A block of mass m, attached to a spring ...

A block of mass m, attached to a spring of spring constant k, oscilltes on a smooth horizontal table. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. If it has speed v when the spring is at its naturla lenth, how far will it move on the table before coming to an instantaneous rest?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Consider the block + the sring as the system. The exterN/Al forces acting on the system are a. the force of gravilty, b. the normal force by the table and c. te force by the wall. None of thes edo any work on this system and hence the total mechanical energy is conserved. If the block mocves a distance x before comming to rest, we have
`1/2 mv^2=1/2kx^2`
or, `x=vsqrt(m/k)`

A block of mass 2kg is attached with a spring of spring constant 4000Nm^-1 and the system is kept on smooth horizontal table. The other end of the spring is attached with a wall. Initially spring is stretched by 5cm from its natural position and the block is at rest. Now suddenly an impulse of 4kg-ms^-1 is given to the block towards the wall. Approximate distance travelled by the block when it comes to rest for a second time (not including the initial one) will be (Take sqrt(45)=6.70 )
