A 4.55-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 3.51 m with a speed of 4.61 m/s onto a spring with k = 1730 N/m. The clay compresses the spring a certain maximum amount before momentarily stopping.
Find the maximum compression of the spring.
Find the total work done on the clay during the spring's compression
mass of the clay m=4.55 kg
speed v=4.61 m/sec
spring constant k=1730 N/m
height h=3.51 m
let compression is "x"
a)
by using energy equation,
m*g*(h+x)=1/2*k*x^2
4.55*9.8*(3.51+x)=1/2*(1730)*x^2
===> x=0.45m
compression x=0.45m =45 cm
b)
work done W=(1/2*k*x^2)
W=1/2*1730*0.45^2=175.16 J

A) A 350-g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant k =170.0 N/m. The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 44.7 cm before momentarily stopping. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by the gravitational force on it? B) While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by the spring force? C) What is the speed of the block...
A red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 1.3 m/s from a height of 26 meters above the ground. Then, 0.4 seconds after the red ball is thrown, a blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 23.9 m/s, from a height of 1 meters above the ground. The force of gravity due to the earth results in the balls each having a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2. What is the speed of the...
