A block is attached to a horizontal rope that exerts a variable force , where x is in m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is Initially the block is at rest at . What is the block’s speed when it has been pulled to ?
As a 15,000 kg jet plane lands on an aircraft carrier, its tail hook snags a cable to slow it down. The cable is attached to a spring with spring constant 60,000 N/m. If the spring stretches 30 m to stop the plane, what was the plane’s landing speed?
You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a-high hill, then descends to the track’s lowest point. You’ve determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum of and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass of . For safety reasons, the spring constant should be larger than the minimum needed for the car to just make it over the top.
a. What spring constant should you specify?
b. What is the maximum speed of a car if the spring is compressed the full amount?
What minimum speed does a 100 g puck need to make it to the top of a 3.0-m-long, 20° frictionless ramp?
The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35, of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists find that (on average) the knee extensor tendons in sprinters stretch 41 mm while those of nonathletes stretch only 33 mm. The spring constant of the tendon is the same for both groups, 33 N/mm. What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathletes?
