You attach your 4.58 - kg Physics for Engineers book to a horizontal spring (k = 549 N/m). You then pull the book to a distance of 6.7 cm and released it from rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between your book and the surface is 0.31, calculate the block's speed as it passes through its original position.
An M = 22.4 kg sled slides on a rough horizontal ground. The sled hits a spring when it is traveling with a horizontal velocity of vi = 12.3 m/s. The sled compresses the spring at a distance of x = 2.12 m before coming to rest. If the force constant of the spring is k = 550 N/m, find the effective coefficient of kinetic friction, μk, between the sled and the ground
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?
A 2.00 kg mass on a frictionless incline plane of angle 6 degrees is released and begins sliding down the incline. At the bottom of the incline is a spring (k=70 N/m). If the mass slides 0.30 m along the incline plane before it contacts the spring, how far is the spring compressed by the mass? (round to the nearest hundredth)
Problem 5: A block of mass 4.2 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at the bottom that has a spring constant of 490 N/m (refer to the figure). The angle of the ramp with respect to the horizontal is 39⁰
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.
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
A spring with a spring constant of 51.1 N/m is hung from the ceiling. A block is then attached to the free end of the spring. When released from rest, the block drops 0.160 m before momentarily coming to rest, after which it moves back upward. What is the mass of the block?
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
During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with large catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke's law with a spring constant of 130 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 5.30 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length?
An elevator car of mass 805 kg falls from rest 3.30 m, hits a buffer spring, and then travels an additional 0.370 m, as it compresses the spring by a maximum of 0.370 m. What is the force constant of the spring?
