A 2kg brick falls at 4.2 m/s from a height of 5m above a spring that has a spring constant of 43 N/m. The brick strikes and compresses the spring until it stops moving. Ignore friction effects. How much is the spring compressed by the brick? Assume that there is no Eg after the brick comes into contact with the spring
A dart gun has a spring of spring constant k = 13 N/m which is used to shoot a dart of mass m. The dart leaves the gun at a speed of v = 3.7 m/s after the spring is compressed 1 cm. What is the weight, Fg in Newtons, of the dart? What is the dart’s speed when it hits the floor vf, in m/s, if it is fired horizontally at a height of h = 2 meters? What angle, θ in degrees, does the dart's final velocity make with the horizontal?
A Ballistic Spring is like a Ballistic Pendulum, but it uses elastic potential energy instead of gravitational potential energy to measure the incident velocity of a projectile. Questions 4 and 5 refer to the Ballistic Spring shown below, where a projectile of mass m travelling with an initial velocity v impacts and travels through a block with mass M, emerging with a velocity , and causing the spring with constant k that is attached to the block to be compressed a distance d. m Vo Before M wwwww M Wowwwww After
As given in the figure below, a 4 kg block is accelerated from rest by a compressed spring of spring constant 320 N/m. The block leaves the spring at the spring's relaxed length and then travels over a horizontal floor with a coefficient of kinetic friction uk=0.25. The frictional force stops the block in distance D=5 m. Find the original compression distance of the spring
A 3.0 kg block slides with a speed of 2.3 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface until it encounters a spring. If the block compresses the spring 5.6 cm before coming to rest, what is the force constant of the spring? What initial speed should the block have to compress the spring by 1.4 cm?
Physics Problem: A 2.5-kg block moving at 2. 0 m/s collides with a spring whose spring constant is390 N/m, as shown in the figure.

A car’s bumper is designed to withstand a 21.34 m/s collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force (in unit of N) on a bumper that collapses 0.22 m while bringing a 1,751-kg car to rest from an initial speed of 21.34 m/s. Your answer could be a large number between several thousands to hundreds of thousands. Just put in the raw number, for example, 123456.7
