A spring (k = 600 N/m) is placed in a vertical position with its lower end supported by a horizontal surface (see Figure). The upper end is depressed 20 cm, and a 0.5-kg block is placed on the depressed spring. The system is then released from rest. How far above the point of release will the block rise?

A child's toy consists of a piece of plastic attached to a spring in the figure below. The spring is compressed against the floor a distance of 2.00 cm, and the toy is released. If the toy has a mass of 115 g and rises to a maximum height of 80.0 cm, estimate the force constant of the spring. N/m
A 3.00 kg box that is sliding on frictionless surface with a speed of 15 m/s approaches a horizontal spring. The spring has a spring constant of 1900 N/m. m 10000000 How far will the spring be compressed in stopping the box? Submit Answer Tries 0/10 How far will the spring be compressed when the box's speed is reduced to half of its initial speed? Note: This is not saying that the box starts with half of the original speed, the box still starts with 15 m/s, the question asks how far the spring will have been compressed when it has slowed the box to half of that speed.

A spring with spring constant 20 N/m is compressed a distance of 5.5 cm by a ball with a mass of 208.5 g (see figure below). The ball is then released and rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface, leaving the spring at point A. The process is repeated, using a block instead, with a mass identical to that of the ball. The block compresses the spring by 5.5 cm and is also released, leaving the spring at point A. Each object travels up the incline shown in the figure before coming to rest momentarily. Assume the ball rolls, but ignore other effects of friction. (Assume the ball rolls without slipping up the incline until it comes to rest.) (a) How high above the starting position is the ball when it comes to rest momentarily? m (b) How high above the starting position is the block when it comes to rest momentarily? m
A mass and a spring A 3.4 kg block slides 3.3 m across a frictionless, horizontal table at 2.2 m/s, moving left. Once the block hits the spring, it sticks, compressing the spring 70 cm before the block stops and reverses direction. The block then continues to bounce back and forth, still attached to the spring. The spring constant is 33.6 N/m. Ignore air resistance. 2.2 m/s 3.3 m 70 cm 1. Plot the position of the block as a function of time, with t = 0 when the block first hits the spring. Include the location at negative time values back to when the block was 3.3 m away from the spring. Clearly define your coordinate system. Plot two full oscillations of the spring. Use a graph. 2. What equation describes this position graph? Be sure to include units! Use a piecewise equation. .....
A cart of mass 0.350 kg is attached to the end of a spring, with force constant 55.0 N/m, on a friction less track.

k AX A 0.40 kg block is pushed against a spring (k = 7.0 N/m) thereby compressing it by 25.0 cm, as shown in the figure above. After it is released the block travels a total distance of 23.3 cm before coming to rest. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction for the horizontal surface?
A block attached to a horizontal spring that has a spring constant of 20 N/m oscillates between x = - 0.63 m and x = 0.63 m on a frictionless surface as shown. What is the kinetic energy of the block when its position is at x = 0, in Joules? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
A block with a mass 3.7 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at rhe bottom that has a spring constant of 540 N/m. The angle of the ramp in respect to the horizontal is 36 degrees. 1) the block starts from rest and slides down the ramp a distance of 69cm before hitting the spring. how far is the spring compressed as the block comes to momentary rest? 2) after the block comes to rest the spring pushes the block back up the ramp. how fast is the block moving right after it comes off the spring. 3) what is the change in gravitational potential energy between the original positiion of the block at the top of the ramp and the position of the block when the spring is fully compressed?
A spring with constant 56 N/m is positioned so that is sits right below an object of mass 5.0 kg. The object starts at a height of 2.9 m above the spring and is released from rest. The object falls directly on top of the spring, compresses it and eventually comes to rest. What is the compression of the spring in meters at the bottom of the motion when the object comes to rest? (Use g = 9.8m/s2 and round answer to 1 decimal place.)

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
