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 high jumper, falling at 4.0 m/s, lands on a foam pit and comes to rest, compressing the pit 0.40 m. If thepit is able to exert an average force of 1200 N on the high jumper in breaking the fall, what is the jumper'smass? (60 kg)
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 2.0 kg block is placed against a spring on a frictionless 30 degrees incline (from the horizontal). The spring, whose spring constant is 1960 N/m, is compressed 20 cm and then released. How far along the incline does it send the block? (Ans.= 4m)
A block of mass m = 5.78 kg is attached to a spring that is F(N) resting on a horizontal, frictionless table. The block is pushed into the spring, compressing it by 5.00 m, and is then 5- 4. released from rest. The spring begins to push the block back 3. toward the equilibrium position at x = 0 m. The graph 2. shows the component of the force (in newtons) exerted by the spring on the block versus the position of the block (in meters) relative to equilibrium.

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?
