Equation for question 4: 1/2kx^2+mg*s*sinΘ = μ*mg*s*cosΘ Q5. Why can the work done by gravity on a hanging mass be ignored? (Hint: the masses return to their original height) 1. If you were to double...
1. If you were to double the mass of the block and cart, what effect would this have on s? 2. If you were to launch a block with m 0.500 kg up a ramp with 0 15o and uk 0.30 with a plunger with k- 200 N/m which compresses by 0.040 m, what distance would you expect it to travel? Show your working below. 3. If you were to place the ramp from Question 2 horizontally and launch the block, what distance would you expect it to travel? Show your working below. 4. Why does the right hand side of Equation 7 not include a term for the final gravitational potential energy of the block if the final position of the block is above the height of the bench?
