A block of mass m 8.2 kg slides on a rough surface and moves toward a spring with a spring constant k = 1874 N/m, as shown in the figure below. When the block is d = 17.4m away from the spring, it has a velocity of v. At the instant the block momentarily stops, it has compressed the spring by x = 30 cm. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface below is u = 0.37, what is the block's velocity, v =? Provide your answer in units of m/s using one decimal place. Take g = 9.80 m/s². k m d Answer:
A dart gun contains a spring of spring constant k = 16 N/m which is used to shoot a dart of mass m. The dart leaves the gun at a speed of v = 3.1 m/s after the spring is compressed 1 cm. what is the darts speed when it hits the floor (vf in m/s) if it is fired horizontally at a height of h = 2 m what angle in degree does the darts final velocity make with the horizontal?

In the figure here, two children are playing a game in which they try to hit a small box on the floor with a marble fired from a spring- loaded gun that is mounted on a table. The target box is horizontal distance D = 2.18 m from the edge of the table. Bobby compresses the spring 1.18 cm, but the center of the marble falls 25.6 cm short of the center of the box. How far should Rhoda compress the spring to score a direct hit? Assume that neither the spring nor the ball encounters friction in the gun. 00000 Number i Unit
An ideal spring of negligible mass with force constant of 400 N/m is placed on a frictionless horizonal table with one end fixed at a wall next to the table. A billiard ball of mass 200 g is pushed against the spring, compressing the spring to some distance. After the system is released, the spring returns to equilibrium with the billiard ball leaving the table’s edge at 4.00 m/s and hits the floor 80 cm below. Using the principle of energy conservation, (a) determine the initial compression of the spring. (b) What is the speed of the ball when it hits the floor?
A 0.053 kg bullet is fired into a 5.38 kg wood block, which is attached to a pendulum. At the instant after they collide inelastically, the total mechanical energy of the system is 24.1 J. At the top of the swing of the pendulum, the block and bullet have risen to a maximum height, h, and now have a velocity of v = 0 m/s Use conservation of energy to find the maximum height, h, of the block + bullet system. Hint: The following formula will be useful PE = mx9.8×h %3D
A spring with spring constant of 100 N/m launches a 20 g ball verticallyn into the air. If the ball reaches a height of 20 m, determine the original compression distance of the spring.
One end of a spring is attached to a solid wall while the other end just reaches to the edge of a horizontal, frictionless tabletop, which is a distance h above the floor. A block of mass M is placed against the end of the spring and pushed toward the wall until the spring has been compressed a distance X, as shown above. The block is released, follows the trajectory shown, and strikes the floor a horizontal distance D from the edge of the table. Air resistance is negligible. What is the spring constant?
