A wooden block with mass 1.05 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of a slope inclined at an angle of 35.0 degrees (point A). When the spring is released, it projects the block up the incline. At point B, a distance of 4.90m up the incline from A, the block is moving up the incline at a speed of 5.10 m/s and is no longer in contact with the spring. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and incline is 0.55. The mass of the spring is negligible. Calculate the amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring.

Explanation:

energy stored in spring initially

= kinetic + potential energy of block + energy dissipated by friction

= 1/2 mv² + mgh + μ mgcosθ x  d

m is mass , v is velocity at top position , h is vertical height , μ is coefficient of friction ,θ is angle of inclination of plane

= m (1/2 v² + gh + μ gcosθ x  d )

= 1.05 ( .5 x 5.1² + 9.8 x 4.9 sin35 + .55 x 9.8 cos35 x 4.9 )

= 1.05 ( 13.005 + 27.543 + 21.635)

= 65.3 J .

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
