( B)the object is in pulled straight down by an additional distance of 0.19 m and released from rest. Find the speed with which the object passes through its original position on the way up.
A 0.46 kg block is hung from and stretches a spring that is attached to the ceiling. A second block is attached to the first one, and the amount that the spring stretches from its unstretched length triples. What is the mass of the second block?
The system is released from rest with no slack in the cable and with the spring stretched 200 mm. Determine the distance s traveled by the 3.6-kg cart before it comes to rest (a) if m approaches zero and (b) if m = 2.4 kg. Assume no mechanical interference and no friction. The distance s is positive if up the incline, negative if down. k = 105 N/m 3.6 kg 25° m Answers: (a) m = 0, S = (b) m = 2.4 kg, S = i

A 5.75-kg mass stretches a vertical spring 0.5 m. If the spring is stretched an additional 1 m and released, how long does it take to reach the (new) equilibrium position again? (How do I find the amount of time?)
A mass of 2.5 kg is hung from the end of a vertical spring and eased into equilibrium. The spring stretches 1.4 meters from its rest position as a result. How far, in meters, will the same spring stretch from its rest position if a 3.5-kg mass is hung from the end of it?
A spring with a spring constant of 112 N/m has a mass hung on it so that it stretches 1.2 cm. Calculate how much mass the spring is supporting.
