A massless spring of spring constant k = 4307 N/m is connected to a mass m = 105 kg at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface.Part (a) The mass is displaced from equilibrium by A = 0.81 m along the spring's axis. How much potential energy, in joules, is stored in thespring as a result?Part (b) When the mass is released from rest at the displacement A= 0.81 m, how much time, in seconds, is required for it to reach its maximumkinetic energy for the first time?Part (c) The typical amount of energy released when burning one barrel of crude oil is called the barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) and is equal to 1|BOE = 6.1178362 GJ. Calculate the number, N, of springs with spring constant k = 4307 N/m displaced to A = 0.81 m you would need to store 1 BOE ofpotential energy.Part (d) Imagine that the N springs from part (c) are released from rest simultaneously. If the potential energy stored in the springs is fullyconverted to kinetic energy and thereby "released" when the attached masses pass through equilibrium, what would be the average rate at which the energy isreleased? That is, what would be the average power, in watts, released by the Nspring system?Part (e) Though not a practical system for energy storage, how many buildings, B, each using 10³ W, could the spring system temporarily power?

Dear student, as per bartleby's guidelines I solve 1st 3 parts of the problems. So please re-upload…

A 2 kg block is on top of a 10 m high table and loaded onto a spring (with spring constant k = 50 N/m) compressed 10 cm from the equilibrium and then released. The block travels on the frictionless table and lands on the ground. What is the total work done by all forces acting on the block from the initial position at the spring to the final position just before the block lands on the ground?
A spring is connected on one end to a wall and the other is free to be compressed. The spring constant is 25 N/cm for the spring.

A spring has a natural length of 0.2350 m and a spring constant of 584 N/m. At what TWO lengths would the spring have a potential energy of 21.4 J? Are both of these lengths feasible?
When a chip jumps, the energy comes from the muscles, but also from an elastic protein which is subjected to a compression similar to that of a spring. If a chip, with a mass of 2.0 × 10-7 kg, jumps vertically from a height of 65 mm, and 75% of the energy comes from the elastic protein, determine the initial amount of this energy.
A 0.40-kg mass attached to a spring is pulled back horizontally across a table so that the potential energy of the system is increased from zero to 155 J. Ignoring friction, what is the kinetic energy of the system after the mass is released and has moved to a point where the potential energy has decreased to 70 J?
