = 25.0 below the horizontal as shown in Figure P6.3.

Sketch the energy graph for the potential energy and the total energy of the springobject system as a function of compression distance x from x = xmax to x = 0, where xmax is the maximum amount of compression of the spring. Ignore the change in gravitational potential energy. b. Sketch the kinetic energy of the system between these points the two distances in part (a)on the same graph (using a different color). FIGURE P8.50 Problems 50 and 79arrow_forwardThe Flybar high-tech pogo stick is advertised as being capable of launching jumpers up to 6 ft. The ad says that the minimum weight of a jumper is 120 lb and the maximum weight is 250 lb. It also says that the pogo stick uses a patented system of elastometric rubber springs that provides up to 1200 lbs of thrust, something common helical spring sticks simply cannot achieve (rubber has 10 times the energy storing capability of steel). a. Use Figure P8.32 to estimate the maximum compression of the pogo sticks spring. Include the uncertainty in your estimate. b. What is the effective spring constant of the elastometric rubber springs? Comment on the claim that rubber has 10 times the energy-storing capability of steel. c.
