A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.30-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.00 cm and has a force constant of 8.00 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.0cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.0320N on the ball. (a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? (b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed? (c) What is this maximum speed? (Choose the three best answers, one for each sub question)

Chapter 15, Problem 025 GO In the figure, a block weighing 16.1 N, which can slide without friction on an incline at angle e = 50.0°, is connected to the top of the incline by a massless spring of unstretched length 0.550 m and spring constant 140 N/m. The block is initially at its equilibrium position. (a) How far from the top of the incline is the block's equilibrium point? (b) If the block is pulled slightly down the incline and released, what is the period of the resulting oscillations?

68. A block of mass 12.0 kg slides from rest down a friction- less 35.0° incline and is stopped by a strong spring with k = 3.00 x 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 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 slingshot, which can be modeled as a spring with spring constant k = 56.4 N/m, is stretched by 16 cm with respect to its equilibrium position and used to shoot a rock with mass 0.15 kg straight up into the air. Find the speed of the rock (in m/s) when it reaches a height which is 75% of its maximum height (relative to the position at which it was shot from). Use g = 9.81 m/s2. Hint: First find the maximum height, and then find the speed when the height is 75% of that
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.)
The problem uses the ideal spring force, in one dimension. F = -kx, where x is the deviation from equilibrium, and k is the spring constant. Calculate the particle's maximum speed (vmax), with these numbers: k = 2000 N/m = 2000 kg/s2 m = 5 kg (the mass of the particle) x0 = 0.2 m (the initial position) v0 = 5 m/s (the initial velocity) The all-too-common erroneous solution: v max = A ω = x 0 k / m = 0.2 m ⋅ 20 / s = 4 m/s . Your problem: You may not understand this problem fully, and may not be able to solve it. Nevertheless, spot the egregious wrongness of the answer.
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 spring gun has a spring constant of 50 N/m and is compressed by 5 cm. It is used to launch a ball of mass 100 g. What is the speed of the ball when it leaves the gun? The same spring gun is used to shoot the ball vertically upward. What is the maximum height reached by the ball?
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?
