A block of mass root 2 kg is released


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 329 People


A block of mass root 2 kg is released from the top of an inclined smooth surface as shown in fig. if spring constant of spring is 100n/m and block comes to rest after compressing the spring by 1m. then distance travelled befpre it comes to rest

At the bottom of the incline:

Energy lost by the block as the spring slows it to a stop (the block's kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline) = Energy gained by the spring 

= (1/2)(100N/m)(1m)^2 = 50J 

____________________________
As the block slides down the incline: 
____________________________

Energy at the top = Energy at the bottom 

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf 

Ui = Kf 

mgh = 50 J  where h is the height of the incline (the altitude) 

(√2kg)(9.81m/s^2)(h) = 50J 

h = 50/(√2x9.81) m 

h = 50/13.87 m 

h = 3.6 m

The incline is a right triangle with height h (the altitude) and hypotenuse d (the plane length). 

Sin45o = h/d, 

Then, d = 5m.

Hence, the distance travelled by block before it comes to rest is 5m.
