A spring-mass system has a spring with spring constant k=65.0 N/m and a 800.0 gram mass on the end of the spring. The surface supporting the mass is frictionless and there is negligible air resistance. When the system is fırst observed (at time t = 0), the spring is stretched 6.10 cm from its natural length and the velocity of the mass is 4.10 m/s in the +x direction. 1. What is the displacement function x(t) for this motion? 2. If the spring-mass system was placed in a chamber where the air resistance has a drag constant of b = 0.12, what is the frequency of the new system, in rad/s? Round to the nearest hundredth (0.01). Justify your answer using your rationale and equations used.

A bowling ball is attached to a 3.87-meter long cable and hung from the ceiling. The cable is kept taut and the ball is raised to an initial height of 1.61 meters above the classroom floor. It is released from rest and allowed to swing as a pendulum. Determine its speed (in m/s) when it is at a height of 1.12 meters above the floor. (Use g=10 m/s/s) Answer: _________ m/s (round to the nearest hundredth)
A 0.230 kg potato is tied to a string with length 1.70 m, and the other end of the string is tied to a rigid support. The potato is held straight out horizontally from the point of support, with the string pulled taut, and is then released. 1) What is the speed of the potato at the lowest point of its motion? 2) What is the tension in the string at this point?
A massive space freighter wants to accelerate at 1g. It takes time for the rocket engines to rev up, and turn up to their desired power. The freighter starts from rest, and its acceleration (until it reaches 1g) is: 3 2t 1 T 2t 3 T a(t) = – Ag - The captain wants to reach 1g at time t = T. What must A be, to satisfy a(T) = 1g? 2)
A block with mass m = 12.4 kg is pressed against a spring with spring constant 1.285E+4 N/m, compressing the spring a distance of 0.115 m. It is then released from rest, moves across a frictionless horizontal surface, down a frictionless hill (vertical height h = 9.29 m), and onto a horizontal surface with friction μk = 0.638. How far (in m) will the block slide across the horizontal frictional surface before coming to rest?

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.

It is released from rest and allowed to swing as a pendulum. Determine its speed (in m/s) when it is at a height of 1.19 meters above the floor. Answer: m/s (round to the nearest hundredth)
A 17.0 g marble is fired vertically upward using a spring gun. The spring must be compressed 16.0 cm, if the marble is to just reach a target 15 m above the marble's position on the compressed spring. What is the spring constant of the spring? (Your result must be in multiplies of N/m and without decimals. Maximum of 1% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g-9.8 m/s 2.)
A pendulum consists of a small object hanging from the ceiling at the end of a string of negligible mass. The string has a length of 0.75 m. With the string hanging vertically, the object is given an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s parallel to the ground and swings upward on a circular arc. Eventually, the object comes to a momentary halt at a point where the string makes an angle θ with its initial vertical orientation and then swings back downward. Find the angle θ.
A particular spring has a rest length of 5.0 cm when it is not compressed, and a length of 4.5 cm when a mass of 10kg is placed on top of it. How long is the spring with the 10kg mass on top when it is taken into an elevator accelerating upwards at 1.0 m/s2 ?
Consider the following system: A spring has stiffness 598 N/m and is initially uncompressed. It is oriented vertically and placed on hard surface.
