A `2kg` block slides on a horizontal floor with the a speed of `4m//s` it strikes a uncompressed spring , and compresses it till the block is motionless . The kinetic friction force is compresses is `15 N` and spring constant is `10000 N//m` . The spring by

A

`5.5 cm`

B

`2.5 cm`

C

`11.0 cm`

D

`8.5 cm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`W.D_(f) = K_(f) + U_(f) - K_(i) - U_(i)`
`rArr - f.x = (1)/(2)kx^(2) + 0 - (1)/(2)mv^(2) - 0`
`rArr - 15x = 5000 x^(2) - 16 = 0`
`rArr 5000 x^(2) + 15x - 16 = 0 rArr x = 5.5 cm`

A block of mass 5.7kg slides on a horizontal frictionless table with a constant speed of 1.2ms^(-1) . It is brougth momentarily to rest by compressing a spring in its path. By what maximum distance is the spring compressed ? The spring constant k=1500Nm^(-1).

You push a 2.0 kg block against a horizontal spring , compressing the spring by 12 cm. Then You release the block, and the spring sends it sliding across a tabletop. It stops 75 cm from where you released it. The spring constant is 170 N/m. What is the block-table coefficient of kinetic friction ?

A block of mass M = 4 kg is kept on a smooth horizontal plane. A bar of mass m = 1 kg is kept on it. They are connected to a spring as shown & the spring is compressed. Then what is the maximum compression in the spring for which the bar will not slip on the block when released if coefficient of friction between them is 0.2 & spring constant = 1000 N/m : (Take g=10m//s^(2) )

A block of mass m_(1) =2 kg slides along a firictionless table with a speed of 10m // s. Directly infront of it,and moving in the same direction is a block of mass m_(2) 5 kg moving at 3 m // s.
