A block of mass 0.490 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x. The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the block travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point circled A, the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The speed of the block at the bottom of the track is vA = 13.4 m/s, and the block experiences an average frictional force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. What is x? and what is the speed of the block if it reaches the top?

The value of x is $x = 0.1955\ m$

The value of the velocity at the top is $v_{top} = 2.25 \ m/s$

Explanation:

The diagram of this process is on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is m_b = 0.490kg

The distance of compression is

The force constant is k = 450 N/m

The radius of the circular track is R =1.00m

The speed at the bottom of the track is $v_A = 13.4 \ m/s$

The frictional force experienced is $F_f = 7.00 \ N$

Now looking at this process we see that the potential energy of the spring is been transformed into the kinetic energy of the block . So,

$PE \ of \ spring = KE \ of \ block$

mathematically i.e

$\frac{1}{2}k x^2 = \frac{1}{2} m_bv^2_A$

0.5 * 450 * x^2 = 0.5 * 0.490 * 13.4^2

Making x the subject of the formula

$x = \sqrt{\frac{0.5 * 0.490 * 13.4^2}{ 0.5 * 450} }$

$= 0.1955\ m$

The average workdone by friction is $W_f = F_f * \pi$

Here $\pi is \ the\ net\ displacement$

W_f = 7 * 3.142

= 21.99 J

The kinetic energy at the bottom is

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * 0.490 * 13.4^2$

$= 43.99 \ N$

The potential energy gained at the top of the circle is

PE = m_bgh

Here h is the height which is equal to d(diameter) = 2r = 2 × 1 = 2 m and

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Now substituting values

PE = 0.490 * 9.8 *2

=9.604 J

Since energy is can not be created nor destroyed but transformed according to first law of thermodynamics

$KE_{at \bottom} = PE _ {\ at \ top } + W_f + KE_{\ at \ top}$

$43.99 = 9.604 +21.99 + [\frac{1}{2} m_b * v_{top} ^2]$

$12.369= [2.45* v_{top} ^2]$

$v_{top} =\sqrt{\frac{12.369}{2.45} }$

$= 2.25 \ m/s$

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. a brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. a laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. in order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0 km in diameter. staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser. part a if λ = 540nm , what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
