A 3.5 kg model car travels down a ramp that is 2.3m tall. At the top of the ramp, it is moving with an initial speed of 3.4m/s. At the bottom of the ramp is a 5 cm flat surface that has a spring on the end of it, with a k value of 75 N/m. A) If the ramp is elevated at 25 degrees, how far is the spring compressed? B) What is the speed of the car just as it hits the spring? The ramp has a coefficient of friction| of 0.12 C) How would the velocity of the car at the bottom, and the compression of the spring differ, if the ramp was frictionless? D) Sketch 3 energy bar graphs to illustrate all types of energy. Title your 3 graphs:top of hill; on the hill; and when the spring is halfway compressed.

A 10.0 g bullet is fired into and embeds itself in a 1.80 kg block attached to a spring with a spring constant of 21.5 N/m and whose mass is negligible. How far is the spring compressed if the bullet has a speed of 300 m/s just before it strikes the block, and the block slides on a frictionless surface? (Note: You must use conservation of momentum in this problem.) m
A toy car of mass m is pushed along a frictionless track so that it is moving at a speed v1. It hits a spring with stiffness k at the end of the track causing the spring to compress. What is the maximum compression x of the spring?
Your doctor has told you to watch your weight. Of course, your weight comprises two factors, so you assume that she wants you to watch both your mass and the local value of g. Which explains why you are carrying a small mass mm on an elastic band wherever you go. Most of the time, the elastic band is stretched by a distance of 2.1 cm. However, when you have finished lunch, you go into a very tall building and take the high speed lift (or elevator depending on where you live). Soon after the doors close, you notice that the band (which has linear elastic properties) is stretched by a total distance of 3.5 cm. a) At what rate is the lift accelerating? _____ m.s−2 b) Your doctor will want to know the factor by which your weight has increased after that lunch. Suppose that you stand on scales in the lift while it is accelerating as described above. According to the scales, your weight has increased by a factor of _____ My answers are a)6.6 and b)1.67 but they're wrong.
K Question 13 of 32 A spring hangs from the ceiling with an unstretched length of xo = 0.99 m. A m¡ = 9.1 kg block is hung from the %3D spring, causing the spring to stretch to a length X = 1.18 m. Find the length x2 of the spring when a m2 = 3.3 kg block is hung from the spring. For both cases, all vibrations of the spring are allowed to settle down before any measurements are made. m2 X2 = %3D 0.04 m m,
1. In the figure shown, a 300-g block is initially connected to a compressed spring at point A, where x = 60 cm and k = 150 N/m. It was released and started moving along the horizontal surface (uk = 0.15) until it moves up along the inclined surface (uk = 0.25). The box then stops at point D along the incline with 0 = 40°. www.m Fx- A C 0 B A. What is the velocity of the block at point B? B. If e = 20 m, what is the change in gravitational potential energy from point A to point D? C. If f = 10 m, what is the value of e? D

A 79.2-kg climber is scaling the vertical wall of a mountain. His safety rope is made of a material that, when stretched, behaves like a spring with a spring constant of 1.30 x 103 N/m. He accidentally slips and falls freely for 0.570 m before the rope runs out of slack. How much is the rope stretched when it breaks his fall and momentarily brings him to rest? Number i Units
A block of mass 12 kg slides down a frictionless inclined plane inclined at 35° with no initial velocity and is stopped by a spring of k= 3.0 * 10^4 N/m. The block slides a total distance of d = 3 m from the point where it was released to the point where it stops due to the resistance of the spring. How much is the spring compressed when the block stops?

A horizontal spring with stiffness 0.8 N/m has a relaxed length of 16 cm (0.16 m). A mass of 22 grams (0.022 kg) is attached and you stretch the spring to a total length of 29 cm (0.29 m). The mass is then released from rest. What is the speed of the mass at the moment when the spring returns to its relaxed length of 16 cm (0.16 m)? m/s
