Answer :

Answer:

The speed with which the disk slides across the surface is 1.33095 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of disk = 0.14 kg

Spring constant = 155 N/m

Length = 4 cm

We need to calculate the speed

Using energy conservation

[tex]P.E=K.E[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Where, k = spring constant

x = compressed length

m = mass of the disc

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times155\times(4\times10^{-2})^2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.14\times v^2[/tex]

[tex]v^2=\dfrac{155\times(4\times10^{-2})^2}{0.14}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{155\times(4\times10^{-2})^2}{0.14}}[/tex]

[tex]v=1.33095\ m/s[/tex]

Hence, The speed with which the disk slides across the surface is 1.33095 m/s.
