In a pinball machine, you launch a very small ball of mass m by pulling on a handle that compresses a spring. The spring has relaxed length Lo and stiffness k. The table on which th spring and ball rest is tilted at an angle as shown in the diagram. Pulling the handle as far as it can go makes the spring compress to a length L. In this initial state, the ball is at rest. When you let go, the handle pushes the ball to launch it. k, Lo m 0 How fast is the ball moving at the moment when it just loses contact with the spring? You can assume there's no friction anywhere and this is happening on Earth.

A vertical spring of stiffness k is attached to the top of a block of mass m. At t = 0 the top end of the initially unstretched spring is started to be pulled upwards with constant velocity v, as it can be seen in the figure. When does the speed of the body become maximal first, and what is this maximal value?
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?
A crate of mass m1 slides down a well-lubricated hill of height h, with negligible friction. At the bottom, where it is moving horizontally, it collides with another crate, of mass m2, that initially was sitting at rest and that is attached to a wall by a spring of spring constant k that initially is at its equilibrium length. Assume that the spring itself has negligible mass. a)Given that the distance d that the crates compress the spring is d=0.35 m, calculate the speed v2 of the crates immediately after the collision, in units of meters per second. Use the following values:k=950 N/mm1=2.4 kgm2=2.6 kgμ=0.49g=9.8 m/s2 b)What was the speed of the crate of mass m1 just before the collision with the second block, in meters per second? c) What is the height h of the hill, in meters?

A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball straight up in the air. (Figure 1)The ball reaches a maximum height H, measured from the equilibrium position of the spring. The same ball is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far before firing. How far up does the ball go this time? Neglect friction. Assume that the spring is ideal and that the distance by which the spring is compressed is negligible compared to H.
A 1.1 N ball is shot horizontally out of a spring gun from a height of 0.9 and lands 2 m horizontally away from the gun. What is the spring constant in N/m of the spring which launched the ball if the ball compressed the spring 0.4 m?
A 1.1 g ball is shot horizontally out of a spring gun from a height of 0.9 m and lands 2 m horizontally away from the gun. What is the spring constant in N/m of the spring which launched the ball if the ball compressed the spring 0.4 m?
A spring gun shoots out a plastic ball at speed v. The spring is then compressed twice the distance it was on the first shot.

An inclined plane of angle θhas a spring of force constant k fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown. A block of mass m is placed on the plane at a distance d from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v. Calculate By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest? develop an equation for x. x when θ=30.0° , k = 1 kN/m, m = 5 kg, d = 0.5 m, and v =1 m/s. If we add another spring in series, by what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest? If we add another spring in parallel, by what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest? Part 3 & 4 are where I am struggling
