An object of mass m1 = 8.40 kg is in equilibrium while connected to a light spring of constant k = 100 N/m that is fastened to a wall as shown in Figure P15.52a. A second object, m2 = 7.00 kg, is slowly pushed up against m1, compressing the spring by the amount A = 0.240 m, (see Fig. P15.52b). The system is then released and both objects start moving to the right on the frictionless surface. Figure P15.52 (a) When m1 reaches the equilibrium point, m2 loses contact with m1 (see Fig. P15.52c) and moves to the right with speed v. Determine the value of v. m/s (b) How far apart are the objects when the spring is fully stretched for the first time (D in Fig. P15.52d)? (Suggestion: First determine the period of oscillation and the amplitude of the m1-spring system after m2 loses contact with m1.) cm

An 8.00-kg block is attached to one end of a horizontal spring on a level, frictionless surface. The other end of the spring is attached to a vertical support. The spring obeys Hooke's law and has a spring constant of k =288 N/m. A physics student pulls the block outward so that the spring stretches by 50.0 cm.

Mickey, a daredevil mouse of mass 21.3 g, is attempting to become the world's first "mouse cannonball." He is loaded into a spring-powered gun pointing up at some angle and is shot into the air. The gun's spring has a force constant of 90.7 N/m and is initially compressed a distance of 14.7 cm from its relaxed position. If Mickey has a constant horizontal speed of 2.31 m/s while he is flying through the air, how high above his initial location in the gun does Mickey soar? Take g = 9.81 m/s². height above initial location:
A block of mass m = 11.54 kg on a rough horizontal surface is attached to a light spring with spring/force constant k = 2.17 kN/m with the other end fixed. The block is pulled xi = 7.66 cm to the right from the equilibrium point and released from the rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough horizontal surface is μk = 0.2. When the block passes through the equilibrium point, what is the velocity of the block vf in m/s? Keep three significant figures for the answer. g = 9.80 m/s2.
