Concept explainers

Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

A 6 000-kg freight car rolls along rails with negligible friction. The car is brought to rest by a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P6.27 (page 188). Both springs are described by Hookes law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2, = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses a distance of 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force as additional compression occurs as shown in the graph. The car comes to rest 50.0 cm after first contacting the two-spring system. Find the cars initial speed.
A giant swing at an amusement park consists of a 365-kg uniform arm 10.0 m long, with two seats of negligible mass connected at the lower end of the arm (Fig. P8.53). (a) How far from the upper end is the center of mass of the arm? (b) The gravitational potential energy of the arm is the same as if all its mass were concentrated at the center of mass. If the arm is raised through a 45.0 angle, find the gravitational potential energy, where the zero level is taken to be 10.0 m below the axis, (c) The arm drops from rest from the position described in part (b). Find the gravitational potential energy of the system when it reaches the vertical orientation. (d) Find the speed of the seats at the bottom of the swing.

A 115kg rugby player is initially running at 5.5 m/s in the + direction, but collides with a goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.71 × 10^4 N for 5.25 × 10^-2 s. what is the final \velocity of the rugby player in the horizontal direction
Tarzan, who has a mass of 80 kg, holds onto the end of a vine that is at a 12° angle from the vertical. He steps off his branch and, just at the bottom of his swing, he grabs onto his chimp friend Cheetah, whose mass is 40 kg. What is the maximum angle the rope reaches as Tarzan swings to the other side?
An 85 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 14 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and we can model the situation to see why. Assume that the man has a mass of 85 kg, with a center of gravity 1.0 m above the ground. The action of the wind on his torso, which we approximate as a cylinder 50 cm wide and 90 cm long centered 1.2 m above the ground, produces a force that tries to tip him over backward. To keep from falling over, he must lean forward. a. What is the magnitude of the torque provided by the wind force? Take the pivot point at his feet. Assume that he is standing vertically.b. At what angle to the vertical must the man lean to provide a gravitational torque that is equal to this torque due to the wind force?

What is the maximum angle the rope reaches as Tarzan swings to the other side?
Some office workers use a sledgehammer to hit their broken computer and push it across an open field. If the computer has a mass of 5.2 kg and moves across the field with an initial velocity of 10.4 m/sec, how far will it travel before coming to a rest from friction (uopenfield = 0.45)?
A toy gun uses a spring with a force constant of 295 N/m to propel a 11-g steel ball. Assuming the spring is compressed 7.4 cm and friction is negligible, answer the following questions: What is the magnitude of the force, in Newton, that is needed to compress the spring? What is the maximum height, in meters, to which the ball can be shot? What is the gun’s maximum range, in meters, on level ground?
a baseball catcher puts on an exhibition by catching a 0.15 kg ball, dropped from a helicopter at a height of 100m above the catcher. If the catcher "gives" with the ball for 0.75 m (was originally 1m off the ground) while catching it, what is the average force exerted on the mitt by the ball?
