An ideal spring with k = 8 N/m is initially compressed 0.40 m. One end is attached to a wall and the other is attached to a 1.0 kg block. The block is released from rest and slides 0.20 m on the horizontal surface before coming to rest (the spring is still compressed by 0.20 m at this time). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface is Fung Answer: 0.163 X X=0
The 20 kg block is sliding down an inclined plane at a 30 ° inclined friction and is stopped by a spring with a spring constant k = 2 x 10 ^ 4 N / m. The block shifted to a total distance of 4 m from the point where it was released to the point where it stopped with the resistance of the spring. How many meters is the bow compressed when the block stops? (g = 10 m / s ^ 2)
You attach a 1.90 kg block to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the block until the spring is stretched by 0.500 m and release it from rest. Assume the block slides on a horizontal surface with negligible friction. The block reaches a speed of zero again 0.500 s after release (for the first time after release). What is the maximum speed of the block (in m/s)?
As shown in the figure, a 1.50-kg box is held at rest against a spring with a force constant k = 790 N/m that is compressed a distance d. When the box is released, it slides across a surface that is frictionless, except for a rough patch that has a coefficient of kinetic friction u, = 0.400 and is 6.00 cm in length. If the speed of the box is 1.50 m/s after sliding across the rough patch, determine the initial compression d of the spring. cm Equilibrium position v=0' rough patch wwwwwn 6.00 cm

The spring has a spring constant of 1900 N/m. m 10000000 How far will the spring be compressed in stopping the box? Submit Answer Tries 0/10 How far will the spring be compressed when the box's speed is reduced to half of its initial speed? Note: This is not saying that the box starts with half of the original speed, the box still starts with 15 m/s, the question asks how far the spring will have been compressed when it has slowed the box to half of that speed.

A block sitting on a frictionless surface is attached to a spring of spring constant k. The other end of the spring is attached to the wall. The equilibrium length of the spring is x1. The spring is first compressed to a distance of x2, then released and extended to a length of x3. The elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is extended to x3 can be calculated as: х, wwWO wwWO A block oscillating on the end of a spring Pick the correct answer PE = }ka?
