Question
A 1kg puck sliding at 15m/s along some horizontal frictionless ice strikes and compresses a horizontal spring attached to one end of the ice rink.
A 1kg puck sliding at 15m/s along some horizontal frictionless ice strikes and compresses a horizontal spring attached to one end of the ice rink. If the spring has a constant of 35N/m, what is the maximum compression of the spring? If the puck experiences a constant frictional force of 4N opposing its motion beginning when it first strikes the spring, what would the maximum compression of the spring be now?
Step by Step Solution
There are 3 Steps involved in it
Step: 1
To solve this problem we need to use the concept of conservation of momentum and energy Lets first consider the situation without friction 1 Conservat...
