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)
Question: A spring with a force constant of 51 N/m is compressed by 1.2 cm in a hockey game machine. The compressed spring is used to accelerate a small metal puck with a mass of 71.2 grams which will then slide up an inclined surface inside the machine. Assume friction is so tiny it may be ignored in this problem. How high in cm above its initial vertical position will the puck rise before stopping (momentarily at least)? Note: Convert units as necessary.
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.
In order to stop a 15.0 kilogram block from sliding down a frictionless 40.0° incline, a powerful spring with k = 2.90 104 N/m is used. Blocks can travel up to 3.00 meters after they are released from their resting place against springs. How much of the spring's original tension will remain after the block comes to a halt?
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.
