You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 11-m-high hill, then descends 18 m to the track's lowest point. You've determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum of 2.2 m and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 450 kg. For safety reasons, the spring constant should be 10% larger than the minimum needed for the car to just make it over the top. Part A What spring constant should you specify? Express your answer with the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) k= Submit Part B V = μÅ Value What is the maximum speed of a 370 kg car if the spring is compressed the full amount? Express your answer with the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) Submit μA Value Units ? Units ?

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.
