Work Energy And Power Question 225

Question: A 2 kg block slides on a horizontal floor with a speed of4m/s. It strikes a uncompressed spring, and compresses it till the block is motionless. The kinetic friction force is 15N and spring constant is 10,000 N/m. The spring compresses by Critical Thinking

Options:

A) 8.5 cm

B) 5.5 cm

C) 2.5 cm

D) 11.0 cm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Let the blow compress the spring by x before stopping.

Kinetic energy of the block = (P.E of compressed spring) + work done against function. 12×2×(4)2=12×10,000×x2+(+15)×x

10,000x2+30x32=0

5,000x2+15x16=0

x=15±(15)2±4×(5000)(16)2×5000

=0.055m=5.5cm.
