A block of m = 0.72 kg is pressed against a horizontal spring. To do so, you need a force of 55 N to compress the spring by 15 cm. Then the block is released and moves to the right on a horizontal and frictionless plane. a) What is the velocity with which the block leaves the spring? b) After that, the block enters an area where there is some friction between block and surface. The block comes to rest 1.6 m after it entered the surface with friction. What is the frictional coefficient between block and surface?

Physics students do an expriment to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between a wooden object and the horizontal table it is on. This object has a mass of 1.6 kg. The students push it against a spring, which compresses the spring by 18cm. When released, the spring sends the object moving across the table and it stops 82 cm from where it was released. The spring constant is 200 N/m. Find the obeject-table coefficient of kinetic friction.
When a 3.5 kg block is pushed against a massless spring of force constant 4.5 x 103 N/m, the spring is compressed 7.9 cm. The block is released, and it slides 2.8 m (from the point at which it is released) across a horizontal surface before friction stops it. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface?
You decide to launch a rockof mass m1 using a tube containing a spring of spring constant k. When the spring is at equilibrium, it fills the entire tube. To launch a rock, you push it into the tube, compressing the spring a distance d, at which point a locking mechanism holds the spring(and the rock) in place. When the lockis released, the spring pushes the rock to the end of the tube where it will be launched into the air. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the inside surface of the tube is given by μk. You setup the launcher at an angle q above the horizontal with the spring end buried such that when the spring is compressed and locked, the rock is at ground level. a)Find the work done on the rock by non-conservative forces as it moves from the point of release to the end of the tube. Express your answer in terms of μk, m1, q, d, and any necessaryconstants. b) Find the velocity of the rockvfas it exits the launch tube in terms of μk, k, m1, q, d, and any…
A) A1.2 kg block slides down a frictionless incline with a slope angle of 42", starting from a height h =3.2 m above the bottom of the incline, as shown in Figure (2). The incline meets a frictionless horizontal surface, at the end of which is a spring in its equilibrium position (k 460 N/m) used to stop the block. Find the maximum compression of the spring.

The ball launcher in a pinball machine has a spring that has a force constant of 1.23 N/cm. The surface on which the ball moves is in- clined 15.6◦ with respect to the horizontal. If the spring is initially compressed 3.58 cm, find the launching speed of a 0.19 kg ball when the plunger is released. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Friction and the mass of the plunger are negligible.
In the figure, a 4.3 kg block slides along a track from one level to a higher level after passing through an intermediate valley. The track is frictionless until the block reaches the higher level. There a frictional force stops the block in a distance d. The block's initial speed is vo -7.1 m/s, the height difference is h 1.0 m, and -0.559. Find d. Number 3.706509438 Units μ=0-
