A 12 kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a light spring (force constant = 0.80 kN/m). The block is initially at rest at its equilibrium position when a force (magnitude P = 80 N) acting parallel to the surface is applied to the block. What is the speed of the block when it is 13 cm from its equilibrium position?

A 12-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a light spring (force constant = 0.80 kN/m). The block is initially at rest at its equilibrium position when a force (magnitude P= 80 N) acting parallel to the surface is applied to the block, as shown. What is the speed of the block when it is 13 cm from its equilibrium position?

 

Given data:

Mass of the block, \[m=12\text{ kg}\]

Spring constant, \[k=0.80\text{ kN/m = 800 N/m}\]

Force, \[F=80\text{ N}\]

Elongation in the spring, \[x=13\text{ cm = 0}\text{.13 m}\]

Applying the conservation of energy:

\[\begin{align}

  & F.x=\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}} \\

 & \therefore  \\

 & {{v}^{2}}=\frac{2\left( F.x-\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}} \right)}{m} \\

 & v=\sqrt{\frac{2\left( F.x-\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}} \right)}{m}} 

\end{align}\]

Plugging in the given values:

\[\begin{align}

  & v=\sqrt{\frac{2\left( 80\times 0.13-\frac{1}{2}\times 800\times {{\left( 0.13 \right)}^{2}} \right)}{12}} \\

 & =0.7788\text{ m/s} 

\end{align}\]

 

Answer:

Speed of the block: 0.778 m/s

A 0.260-kg block resting on a frictionless, horizontal surfaceis attached to a spring having force constant 83.8 N/m as in thefigure below. A horizontal force Fvec causes the spring to stretchat a distance of 5.90 cm from its equilibrium position.


(a) Find the value of F.
N

(b) What is the total energy stored in the system when the springis stretched?
J

(c) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the block immediatelyafter the applied force is removed.
m/s2

(d) Find the speed of the block when it first reaches theequilibrium position.
m/s
