Write an equation for the total energy of a system consisting of a mass suspended vertically from a spring, and include the Earth in the system. Place the origin for gravitational energy at the equilibrium position of the mass and show that the changes in energy of a vertical spring-mass system are the same as the changes in energy of a horizontal spring-mass system.

Short Answer

Expert verified

In the horizontal mass-spring system, the change in energy between a point at height and the equilibrium point isE=mv22+ky22 .

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Mass

Mass is defined as the object's quantity of inertia or the proportion between the force and acceleration.

02

Finding the total energy at the equilibrium point

When a mass is hung from a vertical spring, the spring expands beyond its normal length. The length change is equivalent to. The gravitational potential energy is equal to zero at the equilibrium point, according to the job. So, the total energy at the equilibrium point is .

Eeq=kL22

Let us consider the figure,

03

Finding the Gravitational and elastic force

As, the gravitational and elastic forces are equivalent at equilibrium point. Write the equation.

-ky=mg

Substitute y=-Linto the obtained equation.

kL=mgL=mgk

04

Finding the total energy of the system

Add all the energies at point yto get the total energy of the system.

E=mv22+ky-L22+mgy=mv22+k2y2-2yL+L2+mgy=mv22+ky22-kyL+kL22+mgy

HereE is the total energy of system,m is the mass of spring,K is the spring constant,L is the change in configuration of length and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute the obtained value of.

E=mv22+ky22-kymgk+kL22+mgy=mv22+ky22+kL22

05

Finding the change in the energy

Subtract the energy at equilibrium point from the total energy to get the change in energy,

E=E-EeqE=mv22+ky22+kL22+kL22=mv22+ky22

Form the obtained result it is concluded that the horizontal mass-spring system is equal to change in energy.

Therefore, In the horizontal mass-spring system, the change in energy between a point at height and the equilibrium point isE=mv22+ky22 .

Question: A relaxed spring of lengthstands vertically on the floor; its stiffness is. You release a block of mass from rest, with the bottom of the blockabove the floor and straight above the spring. How long is the spring when the block comes momentarily to rest on the compressed spring?

Question: Design a 鈥渂ungee jump鈥 apparatus for adults. A bungee jumper falls from a high platform with two elastic cords tied to the ankles. The jumper falls freely for a while, with the cords slack. Then the jumper falls an additional distance with the cords increasingly tense. You have cords that are10m long, and these cords stretch in the jump an additional 24mfor a jumper whose mass is 80kg, the heaviest adult you will allow to use your bungee jump (heavier customers would hit the ground). You can neglect air resistance. (a) Make a series of five simple diagrams, like a comic strip, showing the platform, the jumper, and the two cords at various times in the fall and the rebound. On each diagram, draw and label vectors representing the forces acting on the jumper, and the jumper鈥檚 velocity. Make the relative lengths of the vectors reflect their relative magnitudes. (b) At what instant is there the greatest tension in the cords? How do you know? (c) What is the jumper鈥檚 speed at this instant? (d) Is the jumper鈥檚 momentum changing at this instant or not? (That is, isdp鈬赌/dtnonzero or zero?) Explain briefly. (e) Focus on this instant, and use the principles of this chapter to determine the spring stiffnessksfor each cord. Explain your analysis. (f) What is the maximum tension that each cord must support without breaking? (g) What is the maximum acceleration (in g鈥檚) that the jumper experiences? What is the direction of this maximum acceleration? (h) State clearly what approximations and estimates you have made in your design.

When a falling object reaches terminal speed, its kinetic energy reaches a constant value. However, the gravitational energy of the system consisting of object plus Earth continues to decrease. Does this violate the principle of conservation of energy? Explain why or why not.

Figure 7.49 is a potential energy curve for the interaction of two neutral toms. The two-atom system is in a vibrational state indicated by the green horizontal line.

  1. At , what are the approximate values of the kinetic energy K, the potential energy U, and the quantity K + U?
  2. What minimum energy must be supplied to cause these two atoms to separate?
  3. In some cases, when r is large, the interatomic potential energy can be expressed approximately as . For large r, what is the algebraic form of the magnitude of the force the two atoms exert on each other in this case?

You drop a single coffee filter of mass 1.7 g from a very tall building, and it takes 52 s to reach the ground. In a small fraction of that time the coffee filter reached terminal speed. (a) What was the upward force of the air resistance while the coffee filter was falling at terminal speed? (b) Next you drop a stack of five of these coffee filters. What was the upward force of the air resistance while this stack of coffee filters was falling at terminal speed? (c) Again assuming that the stack reaches terminal speed very quickly, about how long will the stack of coffee filters take to hit the ground?
