Static and Kinetic Friction

Kinetic friction comes into existence when there are moving surfaces means in other words we can say that the force which comes into existing between moving surfaces is known as kinetic friction.

You have a toy that uses a spring to shoot darts. A dart has a mass of 5 g, andthe spring has a spring constant of 666 N/m. When loaded, the spring is compressed 5 cm fromits equilibrium position. You launch a dart horizontally. If the barrel of the dart gun exerts14 N of friction on the dart, how fast is the dart traveling when it is launched?
Bumpers are built with springs that compress to provide a stopping force without, hopefully, denting the metal. Bumpers on cars are not of much use in a collision. To see why, calculate the magnitude of average force (to the nearest Newton) a bumper would have to exert if it brought a 1,870.99-kg car (a so-called compact model) to a rest in 15 cm when the car had an initial speed of 1.8 m/s.
A toy gun uses a spring to project a 5.3 - g soft rubbersphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, thebarrel of the gun is 15 cm long, and a constant frictional forceof 0.032 N exists between barrel and projectile. With whatspeed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring wascompressed 5.0 cm for this launch?
A particular spring has a rest length of 5.0 cm when it is not compressed, and a length of 4.5 cm when a mass of 10kg is placed on top of it. How long is the spring with the 10kg mass on top when it is taken into an elevator accelerating upwards at 1.0 m/s2 ?

A cart of mass 4 kg is on frictionless surface and compressed against an ideal spring with spring constant 192 N/m for a distance of 1.04 m.

Find the velocity of the second cart in m/s immediately AFTER being hit by the first cart. Use g = 9.8 m/s² and retain your answer to two decimal places. ✓ k m1 m2 Дийм m1 m2 Loo 1 h₂
