Question

3. Box of mass 2.5 kg meets a spring when it is travelling 1.2 m/s. After the box contacts the spring, the spring compresses to a maximum of 5.0 cm at which point the box is travelling on a friction surface. The work done by the friction is – 0.50 J. a. (5 points) What is the spring constant of the spring? b. (5 points) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the rough surface?

Step 1

The initial kinetic energy (KE) of the box can be calculated using the formula: KE = (1/2) * m * v^2 where m is the mass of the box and v is the velocity of the box. Given: m = 2.5 kg v = 1.2 m/s Substituting the given values into the formula, we get: KE = (1/2) Show more…
