A custom-designed spring has a restoring force F(x) = − (ax + Bx²) where x is the stretch from its equilibrium length, a = 3.4 N/m, and 3 = 4 N/m². A 4-kg gizmo is attached to this spring and stretched 1.7 m over a frictionless, horizontal surface. If the gizmo is released from rest, how fast will it be moving when it passes as its equilibrium position? V= __________ m/s

The cable of a 1800 kg elevator snaps when the elevator is at rest on the first floor. The elevator cab is d = 3.7 m above a spring of spring constant 0.15 MN/m (M = 106). A safety device clamps the cab against guide rails so that a constant frictional force of 4.4 kN (k = 1,000) opposes the cab's motion. Determine the maximum distance the spring is compressed (the friction force still acts during this compression). Use g = 9.8 N/kg.
A spring has a force constant of 18.9 N/m and a rest length of 0.35 m.The spring is stretched to a length of 1.2 m and attached to a mass of 0.45 kg. When the spring is released, what is the speed of the mass when the spring has contracted to 0.70 m long?
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.

Gravitational potential energy, PEg = mgy, can be positive or negative depending on whether an object is above or below the y = 0 reference height. J (b) If the block is now released and the surface is frictionless, calculate the block's speed (in m/s) after leaving the spring. m/s

The block in the figure lies on a horizontal frictionless surface, and the spring constant is 53.0 N/m. Initially, the spring is at its relaxed length and the block is stationary at position x = 0. Then an applied force with a constant magnitude of 6.0 N pulls the block in the positive direction of the x axis, stretching the spring until the block stops. When that stopping point is reached, what are (a) the position of the block, (b) the work that has been done on the block by the applied force, and (c) the work that has been done on the block by the spring force?
