Answer:
book speed is 3.99 m/s
Explanation:
given data
mass m = 490 g = 0.490 kg
compressing x = 7.10 cm = 0.0710 m
spring constant k = 1550 N/m
to find out
book speed
solution
we know energy is conserve so
we can say
loss in spring energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy
so
[tex]\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2 = \frac{1}{2}*m*v^2[/tex] ..................1
put here value
[tex]\frac{1}{2}*1550*0.071^2 = \frac{1}{2}*0.490*v^2[/tex]
v = 3.99 m/s
so book speed is 3.99 m/s
