Answer:
3.52 m/s
Explanation:
work done by the compressing the spring = 1/2 K e² where K is the force constant = 1000 N/m, e is the compression = 2cm = (2 / 100) to convert it to m we divide by 100 = 0.02 m
work done by compressing the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = 0.5 × 1000 × 0.02 = 10 J
work done by force of friction to hinder the motion = F × d = 4 × 0.02 m = 0.08 J
Kinetic energy of the body = work done by compressing the spring - work done by force of friction against the motion = 10 - 0.08 = 9.92
9.92 = 1/2 m v² where m is the mass of the body which = 1.6 kg and v is the speed as it passes through the equilibrium point
9.92 = 1/2 × 1.6 × v²
9.92 × 2 / 1.6 = v²
v² = 19.84 / 1.6 = 12.4
v = √12.4 = 3.52 m/s
