A stiff spring k = 666 N/m has be attached to the floor vertically. A mass of 6.66 kg is placed on top of the spring as shown below and it finds a new equilibrium point. If the block is pressed downward and released it oscillates. If the compression is too big, however, the block will lose contact with the spring at the maximum vertical extension. Draw a free body diagram and find that extension at which the block loses contact with the spring.
How do you measure the mass of an astronaut in orbit? (You can't just use a scale!) For the 1973 - 1979 Skylab program (Skylab was a space station that predated the current International Space Station), NASA engineers designed a Body Mass Measuring Device (BMMD). This is essentially a chair of mass m mounted on a spring with a carefully measured spring constant ks = 605.6 N/m. (The other end of the spring is connected to the Skylab itself, which has a mass much larger than the astronaut or the chair, and so remains essentially fixed as the astronaut oscillates.) The period of oscillation of the empty chair is measured to be 0.90149 s. When an astronaut is sitting in the chair, the period is 2.12151 s. What is the astronaut's mass? Please describe your reasoning!
5, A bullet weighing 10 g at a speed of 300 m / s flew out of the barrel of an automatic pistol. The pistol bolt weighing 200 g is pressed against the barrel by a spring whose stiffness is k = 25 kN / m. How far will the bolt go after the shot? Assume that the gun is firmly fixed.

When released, the block slides across the frictionless surface of a shelf a height h above the floor, the then falls to the floor. a.

1. Consider the setup shown below: a block with mass m; sits on a table with friction coefficient u between the table and itself, attached on one side to a spring with stiffness k, and on the other side to a cord with negligible mass that wraps over a frictionless pully and supports a second block with mass m2 that's suspended in the air over the edge of the table. The friction between block 1 and the table is not enough to hold up block 2 so that, when it's released from rest, the spring stretches a distance Ax before the system comes to rest. a. Draw and label a free-body diagram for each block. (Use the gridlines to make sure that the relative lengths of your vector arrows are correct.) k m1 block 1: block 2: m2 b. What is the kinetic friction coefficient between block 1 and the table?

A block with mass 0.50 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.20 m (see figure below). When released, the block moves on a horizontal tabletop for 1.00 m before coming to rest. The spring constant k is 100 N/m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction, µk, between the block and the tabletop? Show the FBD of the box in your solution.
A block of mass m = 0.54 kg attached to a spring with force constant 135 N/m is free to move on a frictionless, horizontal surface as in the figure below.

A mass is hanging from a spring that is moving as v(t) = 4.8sin(5.6t). So the velocity is at 0 m/s on a periodic basis. For example, when t = 0 s, the velocity is 0 m/s. What is the ACCELERATION of the mass when the velocity at the NEXT possible time (after 0 seconds) where the velocity is 0 m/s? Report your answer to the tenth's decimal place.
The spring constant is 13 N/cm, the length of the spring is 18 cm, the relaxed length is 9 cm, and the object's mass is 6 kg. Calculate the acceleration of the wall in m/s2. (If you think that we need more information, enter -100000.) b)The spring constant is 35 N/cm, the length of the spring is 9 cm, the relaxed length is 8 cm, and the object's mass is 7 kg. This time, calculate the acceleration of the object in m/s2. (If you think that we need more information, enter -100000.)
Hang a mass from a spring. We are interested in the moment where you pull the mass down ( before you release it) to the highest point that the mass moves to. We also care about when the mass is moving its fastest. Sketch the scenario, identifying the system, the zero reference point, and initial and final points. At what point in the mass’s motion is it moving the fastest? Explain.
