The speed of block as it passes through the equilibrium will be:
"32 cm/s".
Mass and Velocity
According to the question,
Mass of block, m = 2.8 kg
Spring constant, k = 500 N/m
Initial position, x = 5 cm
Coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.35
The energy stored will be:
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] kx²
By substituting the values,
= 0.5 × 500 × (0.05)²
= 0.625 J
Now,
Work done,
= -μmg × μ × m × d
= -0.35 × 2.8 × 9.8 × 0.05
= -0.48 J
When it reaches to the position of equilibrium, the energy of mass will be:
= 0.625 - 0.48
= 0.145 J
hence, the velocity will be:
→ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] mv² = 0.145
0.5 × 2.8 × v² = 0.145
v² = 0.10357
v = 0.32 m/s or,
= 32 cm/s
Thus the above approach is correct.
