A horizontal spring on a frictionless surface with a spring constant of 50 N/m is compressed 0.4 m away from equilibrium and it is held at rest. A 5 kg mass is attached at the end of the spring. The spring-mass system is released from rest. Calculate the kinetic energy of the mass when it is halfway back to its equilibrium position (0.2 m away).

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 2.0 kg block is pressed up against a spring (k = 44 N/m) that is attached to a wall as shown. The block is held so that there is 1.2 J stored in the spring and then the block is released from rest. If there is no friction, what is the speed of the block when the energy stored in the spring is 0.0 J?
A spring of spring constant k = 822 N/m is suspended vertically from a ceiling. You attach a 46.0 kg mass to the spring and drop it. What is the speed of the mass when it is 2/3 of the way down to the position where it will momentarily stop?
Below is a conservation of energy problem. The solution to this problem is provided. Assess whether the solution provided is correct or incorrect AND EXPLAIN WHY. = 4.6 kg block is at rest against a horizontal spring that is compressed by 0.40 m. The spring has a spring constant of k₁ 2750 N/m. After leaving the spring, it travels up a 28° incline to a height of 2.8 m. At the top of the hill is a second spring with a spring constant of k₂ = 350 N/m. The horizontal portions are frictionless, but the hill has a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to uk = 0.16. The final velocity of the block is 9.78 m/s. How much is the second spring compressed by when the block comes to a stop against it?

A 0.1 kg disk is shot across a frictionless horizontal surface by compressing it against a spring and releasing it. The spring has a spring constant of 380 N/m and is compressed from its equilibrium position by 6.2cm when the disk to a complete stop. As the disk gets released from the spring, what will be the speed (in m/s) of the disk when the spring is compressed by 3.8cm?
A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.31-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.08 cm and has a force constant of 7.95 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 14.0 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.031 2 N on the ball. (a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? m/s (b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed? cm (from its original position) (c) What is this maximum speed? m/s Need Help?

A 250 g block on a 30° ramp with μk = 0.17 is pushed against a spring. The constant of the spring is 1400 N/m and the spring is compressed 13.0 cm. After being released, the block will travel 3.4 m up the ramp (that includes the 12 cm) before shooting off the end. How fast will the block be going when it shoots off the edge of the ramp?
A 0.5 kg cart starts at rest up on a right side of the ramp as shown. The cart is allowed to roll down the ramp (h1 = 0.3 m vertically) before coming back up (h2 = 0.13 m vertically) and hitting a spring. The spring (k=200 N/m) attains a maximum compression of 0.05 m stopping the cart for a split second before being shot back to the right. From the top of the ramp to fully compressing the spring, how much thermal energy was created? he
