Consider the mass-on-a-spring system as shown in the figure below. The spring has a spring constant of 1.81e+3 N/m, and the block has a mass of 0.988 kg. There is a constant force of kinetic friction between the mass and the floor of 1.79 N. Starting with the spring compressed by 0.172 m from its equilibrium position, how far will the block travel once it leaves the spring? (Assume that block leaves the spring at at the spring's equilibrium position, marked x=0 in the figure.

nah.   i'm just sleepy.

it is called kinetic energy

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.
