As shown in the figure below, a box of massm = 6.40 kg is sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface with an initial speed v, = 3.50 m/s when it encounters a spring of constant k = 2600 N/m. The box comes momentarily to rest after compressing the spring some amount x. Determine the final compression x (in m) of the spring.

A 2.0 kg block is placed against a spring on a frictionless 30 degrees incline (from the horizontal). The spring, whose spring constant is 1960 N/m, is compressed 20 cm and then released. How far along the incline does it send the block? (Ans.= 4m)
A factory worker drops a 10 kg steel block from rest (m=10). The block then falls 30 cm onto a vertical spring standing on the floor. The spring constant of the spring is 400 N/m (k=400). The block makes contact with the spring, it then continues to move downward, compressing the spring until it comes to rest. (The spring then decompresses, firing the block upward.) Determine the distance that the spring was compressed by the block.

k AX A 0.40 kg block is pushed against a spring (k = 7.0 N/m) thereby compressing it by 25.0 cm, as shown in the figure above. After it is released the block travels a total distance of 23.3 cm before coming to rest. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction for the horizontal surface?
As given in the figure below, a 4 kg block is accelerated from rest by a compressed spring of spring constant 320 N/m.

Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as in the figure below. The helper spring engages when the main leaf spring is compressed by distance Yo' then helps to support any additional load. Consider a leaf spring constant of 5.35 × 105 N/m, helper spring constant of 3.60 × 105 N/m, and y₁ = 0.500 m. Truck body Yo Axle (a) What is the compression of the leaf spring for a load of 4.10 × 105 N? 0.69 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation.

A block with mass 300 g is held at rest against a spring with spring con- stant 200 N/m that has been compressed 3 cm from its equilibrium length. The block is released and allowed to slide on a table, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the Problem 1 table is 0.3. The block slides a short distance on the table and then comes to rest. Assume the block loses contact with the spring when the spring is at its equilibrium length, and that the friction force only acts after the block has lost contact with the spring. (a) How much work does the spring force do on the block? (b) How much work does the kinetic friction force do on the block? (c) After leaving the spring, what distance does the block slide before coming to rest? (d) What speed did the block have after sliding 5 cm from the point it lost contact with the spring?

A cart of mass 0.72 kg is attached to one end of of a spring and placed on a low-friction track, inclined at an angle of 56.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The cart is found to be in equilibrium when the spring is stretched to a total length of 44.8 cm. Given that the rest length for the spring is 12.8 cm, what is the spring constant for the spring?
