An ideal spring is attached to the ceiling. While the spring is held at its relaxed length, a wooden block (M = 850 g) is attached to the bottom of the spring, and a ball of clay (m = 210 g) is pressed onto the bottom of the block so that they stick together. The block+clay are gently lowered through a distance of d = 2.7 cm and are then released, at which point they hang motionlessly from the bottom of the spring. After a few minutes have passed, the clay unsticks itself from the block and falls from rest to the ground. 1. What is the resulting period T of the block’s oscillation after the separation occurs? 2. As d approaches 0, what limit does T approach?
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?

Below is a conservation of energy problem. The solution to this problem is provided. Assess whether the solution provided is correct or incorrect AND EXPLAIN WHY. = 4.6 kg block is at rest against a horizontal spring that is compressed by 0.40 m. The spring has a spring constant of k₁ 2750 N/m. After leaving the spring, it travels up a 28° incline to a height of 2.8 m. At the top of the hill is a second spring with a spring constant of k₂ = 350 N/m. The horizontal portions are frictionless, but the hill has a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to uk = 0.16.
