At point A in the figure shown below, a spring (spring constant k = 1000 N/m) is compressed 50.0 cm by a 2.00 kg block. When released the block travels over the frictionless track until it is launched into the air at point B.

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?
A block of mass 2.80 kg is placed against a horizontal spring of constant k = 745 N/m and pushed so the spring compresses by 0.0550 m. HINT (a) What is the elastic potential energy of the block-spring system (in J)? When a spring is compressed or stretched, the spring potential energy, PEs = 1 2 kx2, is always positive. Gravitational potential energy, PEg = mgy, can be positive or negative depending on whether an object is above or below the y = 0 reference height. J (b) If the block is now released and the surface is frictionless, calculate the block's speed (in m/s) after leaving the spring. m/s
As shown in the figure, a 0.490kg object is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x. The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the object travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point A, the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The speed of the object at the bottom of the track is va = 12.8 m/s and the object experiences an average frictional force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. (a) What is x? (b) If the object were to reach the top of the track, what would be it’s speed at that point? (c) Does the object actually reach the top of the track, or does it fall off before reaching the top?

A rubber ball, with a mass of 40.0 grams is dropped from rest from a height of 1.20 m above the floor. It hits the floor, and then reaches a maximum height of 80.0 cm when it comes back up again. In this problem, use g = 10.0 m/s2. (a) The collision with the floor causes some mechanical energy to be lost (this energy generally ends up as thermal energy). How much mechanical energy is lost in this case? (b) What is the ball's speed, just as it leaves the floor on its way up? m/s (c) What is the magnitude of the impulse experienced by the ball for the entire time it is in contact with the floor? kg • m/s
A block with mass m = 12 kg rests on a frictionless table and is accelerated by a spring with spring constant k = 4599 N/m after being compressed a distance x1 = 0.45 m from the spring’s unstretched length. The floor is frictionless except for a rough patch a distance d = 2.7 m long. For this rough path, the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.41. 1) How much work is done by friction as the block crosses the rough spot? 2) Instead, the spring is only compressed a distance x2 = 0.117 m before being released. How far into the rough path does the block slide before coming to rest? 3) What distance does the spring need to be compressed so that the block will just barely make it past the rough patch when released?
