A pen contains a spring with a spring constant of 240 N/m. When the tip of the pen is in its retracted position, the spring is compressed 5.00 mm from its unstrained length. In order to push the tip out and lock it into its writing position, the spring must be compressed an additional 6.60 mm. How much work is done by the spring force to ready the pen for writing? Be sure to include the proper algebraic sign with your answer.

You push a 2.00 kg block against a horizontal spring, compressing the spring by 15.0 cm. Then you release the block, and the spring sends it sliding across a frictionless tabletop for 30.0 cm. The block then moves up an 30.0°-incline plane and it moves up the incline for 65.0 cm before coming to rest. If the spring constant is 1000.0 N/m, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline plane.

An object with mass 0.30 kg falls from rest onto a spring of stiffness 25,000 N/m.

A large toy car is pushed horizontally by a spring, and the spring has a spring constant of 135 N/m. What is the mass of the toy car if compressing the spring 0.055 m (before the toy starts moving) causes it to reach a speed of 0.75 mis? (Note - the height of the toy does not change.) Solve the problem. (If you get the answer wrong, you can get 0.5 points for correct units.)
