Use the data recorded in Table 1 to plot a graph of the Applied Force (vertical axis) vs. Distance Stretched (horizontal axis.) Plot the straight line of best fit. Use graph paper and a ruler. You also can use Excel. Note: F = mg, g = 9.8 m/s², mass must be expressed in kilograms, Distance Stretched must be expressed in meters, 1 m = 100 cm; 1 kilogram = 1000 grams 2. Determine the slope of the line in your graph by selecting two points on the line (don't select points from Table 1). This is the value of the spring constant k. Spring Constant = Include units.

A 2.0 kg object is acted upon by a spring force characterized by the function F=-6x, (this means k = -6N/m). The speed of the object at x=3.0 m is 8.0 m/s. Determine the positive value for x where the speed of the object will be 4.9 m/s. Hint: The work done between values of x will be 1/2kx22-1/2kx12. Set this equal to the change in kinetic energy associated with the change in speed.

Elevators have many safety features. In the extremely unlikely event that the multiple steel cables supporting the elevator carriage break and the emergency brakes fail to stop it, there is an oil filled piston at the bottom of the elevator shaft to cushion the landing. Model this piston as an ideal spring and assume that the 5,500 kg carriage is initially descending at 10 m/s when it contacts the spring (initially in equilibrium). The spring brings the carriage to rest over 2 m. Use conservation of energy to determine the spring constant. Assume the friction in the system is 4000 N. You need to consider the change in gravitational potential energy for this question.
