A 3 kg block collides with a massless spring of spring constant 98 N/m attached to a wall. The speed of the block was observed to be 1.5 m/s at the moment of collision. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How far does the spring compress if the surface on which the mass moves is frictionless

Sagot :

Answer: 0.83 m

Explanation:

Given

mass of the block is m=3 kg

spring constant k=98 N/m

The Speed at the time of collision is v=1.5 m/s

Here, the kinetic energy of the block is converted into Elastic potential energy

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2 \\\\\Rightarrow 3\times 1.5^2=98\times x^2\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=0.6887\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.829\approx 0.83\ m[/tex]
