32. A rifle fires a 2.10 × 10-²-kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the trigger is pulled. The spring has a negligible mass and is compressed by 9.10 x 10-2 m from its unstrained length. The pellet rises to a maximum height of 6.10 m above its position on the compressed spring. Ignoring air resistance, determine the spring constant.

2. Spiderman uses his spider webs to save a runaway train moving about 60 km/h. His web streches a few city blocks (500 m) before the 10^4 kg train comes to a stop. Assuming the web acts like a spring, estimate the effective spring constant in N/m. Answer in 1 decimal point.
A 1.5 kg block is forced against a horizontal spring, compressing the spring 0.17 m. When released, the block moves on a horizontal table top for 1.01 m before coming to rest. The spring constant is 112 N/m. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table
A 2.0 kg block is placed against a spring on a frictionless 30 degrees incline (from the horizontal). The spring, whose spring constant is 1960 N/m, is compressed 20 cm and then released. How far along the incline does it send the block? (Ans.= 4m)
A block, mass 3.5kg, compresses a spring (k= 2345N/m) a distance of 25cm and is held at rest there. The block is initially on a surface that has an incline of 45 degrees. The block then travels up the slope to a level surface that is 0.85m above it's original launch height. As it travels along this surface, it encounters a 0.75m patch of a frictional surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.12. Finally, the block hits a spring (k=1234 N/m), compresses it, and comes to rest. How much will the spring compress in order for the box to be at rest?
A 0.260-kg block along a horizontal track has a speed of 1.60 m/s immediately before colliding with a light spring of force constant 4.80 N/m located at the end of the track. (a) What is the spring's maximum compression if the track is frictionless? m (b) If the track is not frictionless, would the spring's maximum compression be greater than, less than, or equal to the value obtained in part (a)?

1. In the figure shown, a 300-g block is initially connected to a compressed spring at point A, where x = 60 cm and k = 150 N/m. It was released and started moving along the horizontal surface (uk = 0.15) until it moves up along the inclined surface (uk = 0.25). The box then stops at point D along the incline with 0 = 40°. www.m Fx- A C 0 B A. What is the velocity of the block at point B? B.

9 Spaceman Spiff lost his ship's altimeter during a freak meteor storm, but he needs to know when to deploy his retro rockets to insure a safe landing back on earth. Luckily, he has his trusty toy dart gun whose spring has a 110 N/m spring constant. He loads his 7.2 gram suction cup dart, compresses the spring 4.0 cm, takes vertical aim at the cabin ceiling, and shoots. The suction cup dart flies 1.47 meters above its initial spring-compressed position. What is Spiff's altitude above earth? a
Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as in the figure below. The helper spring engages when the main leaf spring is compressed by distance Yo' then helps to support any additional load. Consider a leaf spring constant of 5.35 × 105 N/m, helper spring constant of 3.60 × 105 N/m, and y₁ = 0.500 m. Truck body Yo Axle (a) What is the compression of the leaf spring for a load of 4.10 × 105 N? 0.69 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. m (b) How much work is done compressing the springs? J and
