A 65 kg student is standing atop a spring in an elevator that is accelerating upward at 2.8 m/s2. The spring constant is 2600 N/m.
By how much is the spring compressed?
Δy=
A 3 kg block is fastened to a vertical string that has a spring constant of 800 N/m. A 1.2 kg block rests on top of the 3 kg block. When the blocks are at rest, how much is the spring compressed from its uncompressed length?
A block of mass 4.9 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at the bottom that has a spring constant of 410 N/m (refer to the figure). The angle of the ramp with respect to the horizontal is 19°
1. The block, starting from rest, slides down the ramp a distance 32 cm before hitting the spring. How far, in centimeters, is the spring compressed as the block comes to momentary rest?
2. After the block comes to rest, the spring pushes the block back up the ramp. How fast, in meters per second, is the block moving right after it comes off the spring?
3. What is the change of the gravitational potential energy, in joules, between the original position of the block at the top of the ramp and the position of the block when the spring is fully compressed?

- An inclined plane of angle = 20.0 has a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in Figure P6.61. A block of mass m = 2.50 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?arrow_forwardA 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.

- Your doctor has told you to watch your weight. Of course, your weight comprises two factors, so you assume that she wants you to watch both your mass and the local value of g. Which explains why you are carrying a small mass mm on an elastic band wherever you go. Most of the time, the elastic band is stretched by a distance of 2.1 cm. However, when you have finished lunch, you go into a very tall building and take the high speed lift (or elevator depending on where you live). Soon after the doors close, you notice that the band (which has linear elastic properties) is stretched by a total distance of 3.5 cm. a) At what rate is the lift accelerating? _____ m.s−2 b) Your doctor will want to know the factor by which your weight has increased after that lunch. Suppose that you stand on scales in the lift while it is accelerating as described above. According to the scales, your weight has increased by a factor of _____ My answers are a)6.6 and b)1.67 but they're wrong.arrow_forwardWhen a 300-g mass is hung from the end of a vertical spring, the spring’s length is 40 cm.
