Aglider with mass m = 0.200 kg sits on a frictionless, horizontal air track. it is connected to a spring of negligible mass and force constant k = 5.00 n/m. you pull on the glider to stretch the spring 0.100 m, and then release the glider. the glider begins to move back toward the equilibrium position (x = 0). what is its speed when x = 0.0800 m?

0.400 m/s

0.300 m/s

0.016 m/s

0.025 m/s

0·300 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the glider = 0·2 kg

Spring constant = k = 5 N/m

At x = 0·1 m, the glider is released, it means that initial velocity of the glider is zero

∴ Total Mechanical energy = potential energy

Equilibrium position is at x = 0 cm

Potential energy in case of spring = 0·5 × k × x²

where k is the spring constant

x is the distance from equilibrium position

Initially potential energy = 0·5 × 5 × (0·1 - 0)² = 0·025 J

As there is no dissipative force, therefore mechanical energy of the glider remains constant

At x = 0·08 m

Mechanical energy of the glider = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

Let the velocity of the glider at x = 0·08 m be v m/s

Kinetic energy at this instant = 0.5 × m × v² = 0·5 × 0·2 × v² J

Potential energy at this instant = 0·5 × k × x² = 0·5 × 5 × 0·08² = 0·016 J

Mechanical energy = 0·5 × 0·2 × v² + 0·016

As mechanical energy is constant

0·025 = 0·5 × 0·2 × v² + 0·016

0·009 = 0·1 × v²

∴ v = 0·300 m/s

∴ Speed when x = 0.0800 m is 0·300 m/s

technology is the application of the knowledge gained by science.

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
