When a 4.25-kg object is placed on top of a vertical spring, the spring compresses a distance of 2.62 cm. What is the force constant of the spring?
A weight is connected to a spring that is suspended vertically from the ceiling. If the weight is displaced downward from its equilibrium position and released, it will oscillate up and down. (a) If air resistance is neglected, will the total mechanical energy of the system (weight plus Earth plus spring) be conserved? (b) How many forms of potential energy are there for this situation?
A block of mass M rests on a table. It is fastened to the lower end of a light, vertical spring. The upper end of the spring is fastened to a block of mass m. The upper block is pushed down by an additional force 3mg, so the spring compression is 4mg/k. In this configuration, the upper block is released from rest. The spring lifts the lower block off the table. In terms of m, what is the greatest possible value for m?

You attach a block to the bottom end of a spring hanging vertically. You slowly let the block move down and find that it hangs at rest with the spring stretched by 15.0 cm. Next, you lift the block back up to the initial position and release it from rest with the spring unstretched. What maximum distance does it move down? (a) 7.5 cm (b) 15.0 cm (c) 30.0 cm (d) 60.0 cm (e) The distance cannot be determined without knowing the mass and spring constant.
A student working on a school project modeled a trampoline as a spring obeying Hookes law and measured the spring constant of a certain trampoline as 4617 N/m. If a child of mass 27.0 kg compresses the trampoline vertically by a maximum of 0.25 m, while bouncing up and down, what is the childs acceleration at the moment of maximum compression?
Why is the following situation impossible? In a new casino, a supersized pinball machine is introduced. Casino advertising boasts that a professional basketball player can lie on top of the machine and his head and feet will not hang off the edge! The hall launcher in the machine sends metal halls up one side of the machine and then into play. The spring in the launcher (Fig. P7.44) has a force constant of 1.20 N/cm. The surface on which the ball moves is inclined = 10.0 with respect to the horizontal. The spring is initially compressed its maximum distance d = 5.00 cm. A ball of mass 100 g is projected into play by releasing the plunger. Casino visitors find the play of the giant machine quite exciting. Figure P7.44
A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is attached to a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m as shown in Figure P7.15. The block is pulled to a position xi = 5.00 cm to the right of equilibrium and released from rest. Find the speed the block has as it passes through equilibrium if (a) the horizontal surface is frictionless and (b) the coefficient of friction between block and surface is k = 0.350. Figure P7.15
Starting from rest, a 64.0-kg person bungee jumps from a tethered hot-air balloon 65.0 m above the ground. The bungee cord has negligible mass and unstretched length 25.8 m. One end is tied to the basket of the balloon and the other end to a harness around the persons body. The cord is modeled as a spring that obeys Hookes law with a spring constant of 81.0 N/m, and the persons body is modeled as a particle. The hot-air balloon does not move.

(b) Express the elastic potential energy of the cord as a function of y. (c) Express the total potential energy of the personcordEarth system as a function of y. (d) Plot a graph of the gravitational, elastic, and total potential energies as functions of y. (e) Assume air resistance is negligible. Determine the minimum height of the person above the ground during his plunge. (f) Docs the potential energy graph show any equilibrium position or positions? If so, at what elevations? Are they stable or unstable? (g) Determine the jumpers maximum speed.
A 1.50-kg box rests atop a massless vertical spring with k = 4250 N/m that has been compressed by 15.0 cm from its equilibrium position. The box is released and leaves the spring when it reaches its equilibrium position. What is the maximum height the box reaches above its original position?
A bungee cord is essentially a very long rubber band that can stretch up to four times its unstretched length. However, its spring constant vanes over its stretch [see Menz, P.G. “The Physics of Bungee Jumping.” The Physics Teacher (November 1993) 31: 483-487]. Take the length of the cord to be along the direction and define the stretch as the length of the cord minus its un-stretched length that is, (see below). Suppose a particular bungee cord has a spring constant, for of and for. (Recall that the of (Recall that the spring constant is the slope of the force versus its stretch (a) What is the tension in the cord when the stretch is 16.7 m (the maximum desired for a given jump)?

Review. This problem extends the reasoning of Problem 41 in Chapter 9. Two gliders are set in motion on an air track. Glider 1 has mass m1 = 0.240 kg and moves to the right with speed 0.740 m/s. It will have a rear-end collision with glider 2, of mass m2 = 0.360 kg, which initially moves to the right with speed 0.120 m/s. A light spring of force constant 45.0 N/m is attached to the back end of glider 2 as shown in Figure P9.41. When glider 1 touches the spring, superglue instantly and permanently makes it stick to its end of the spring. (a) Find the common speed the two gliders have when the spring is at maximum compression. (b) Find the maximum spring compression distance. The motion after the gliders become attached consists of a combination of (1) the constant-velocity motion of the center of mass of the two-glider system found in part (a) and (2) simple harmonic motion of the gliders relative to the center of mass. (c) Find the energy of the center-of-mass motion. (d) Find the energy of the oscillation.
