A 1.00 kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Figure a). The object has a speed of vi-3.00 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Figure b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Figure c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Figure d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Figure e). 2. Using the information above, calculate the distance of compression d.

The block slides up a slope to a height of 3.00 m and then slides across a 2.50 m long rough surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to 0.325. The block continues to travel to the right and bumps into a massless spring with a spring constant (k) equal to 2320 N/m. a) How much does the spring get compressed by the block with respect to its equilibrium length? Please answer with a positive number in units of metres, with 3 sig figs. Start with conservation of energy: Er = Ei + WNC , and show all steps. b) What is the potential energy stored by the spring when the mass comes to a stop? Please show the symbolic equation and then “plug in the numbers" to give a numerical answer in units of joules with 3 sig figs. c) What happens to the potential energy stored in the spring after the block stops…

A block of mass 15.0 kg slides from rest down a frictionless 40.0° incline and is stopped by a strong spring with k = 2.90 ✕ 104 N/m.The block slides 3.00 m from the point of release to the point where it comes to rest against the spring. When the block comes to rest, how far has the spring been compressed?
A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.31-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.08 cm and has a force constant of 7.95 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 14.0 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.031 2 N on the ball. (a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? m/s (b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed? cm (from its original position) (c) What is this maximum speed? m/s Need Help?

A 3.0 kg block slides with a speed of 2.3 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface until it encounters a spring. If the block compresses the spring 5.6 cm before coming to rest, what is the force constant of the spring? What initial speed should the block have to compress the spring by 1.4 cm?
In starting a game of pinball, the 44.7 g ball rests on a spring, of spring constant k = 18.8 N/m, that has been compressed by 0.0900 m. If the spring is released, how far up the pinball table (which is inclined at 39.0°) does the ball go before rolling back down again? You can assume it doesn't hit any obstacles on the way up.

You attach a 2.10 kg weight to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the weight until the spring is stretched by 0.300 m and release it from rest. Assume the weight slides on a horizontal surface with negligible friction. The weight reaches a speed of zero again 0.100 s after release (for the first time after release). What is the maximum speed of the weight (in m/s)? 18.85 x Your answer is off by a factor of 2. Note that the given time is the amount of time to make one half of a period, not a full period. m/s Need Help? Read It Submit Answer
A .500kg block attached to a spring with length .60m and force constant 40.0 N/m, is at rest with the back of the block at point A on a frictionless horizontal air table. The mass of the spring is negligible. You move the block to the right along the surface by pulling with a constant 20.0 N horizontal force. what's the block's speed when the black of the block reaches point B, which is 0.25 m to the right of point A.
