A 2.50-kg textbook is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass and force constant 250 N/m, compressing the spring a distance of 0.250 m. When released, the textbook slides on a horizontal tabletop with coefficient of kinetic friction \mu_kμ k ​  = 0.30. Use the work–energy theorem to find how far the text-book moves from its initial position before coming to rest.

Answer:

L = 1.06 m

Explanation:

As per work energy theorem we know that work done by all forces must be equal to change in kinetic energy

so here we will have

[tex]W_{spring} + W_{friction} = KE_f - KE_i[/tex]

now we know that

[tex]W_{spring} = \frac{1}{2}kx^2[/tex]

[tex]W_{friction} = -\mu mg L[/tex]

initial and final speed of the book is zero so initial and final kinetic energy will be zero

[tex]\frac{1}{2}kx^2 - \mu mg L= 0 - 0[/tex]

here we know that

k = 250 N/m

x = 0.250 m

m = 2.50 kg

now plug in all data in it

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(250)(0.250)^2 = 0.30(2.50)(9.81)L[/tex]

now we have

[tex]7.8125 = 7.3575L[/tex]

[tex]L = 1.06 m[/tex]

The distance that the textbook moves from its initial position before coming to rest is 1.0629m

According to the  work-energy theorem, the work done on the spring is equal to the work done by friction

Work done by the spring = [tex]\frac{1}{2}kx^2[/tex]

Work done by friction = [tex]\mu mgL[/tex]

k is the spring constant = 250 N/m

x is the distance moved by the spring = 0.250m

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the coefficient of friction = 0.30

m is the mass of the textbook = 2.50kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

L is the distance from its initial position before coming to rest

Using the formula

[tex]\frac{1}{2} kx^2=\mu mgL[/tex]

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

[tex]\frac{1}{2} (250)(0.25)^2=0.3 (2.5)(9.8)L\\7.8125=7.35L\\L=\frac{7.8125}{7.35}\\L= 1.0629m[/tex]

Hence the distance that the textbook moves from its initial position before coming to rest is 1.0629m
