You have landed on an alien planet and because you have nothing better to do with your time, you have decided to do a physics experiment with a block. Your experiment is shown
above. A 1701 kg block is pressed against a wall (s = 0.9) by a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 45,500 N/m. The normal force on the block is 12,285 N and the block is
stationary. Assuming the static friction force is maximized, determine how much the spring has been compressed & g (the free fall acceleration on this planet).

To test the impact performance of a 10 cm thick gymnastics mat, a 20 kg cylindrical mass isdropped onto the mat from a height of 1 m above the mat. During the impact, the cylinder’s vertical velocity reaches zero at the instant the mat has compressed to only 4 cm thick.
a. How much kinetic energy does the cylinder have at the instant just before it contacts the mat?
b. What average vertical force does the mat exert on the cylinder during the impact, from contact until the cylinder’s vertical velocity is zero?

- huma The mass of the block depicted in the image is 1.08 kg. The spring has a spring constant of 78.1 N/m. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the floor is 0.594. Assume that the spring makes no contact with the floor and therefore friction only acts on the block. How far must the block and spring assembly be compressed to just barely overcome the force of static friction acting on the block? Report your result in meters.arrow_forwardGoal The purpose of this experiment is to use to test our idea that energy is a conserved quantity using Galileo’s Pendulum. Experimental Procedure A pendulum is constructed out of a string and a massive bob. The string is hung from a (presumably) frictionless peg and the bob is pulled back to some height above the lowest point of its arc. When the bob is released from this height and allowed to swing freely, the bob reaches the same height on the opposite side. The experiment we will be conducting to test our idea is to place a peg in the path of the string before releasing the bob at different heights. State, in your own words, the hypothesis being tested in this experiment. Draw a work-energy bar chart for a system consisting of the pendulum bob and Earth during its swing (a) when there is no peg in the way and (b) when there is a peg in the way. Use the hypothesis and the work-energy bar charts you just drew to predict how high the pendulum bob will rise on the other side when…arrow_forwardDETAILS SERCP11 13.A.P.066.
