connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley. The blos orizontal surface and is connected to a spring of force constant k. The system is rest when the spring is unstretched. If the hanging block of mass m2 falls a distance h be rest, calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block of mass mi and the su (Hint: Use the principle of conservation of energy) Question 4 (20pt) Airplane flight recorders are made to survive horrific crashes. In an im 41.0 kg box for the recorder is projected at a wall. The speed of the box to a halt in 6.5 ms collision with the wall. (a)What is the magnitude of the average acceleration exerted on the b the magnitude of the average force exerted on the box during the coll Solution 3] By energy conservation, Work done by all forces = change in KE m2 gh - u m1g h - 0.5kh^2 = 0 u = [m2 g - 0.5kh ]/(m1g) coefficient of friction u =Â Â [m2 g - 0.5kh ]/(m1g) .
