A spring with k = 83 N/m hangs vertically next to a ruler. The end of the spring is next to the 15- cm mark on the ruler. If a 2.5-kg mass is now attached to the end of the spring, and the mass is allowed to fall, where will the end of the spring line up with the ruler marks when the mass is at its lowest position. Tip: draw a force diagram first.

You push a 43-kg file cabinet to the right on a frictionless horizontal surface with a force of 225 N from rest, the cabinet moves a distance of 7.3 m. What is the final speed of the cabinet, in m/s? 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.
5. A top WNBA player can jump about .7 meters off the ground. If her mass is 50 kg, what force must she exert against the ground? Assume she crouches a distance of .2 metes prior to jumping, and thus the upward force has this distance to act before leaving the ground. 6. A block is given an initial speed of 4 meters per second up the 0 = 22° plane shown below. Ignoring friction, %3D (a) how far up the plane will it go? (b) How much time elapses before it returns to its starting point? R 4m/s s 22°
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 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 80 g and rises to a maximum height of 50.0 cm, estimate the force constant of the spring. N/m
A segment of DNA is put in place and stretched. Figure P7.82 shows a graph of the force exerted on the DNA as a function of the displacement of the stage. Based on this graph, which statement is the best interpretation of the DNA’s behavior over this range of displacements? The DNA (a) does not follow Hooke’s law, because its force constant increases as the force on it increases; (b) follows Hooke’s law and has a force constant of about 0.1 pN/nm; (c) follows Hooke’s law and has a force constant of about 10 pN/nm; (d) does not follow Hooke’s law, because its force constant decreases as the force on it increases.
The tension in a ligament in the human knee is approximately proportional to the extension of the ligament, if the extension is not too large. If a particular ligament has an effective spring constant of 160 N/mm as it is stretched, what is the tension in this ligament when it is stretched by 0.760 cm? What is the maximum compression of the spring? The spring sends the block back to the left. How high does the block rise?
A spring with a spring constant of 51.1 N/m is hung from the ceiling. A block is then attached to the free end of the spring. When released from rest, the block drops 0.160 m before momentarily coming to rest, after which it moves back upward. What is the mass of the block?
