In a car’s suspension system, each wheel is connected to a vertical spring; these springs absorb shocks when the car travels on bumpy roads. In one car, each spring has a spring constant of 5.0 x 104 N/m. If this 1400 kg car is driven at 25 m/s through the bottom of a circular dip in the road that has a radius of 600 m, by how much do these springs compress compared to when the car is driven on a flat road?

Suppose a block of mass 0.9kg is is held against a spring with spring constant 1.0 × 103N/m, compressing it to a distance of 0.15m. What’s the fastest speed the block can have after it is released and the spring pushes it away?
A 5 kg block is placed near the top of a frictionless ramp, which makes an angle of 30o degrees to the horizontal. A distance d = 1.3 m away from the block is an unstretched spring with k = 3 × 103 N/m. The block slides down the ramp and compresses the spring. Find the maximum compression of the spring.
A child's toy consists of a piece of plastic attached to a spring (as shown in Figure). The spring is compressed against the floor by 2.00 cm, and the toy is released.

An ideal spring with k = 8 N/m is initially compressed 0.40 m. One end is attached to a wall and the other is attached to a 1.0 kg block. The block is released from rest and slides 0.20 m on the horizontal surface before coming to rest (the spring is still compressed by 0.20 m at this time). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface is Fung Answer: 0.163 X X=0
An ideal spring is attached to the ceiling. While the spring is held at its relaxed length, a wooden block (M = 850 g) is attached to the bottom of the spring, and a ball of clay (m = 210 g) is pressed onto the bottom of the block so that they stick together. The block+clay are gently lowered through a distance of d = 2.7 cm and are then released, at which point they hang motionlessly from the bottom of the spring. After a few minutes have passed, the clay unsticks itself from the block and falls from rest to the ground. 1. What is the resulting period T of the block’s oscillation after the separation occurs? 2. As d approaches 0, what limit does T approach?
