In the figure, a 2.6 kg block is accelerated from rest by a compressed spring of spring constant 660 N/m. The block leaves the spring at the spring's relaxed length and then travels over a horizontal floor with a coefficient of kinetic friction -0.272. The frictional force stops the block in distance D 7.9 m. What are (a) the increase in the thermal energy of the block-floor system, (b) the maximum kinetic energy of the block, and (c) the original compression distance of the spring? DURRES No friction
A conservative force F is in +x-direction and has a magnitude F(x)=3.00/(x+0.080)4 N. Let U(x) approach 0 when x approaches infinity. An object with mass 5.00 kg is released from rest at x = 0 and moves in the +x-direction. If F is the only force action on the object, what is the object's speed when it reaches x = 0.500 m?
A block with a mass m is initially compressing a spring by x1 on a horizontal floor with no friction. The spring has a spring constant k. The block is realeased from rest and travels a total distance of D including x1 and has a speed of v. what is the coefficent of kinetic friction between the floor and block?
A mass of 10.0 kg is attached to a spring on a frictionless horizontal surface. The spring constant k = 504 Newtons/meters. The spring is stretched until the Potential Energy of the spring is 2.52 Joules. What is the displacement ( in meters) in the spring?
A box with 15 kg of mass slides down an inclined plane that is 1.5 m high and 3.6 m along the inclined plane. Due to friction the box reaches 4.3 m/s at the bottom of the inclined plane. Beyond the inclined plane lies a spring with 600 N/m constant. It is fixed at its right end. The level ground between the incline and the spring has no friction When the box is temporarily stopped by the spring, how much is the spring compressed in m? Hint: start from the bottom of the inclined plane since you know the speed of the box there. Not all values must be used.
A box of mass 2.0 kg, traveling horizontally, hits an uncompressed spring with an initial velocity, Vo, and compresses the spring to a maximum distance of 0.05 meters (at the maximum distance the box stops). The value of the spring force constant is k= 50 N/m. There is no friction in the system. Use the work-energy theorem (chapter 6) to find the initial velocity, Vo, of the box.
A 3.62 kg ball is pushed against a horizontal spring whose force constant is 1126 N/m, compressing the spring to x=0.277 m. When the system is released, the ball traveled along the horizontal surface whose coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.203 and then up a frictionless plane inclined at 0=29.3° above the horizontal. If the ball has reached a distance of d=0.9 m along the plane before sliding back downwards, how far did the ball travel the moment it leaves the spring until it reached the bottom of the inclined? -x- d O 3.55 m O 1.29 m O 3.83 m O 5.72 m x=0 0

A box is pressed against a horizontal spring, compressing the spring from its relaxed length. The box is then released and the spring launches the box horizontally along a track that ends in a ramp, as shown above. The box has enough speed to leave the ramp, and the box reaches a maximum vertical height above the floor. Assume there is negligible friction between the box and the track and air resistance is negligible. K = spring constant of spring X = distance the spring is compressed M = mass box Theta = angle of ramp from horizontal H = maximum height reached by box The scenario is repeated using a different box with a greater mass. The spring is compressed the same distance x. Indicate how h in this second scenario compares to h in the original scenario, and explain why without mathematically deriving a relation for h. Students derive an equation for h in the original scenario, h= (sin2theta)kx2/2Mg, which may or may not be correct. Is this equation consistent with your claim…
