A 12-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a light spring (force constant 0.80 kN/m). The block is initially at rest at its equilibrium position when a force (magnitude P- 80 N) acting parallel to the surface is applied to the block, as shown. What is the speed of the block when it is 13 cm from its equilibrium position? a. 0.78 m/s b. 0.81 m/s c. 0.71 m/s d. 0.58 m/s e. 0.64 m/s

An object is initially held at rest from a height of 4 m. The object is then released. A. Use conservation of energy to find the velocity right before it hits the ground B. Use the position equation to find the time it takes to reach the ground.
When a m = 12 kg mass is on a frictionless incline of 30 degrees and takes 270 N to compress a spring 2.0 cm: The block briefly stops when the spring is compressed to 5.5 cm a) How far did it travel. I found the answer is 35 cm b) What is the speed of the 12 kg block as it touches the spring? How do I do part b? I got the spring constant k = 13500 and used 1/2 kx^2 to find how many joules it has at compressing the spring to 5.5 cm. When I set that equal to 1/2 mv^2 I did not get the right answer. How would I go about finding b?
