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.
In the figure below the block has m = 3.0 kg and the spring has k = 350 N/m. If the block, initially at rest, is released from a height of 0.8 m, what is the maximum compression of the spring? Ignore friction.
You have a spring of spring constant k, and a block of mass 0.200 kg. You set the spring up vertically and compress the spring 0.300 m. It launches the block up to a max height of 2.20 m. What is the spring constant?
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 a distance of 0.500 meters. The mass is released. When the spring is in the relaxed position, what is the Kinetic Energy (in Joules) in the mass?
quick shove and moves down the incline with an initial speed v = 0.750 m/s. The incline angle is 0 = 20.0°, the spring constant is k = 465 N/m, and we can assume the surface is frictionless. By what distance (in m) is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest? A spring is attached to an inclined plane as shown in the figure. A block of mass m = 2.59 kg is placed on the incline at a distance d = 0.282 m along the incline from the end of the spring. The block is given a ww- ing. The block
A spring has a spring stiffness constant kkk of 95.0 N/m How much must this spring be compressed to store 20.0 J of potential energy? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A 2.0 kg object is acted upon by a spring force characterized by the function F=-6x, (this means k = -6N/m). The speed of the object at x=3.0 m is 8.0 m/s. Determine the positive value for x where the speed of the object will be 4.9 m/s. Hint: The work done between values of x will be 1/2kx22-1/2kx12. Set this equal to the change in kinetic energy associated with the change in speed.

The magnitude of the force required to compress an imperfect horizontal spring a distance x is given by Fbs = kx +bx^3 where k=120N/m and b=18N/m^3. If you use a 7.5kg block to compress the spring a distance of 1.6m and then let it go, what speed will the block have when it leaves the spring? Assume the surfaces are smooth enough that any frictional forces can be neglected.
