Concept explainers

Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

A box of mass m = 0.14 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of kį = 670 N/m which has been compressed by a distance of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 204 N/m. (a) How far, d, in meters, will the second spring compress when the box runs into it? (b) How fast, v in meters per second, will the box be moving when it strikes the second spring? (c) Now assume that the surface is rough (that is, not frictionless). You perform the experiment and observe| that the second spring only compresses a distance dy/2. How much energy, in joules, was lost to friction? m
