Notice that all the initial spring potential energy was transformed into gravitational potential energy. If you compressed the spring to a distance of 0.200 mm , how far up the slope will an identical ice cube travel before reversing directions

Sagot :

Answer:

The correct answer will bs "2.41 m".

Explanation:

According to the question,

M = 50 g

or,

   = 0.050 kg

[tex]\Theta = 25^{\circ}[/tex]

k = 25.9 N/m

Δx = 0.200 m

Let the traveled distance be "x".

By using trigonometry, the height will be:

⇒ [tex]h = l Sin \Theta[/tex]

hence,

⇒ [tex]Potential \ energy \ at \ the \ top=Spring \ potential \ energy[/tex]

                                       [tex]Mgh=\frac{1}{2} k(\Delta x)^2[/tex]

By putting the values, we get

             [tex]0.050\times 9.8\times lSin 25^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}\times 25.0\times (0.200)^2[/tex]

                                              [tex]l=2.41 \ m[/tex]     Â
