A child's pogo stick (figure below) stores energy in a spring (k = 2.30 x 104 N/m). At position (x₁ = -0.100 m), the spring compression is a maximum and the child is momentarily at rest. At position B (x = 0), the spring is relaxed and the child is moving upward. At position Ⓒ, the child is again momentarily at rest at the top of the jump. Assume that the combined mass of child and pogo stick is 28.0 kg.

Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

An object is sliding down a ramp at a speed of V. At the bottom of the ramp is a spring with spring constant K. If the speed of the object doubles, what will happen to the compression of the spring at the bottom?
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 reality television show "Amazing Race," a contestant is firing 12 kg watermelons from a slingshot to hit targets down the field. The slingshot is stretched from its equilibrium length by a distance of 1.8 m, and the watermelon is at ground level, 0.3 m below the launch point. The targets are at ground level 14 m horizontally away from the launch point. Calculate the spring constant of the slingshot (in N/m). (Assume the angle that the watermelon's velocity makes with the horizontal at the launch point is the same as the angle the slingshot makes with the horizontal when pulled back. Also assume the equilibrium length of the slingshot is negligible.)
