A 90-gram mass is placed on a vertically oriented spring that then is stretched 0.5 meters below its equilibrium position and released. If the spring constant is 200 N/m, how fast will the mass be moving when it reaches the equilibrium position? Hint: You cannot ignore the change in gravitational potential energy in this problem. Please give your answer in units of m/s, however, do not explicitly include units when typing your answer into the answer box. Including actual units will result in your answer being incorrectly scored.
A box slides down the ramp of an assembly line and compresses a spring. Assume no energy is lost due to friction and that the spring constant is 821821 N/m. If the 13.513.5 kg box compresses the spring by 0.3520.352 m, what is the height of the ramp?
A 1.4 kg block is initially falling downward toward the top of a vertical spring. At the instant the block hits the top of this vertical spring (with a spring constant 1,110.1 N/m), the block is 0.5 m above the ground. After hitting the spring, the block compresses the spring until it is only 0.1 m above the ground. How fast was the block moving when it initially hit the top of the spring?
A 1500-kg car moving at 20 m/s hits an initially uncompressed horizontal ideal spring. What is the spring constant if the maximum distance the spring compresses is 0.5 m? 2.4 x 10° N/m 3.0 x 106 N/m 2.0 x 106 N/m 1.0 x 106 N/m
As a 16,400 kg jet plane lands on an aircraft carrier, its tail hook snags a cabie to slow it down. The cable is attached to a spring with spring constant 71,500 N/m. If the spring stretches 36 m to stop the plane, what was the plane's landing speed? m/s
When a 3 kg mass is hung on a vertical spring, it extends the spring by 2.00 m. What is the spring constant of the spring in N/m? (Assume g = 10m/s2).
When a m = 12 kg mass is on a frictionless incline of 30 degrees and takes 270 N to compress a spring 2.0 cm: The block briefly stops when the spring is compressed to 5.5 cm a) How far did it travel. I found the answer is 35 cm b) What is the speed of the 12 kg block as it touches the spring? How do I do part b? I got the spring constant k = 13500 and used 1/2 kx^2 to find how many joules it has at compressing the spring to 5.5 cm. When I set that equal to 1/2 mv^2 I did not get the right answer. How would I go about finding b?
A 0.350 kg potato is tied to a string with length 2.80 m, and the other end of the string is tied to a rigid support. The potato is held straight out horizontally from the point of support, with the string pulled taut, and is then released. What is the speed of the potato at the lowest point of its motion? Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s2.
A 1.30 kg block slides on a frictionless horizontal surface until it encounters a spring with a force constant of 520 N/m. The block comes to rest after compressing the spring by the distance of 2.50 cm.What was the initial speed of the block ? O 0.25 m/s 5.0 m/s O 31.6 m/s O 0.50 m/s
A 5.00 ✕ 105 kg subway train is brought to a stop from a speed of 0.500 m/s in 0.300 m by a large spring bumper at the end of its track. What is the force constant k of the spring (in N/m)? N/m
The tension in a ligament in the human knee is approximately proportional to the extension of the ligament, if the extension is not too large. If a particular ligament has an effective spring constant of 160 N/mm as it is stretched, what is the tension in this ligament when it is stretched by 0.760 cm? What is the maximum compression of the spring? The spring sends the block back to the left. How high does the block rise?
A block with mass of 0.85 kg is released at the top of a frictionless ramp, 1.2 m above the floor. The block slides down the ramp then moves across the floor until it comes to a stop, compressing the spring 15 cm. Force constant of the spring is equal to 150 N/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is 0.22. 1. Determine the distance traveled by the block across thefloor.
