A 0.500-kg block, attached to a spring with length 0.60 m and force constant 40.0 N/m. is at rest with the back of the block at point A on a frictionless, horizontal air table (Fig. P7.69). The mass of the spring is negligible. You move the block to the right along the surface by pulling with a constant 20.0-N horizontal force, (a) What is the block’s speed when the back of the block reaches point B. which is 0.25 m to the right of point A? (b) When the back of the block reaches point B. you let go of the block. In the subsequent motion, how close does the block get to the wall where the left end of the spring is attached?

- A block of mass m1 = 4.00 kg initially at rest on top of a frictionless, horizontal table is attached by a lightweight string to a second block of mass m2 = 3.00 kg hanging vertically from the edge of the table and a distance h = 0.450 m above the floor (Fig. P8.77). If the edge of the table is assumed to be frictionless, what is the speed with which the first block leaves the edge of the table?arrow_forwardYou and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 23 ∘ . You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is on the edge of the roof, 5.2 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.3 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.52, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?arrow_forwarda pendulum of length L= 1.25 m. Its bob (which effectively has all the mass) has speed v0 when the cord makes an angle u0 =40.0 with the vertical. (a) What is the speed of the bob when it is in its lowest position if v0 = 8.00 m/s? What is the least value that v0 can have if the pendulum is to swing down and then up (b) to a horizontal position, and (c) to a vertical position with the cord remaining straight? (d) Do the answers to (b) and (c) increase, decrease, or remain the same if u0 is increased by a few degrees?arrow_forward
- A spring-loaded toy gun is aimed vertically and fired after a spherical projectile of mass m = 29.5 g is loaded by compressing the spring with force constant k = 820 N/m a distance of 8.90 cm. As the projectile travels a total distance of 56.6 cm along the barrel of the gun, it experiences a friction force of 1.50 N. What is the height reached by the projectile above its initial location with the spring compressed? ?marrow_forwardAn 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?arrow_forwardA block of mass ?=3.53 kgm=3.53 kg is attached to a spring, which is resting on a horizontal frictionless table. The block is pushed into the spring, compressing it by 5.00 cm,5.00 cm, and is then released from rest. The spring begins to push the block back toward the equilibrium position at ?=0 cm.x=0 cm. The graph shows the component of the force (in Newtons) exerted by the spring on the block versus the position of the block (in centimeters) relative to equilibrium.

- Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the drawstring back 62 cm from its rest position and holds it in position with a force of 170 N. If the mass of the arrow is 59 g and the "spring" is massless, what is the speed (in m/s) of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?arrow_forwardA cube of mass m = 0.16 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of k1 = 599 N/m which has been compressed by a distance of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 252 N/m. The cube is not connected to the first spring and may slide freely. a.) How far, d2, in meters, will the second spring compress when the cube runs into it? b.) How fast, v2 in meters per second, will the cube be moving when it strikes the second spring? c.) Now assume that the surface is rough (that is not frictionless). You perform the experiment and observe that the second spring only compress a distance d2/2.
