Short Answer

Answer

The spring is long when the block comes momentarily to rest on the compressed spring.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of the elastic potential energy 

The elastic potential energy is the energy acquired as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic item. The energy is stored until the force is removed, at which point the object reverts to its original shape and resumes its function. During the deformation process, the object could be crushed, stretched, or twisted.

02

Finding polynomial for gravitational and elastic potential energies

Let is the relaxed length of the spring, and is its final compressed length.

EI = EF

No non-conservative forces act on the system so, the initial energy is equal to the final energy. Equate both the energies.

In the initial state there is only gravitational potential energy, and in the final state, both gravitational and elastic potential energies will present.

Take reference at the floor for the gravitational potential energy and write the initial and final energies into the last equation.

mgh =12ksl0- l2+ mglmgh =12ksl02- 2l0l +l2+ mgl0 =12ksl2+mg -ksl0l +12ksl02- mgh

03

Calculation for the length of the spring 

Substitute , ks=1000N/m,m =0.4 kg , g=9.8m/s2,I0=0.15mand h =0,8 into the obtained equation and solve for .

Take the negative sign and do the further calculation.

0=121000l2+0.49.8-10000.15l+1210000.152-0.49.80.80=500l2-146l+8.114l=146(-146)2-4(500)(8.114)2(500)=14671.331000

I = 0.0747 m

Therefore, the length of spring obtained is 0.0747 m .

A coffee filter of mass 1.8kgdropped from a height of 4mreaches the ground with a speed of 0.8m/s. How much kinetic energyKairdid the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter? Start from the Energy principle, and choose as the system the coffee filter, the Earth and the air.

A man sits with his back against the back of a chair, and he pushes a block of mass m=2kgstraight forward on a table in front of him, with a constant force F=30 N, moving the block a distance D=0.3 m. The block starts from rest and slides on a low-friction surface. (a) How much work does the man do on the block? (b) What is the final kinetic energy K of the block? (c) What is the final speed V of the block? (d) How much time tdoes this process take? (e) Consider the system of the man plus the block: how much work does the chair do on the man? (f) What is the internal energy of the man?

Now suppose that the man is sitting on a train that is moving in a straight line with speed V=15m/s, and you are standing on the ground as the train goes by, moving to your right. From your perspective (that is, in your reference frame), answer the following questions: (g) What is the initial speed localid="1657950350828" viof the block? (h) What is the final speedvfof the block? (i) What is the initial kinetic energy of the block? (j) What is the final kinetic energykfof the block? (k) What is the change in kinetic energyK=Kf-Ki, how does this compare with the change in kinetic energy in the man鈥檚 reference frame? (l) How far does the block movex? (m) How much work does the man do on the block, and how does this compare with the work done by the man in his reference frame and with Kin your frame? (n) How far does the chair move? (o) Consider the system of the man plus the block: how much work does the chair do on the man, and how does this compare with the work done by the chair in the man鈥檚 reference frame? (p) What is the internal energy change of the man, and how does this compare with the internal energy change in his reference frame?

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.

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.

180鈥塯 of boiling water (temperature 1000C, heat capacity 4.2鈥塉/K/g) are poured into an aluminum pan whose mass is 1050 g and initial temperature 260C(the heat capacity of aluminum is 0.9鈥塉/K/g).

(a) After a short time, what is the temperature of the water?

(b) What simplifying assumptions did you have to make? (1) The thermal energy of the water doesn't change. (2) Thermal energy of the aluminum doesn't change. (3) Energy transfer between the system (water plus pan) and the surroundings was negligible during this time. (4) The heat capacities for both water and aluminum hardly change with temperature in this temperature range.

(c) Next you place the pan on a hot electric stove. While the stove is heating the pan, you use a beater to stir the water, doing 29541 J of work and the temperature of the water and pan increases to 86.90C. How much energy transfer due to a temperature difference was there from the stove into the system consisting of the water plus the pan?
