Answer:
Explanation:
The kinetic energy possessed by the block when sliding will be equal to the energy needed to compress the string.
Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv² and energy stored in the spring = 1/2 ke²
m = mass of the block (in kg) = 2.8 kg
v = speed of the block (in m/s) = 2.4 m/s
k = force constant of the spring
e = extension (in metres) = 0.056m
Since KE = energy stored in the spring
1/2 mv² = 1/2 ke²
mv² = ke²
2.8(2.4)²  = k(0.056)²
16.128 = 0.003136k
k = 16.128/0.003136
k = Â 5,142.86
The force constant of the spring is 5,236.36
The force that constant of the spring is 5,142.86.
The kinetic energy that should be possessed by the block at the time when sliding will be equivalent to the energy required to compress the string.
Here
Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv² and energy stored in the spring = 1/2 ke²
m = mass of the block (in kg) = 2.8 kg
v = speed of the block (in m/s) = 2.4 m/s
k = force constant of the spring
e = extension (in metres) = 0.056m
Since KE = energy stored in the spring
So,
1/2 mv² = 1/2 ke²
mv² = ke²
Now
2.8(2.4)²  = k(0.056)²
16.128 = 0.003136k
k = 16.128/0.003136
k = Â 5,142.86
