Ablock of mass 2 kg slides down a frictionless ramp of length 1.3 m tilted at an angle 25o to the horizontal. at the bottom of the ramp the block slides on the floor and collides with a spring which it compressed 24 cm.
1. draw a plot of the velocity of the block where t=0 is when the block hits the spring.
2. draw a plot of the position of the block where t=0 is when the block hits the spring.

Diagrams in pictures

Explanation:

Using energy I can get

m g h = 1/2 m v^2

So the velocity at the end of the ramp is the squareroot of two times the initial height of the box times the gravity constant.

(H= 1,3m sin25)

V=2,32m/s

V= a t

And

X= v t +1/2 a t^2

Knowing v=2,32 m/s and x= 1,3 m

I can get

a= 6,21m/s2

F= m a

I can get the force of the box when it collides with the spring

F= 12, 425 N

The force the spring makes on the box then is

F = -12,425N = -k d

Then the spring's constant is k= 51,75N/m

To make the two diagrams I need the functions of time when the box slows down

I use the same two equations

V= a t

And

X= v t + 1/2 a t^2

Being now 2,32 my initial velocity and 0 my final velocity, and my distance 0,24 m.

I get there the time t=0,0689 seconds and the acceleration a= -33,67 m/s2 (negative because it's slowing down).

Then,

V(t)= - 33,67 m/s2 t for time between 0 and 0,689 sec

X(t)= 2,32 m/s t + 1/2 33,67 m/s2 t^2.

for time between 0 and 0,689 sec

Diagrams and equations are in the pictures

the temperature and the pressure affect solubility. temperature affects by changing the properties of the solvent. the increase in pressure increases solubility, the decrease in pressure decreases solubility.
