How Do Energy Conversions Occur in a Spring-Loaded Device?

AI Thread Summary
Energy conversions in a spring-loaded device involve the transformation of strain energy into kinetic energy when the spring is compressed and then released. As the device ascends, it gains potential energy at its highest point before descending, where kinetic energy is again present. Upon reaching the ground, sound energy is produced as the device impacts. To enhance the explanation, consider discussing the maximum velocity achieved and the maximum height reached, including potential energy at that height. Overall, a thorough description of these energy transformations will effectively address the homework prompt.

Homework Statement



Describe the energy conversions of a device which is on a spring which is compressed then released and then spring bresks the device bounces up in the air.

Homework Equations



ignore air resistantance

The Attempt at a Solution



The device goes from strain energy to kinetic energy at the highest point it has potential energy then goes back down with kinetic energy then reaching the ground with ending of sound energy with the noise

What else can I say for 7 marks?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
assume a compersion in spring and thus calculate max velocity of the device
find max height that device gains and its petential energy there (assume refrence as ground)
or even you can calculate the time period of the continuous motion
 
Thanks but the q did not ask for calculation

Just a description
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
