A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.28-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 4.90 cm and has a force constant of 8.01 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.9 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 3 N on the ball. (a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? m/s (b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed? cm (from its original position) (c) What is this maximum speed? m/s

A small spring is laying horizontal on a table and is compressed by 0.50 m. A small mass of 0.25 kg is placed in front of the compressed spring. a) When the spring is released it accelerates the box at a = 8.0m/s . What is the value of the spring constant, k for the spring? Ignore friction for part (a). b) When the small mass loses contact with the spring it moves over a part of the table where there exists a friction force between the small mass and the table. If the box comes to a stop after sliding 5.0 m, using your knowledge of work, find the coefficient of friction between the sliding mass and the table.
A block of mass 0.5 kg is initially resting against the spring, compressing the spring at a distance of 15 cm. If the spring constant is 400 N/m, what is the distance the block travels on the incline when it momentarily comes to rest? Consider the horizontal surface and the incline as frictionless surfaces. 0.5kg 30.0°
A block of mass 165 grams is placed on top of a light vertical spring, which is compressed by 7.25 cm. When the block is released from rest, it travels upward and leaves the spring to a maximum height of 14.4 m. What is the force constant of the spring?
You push a 2.00 kg block against a horizontal spring, compressing the spring by 15.0 cm. Then you release the block, and the spring sends it sliding across a frictionless tabletop for 30.0 cm. The block then moves up an 30.0°-incline plane and it moves up the incline for 65.0 cm before coming to rest. If the spring constant is 1000.0 N/m, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline plane.
During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with large catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room.Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke’s law with a spring constant of 100 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 5.00 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length?
A 6.00 ✕ 105 kg subway train is brought to a stop from a speed of 0.500 m/s in 0.400 m by a large spring bumper at the end of its track. What is the force constant k of the spring (in N/m)? (Enter a number.)
3) A commercial airplane accelerates on a runway in Newark International airport at a rate of 3.20 m/s2 for 32.8 s until it lifts off. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.
A block of mass 11.0 kg slides from rest down a frictionless 36.0° incline and is stopped by a strong spring with k = 2.30 ✕ 104 N/m. The block slides 3.00 m from the point of release to the point where it comes to rest against the spring. When the block comes to rest, how far has the spring been compressed?
A toy gun uses a spring to project a 6.2-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gun is 12 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.039 N exists between barrel and projectile. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 5.7 cm for this launch? (Assume the projectile is in contact with the barrel for the full 12 cm.)
A 4.50 ✕ 105 kg subway train is brought to a stop from a speed of 0.500 m/s in 0.900 m by a large spring bumper at the end of its track. What is the force constant k of the spring (in N/m)?
A 0.100 kg block of ice is placed against a horizontal, compressed spring mounted on a horizontal tabletop that is 1.50 m above the floor. The spring has force constant 2000 N/m and is initially compressed 0.045 m. The mass of the spring is negligible. The spring is released, and the block slides along the table, goes off the edge, and travels to the floor. If there is negligible friction between the block of ice and the tabletop, what is the speed of the block of ice when it reaches the floor?
A 5.2 × 105 kg train is brought to a halt from a speed of 0.65 m/s in 0.45 m by a large spring bumper at the edge of its track. What is the force constant k of the spring in N/m?
