A 263g block is dropped onto a vertical spring with force constant k = 2.52N/cm. The block sticks to the spring, and the spring compress 11.8 cm before coming momentarily to rest. while the spring is being compressed, how much work is done:
(a) By the force of gravity
(b) By the spring?
(c) What was the speed of the block just before it hit the spring?
(d) If this initial speed of the block is doubled, what is the maximum compression of the spring? Ignore friction.
two blocks aA and B are placed as in figure, and connected by ropes to block C. Blocks A and B weigh 20 N each and the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and surface is .40. Block C descends with an acceleration of 2 m/s2...
A. Find the tension in the ropes
B. Find the weight of the block
