(b) Repeat part (a), but this time assume a constant air-resistance force of 0.600 N acts on the object during its motion. (c) How far does the object compress the spring if the same experiment is performed on the Moon, where g = 1.63 m/s2 and air resistance is neglected?

a 2 kg weight is fasten to a spring on an inclined plane. It has a spring constant of 20 N/m. When the spring is relaxed, the mass sits at the bottom of the incline. It is compressed 0.25 m from its relaxed position, and the weight is released. It goes down the incline, to the horizontal surface and up a second, identical incline. If there were kinetic friction between the weight and the right incline, but none between the weight and the left incline, what would be the coefficient of kinetic friction μk so the maximum height reachable is the same as the starting position (i.e. d=0.25m).
When a 3.0-kg block is pushed against a massless spring of force constant constant 4.5 × 103 N/m, the spring is compressed 8.0 cm. The block is released, and it slides 2.0 m (from the point at which it is released) across a horizontal surface before friction stops it. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface?
The cable of a 1170 kg elevator cab shown in the figure below snaps when the cab is at rest at a height ?=22.9m above a spring with spring constant ?=9.08×10^4N/m. Additionally a constant friction force created by the clamps sliding along the guide rails is experienced by the cab as it moves in the shaft with strength ?f=8.14×10^3N. (a) What isthe maximum distance xthe spring compresses? (b) What is the maximum acceleration experienced by the elevator during its movement described in the problem? Assume no static friction acting on the cab since we can imagine the clamps not engaging until the moment after the cab begins to fall. Also, note that the clamps stay engaged the whole time, including while the spring is being compressed and while the elevator is bouncing back up.
The barricade at the end of a subway line has a large spring designed to compress 2.00 m when stopping a 1.80 105 kg train moving at 0.690 m/s. (a) What is the force constant of the spring? N/m(b) What speed would the train be going if it only compressed the spring 0.620 m? m/s(c) What force does the spring exert when compressed 0.620 m? (Enter the magnitude only.) N
A factory worker drops a 10 kg steel block from rest (m=10). The block then falls 30 cm onto a vertical spring standing on the floor. The spring constant of the spring is 400 N/m (k=400). The block makes contact with the spring, it then continues to move downward, compressing the spring until it comes to rest. (The spring then decompresses, firing the block upward.) Determine the distance that the spring was compressed by the block.
A package is fastened to the lower end of a light vertical spring and rests on a table. The package has a mass M and the upper end of the spring is fastened to a block of mass m. The upper block is pushed down by an additional force 3mg, so the spring compression is 4mg. In this configuration, the upper block is released from rest. The spring lifts the lower block off the table. What is the ratio of M/m that yields the greatest possible value for M? k M
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 daredevil wishes to bungee-jump from a hot-air balloon 64.5 m above a carnival midway. He will use a piece of uniform elastic cord tied to a harness around his body to stop his fall at a point 12.0 m above the ground. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and a tension force described by Hooke's force law. In a preliminary test, hanging at rest from a 5.00-m length of the cord, the jumper finds that his body weight stretches it by 1.65 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the stationary balloon. (a) What length of cord should he use? m(b) What maximum acceleration will he experience? m/s2
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 large toy car is pushed horizontally by a spring, and the spring has a spring constant of 135 N/m. What is the mas of the toy car if compressing the spring 0.055 m (before the toy starts moving) causes it to reach a speed of 0.75 m/s? (Note - the height of the toy does not change.)
