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?

A block of mass 1kg compresses an ideal spring with spring constant k=10 N/m to a maximum compression of 0.1m . What was the initial speed of the block right before it touched the spring? Assume that the net force acting on the block during the compression is the spring force.
Figure (a) applies to the spring in a cork gun (Figure (b)); it shows the spring force as a function of the stretch or compression of the spring. The spring is compressed by 7.00 cm and used to propel a 3.90 g cork from the gun. (a) What is the speed of the cork if it is released as the spring passes through its relaxed position? (b) Suppose, instead, that the cork sticks to the spring and stretches it 1.70 cm before separation occurs. What now is the speed of the cork at the time of release?

At point A in the figure shown below, a spring (spring constant k = 1000 N/m) is compressed 50.0 cm by a 2.00 kg block. When released the block travels over the frictionless track until it is launched into the air at point B. The inclined part of the track makes an angle of 8=55.0" with the horizontal and point 8 is a height h= 4.50 m above the ground. What is the speed of the block at point B? equlibrium Option1 Option2 Option3 Option4 Option5 0.56 m/s 1.06 m/s 2.06 m/s 4.06 m/s 6.06 m/s

In a pinball machine, a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 31 N/m, is compressed by 4.0 cm and is used to launch a ball of mass 12 grams horizontally. Calculate the speed of the ball immediately after launch, assuming that there are no non-conservative forces acting. Give the speed in m/s to 2 significant figures. Your Answer: Answer
Two springs, each with spring constant k = 5.7 × 106 N m-¹ are used in a set of train buffers. The springs are initially at their equilibrium length, neither stretched nor compressed. A locomotive of mass m = 6.4 × 104 kg travels at a speed of v=2.0 m s¹ towards the buffers. By how much are the buffers compressed when the locomotive has been brought to rest? Give your answer by entering a number, specified to an appropriate number of significant figures, in the empty box below. (For simplicity, you should ignore any dissipation of energy in the buffers.)
