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?

Concept explainers

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.

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 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.
