I attach a metal block to a vertical spring and it stretches by 6 cm. If I replace the block with another one twice the mass, the spring will stretch another 3 cm, making the total stretch 9 cm. another 6 cm, making the total stretch 12 cm. another 12 cm, making the total stretch 18 cm. more than another 12 cm.

Use the data in Table P16.59 for a block of mass m = 0.250 kg and assume friction is negligible. a. Write an expression for the force FH exerted by the spring on the block. b. Sketch FH versus t.
A 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. Figure P7.15
A block of mass M rests on a table. It is fastened to the lower end of a light, vertical spring. The upper end of the spring is fastened to a block of mass m. The upper block is pushed down by an additional force 3mg, so the spring compression is 4mg/k. In this configuration, the upper block is released from rest. The spring lifts the lower block off the table. In terms of m, what is the greatest possible value for m?
A vibration sensor, used in testing a washing machine, consists of a cube of aluminum 1.50 cm on edge mounted on one end of a strip of spring steel (like a hacksaw blade) that lies in a vertical plane. The strips mass is small compared with that of the cube, but the strips length is large compared with the size of the cube. The other end of the strip is clamped to the frame of the washing machine that is not operating. A horizontal force of 1.43 N applied to the cube is required to hold it 2.75 cm away from its equilibrium position. If it is released, what is its frequency of vibration?
Some people modify cars to be much closer to the ground than when manufactured. Should they install stiffer springs? Explain your answer.

4. GO A spring lies on a horizontal table, and the left end of the spring is attached to a wall. The other end is connected to a box. The box is pulled to the right, stretching the spring. Static friction exists between the box and the table, so when the spring is stretched only by a small amount and the box is released, the box does not move. The mass of the box is 0.80 kg, and the spring has a spring constant of 59 N/m. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the table on which it rests is µ, = 0.74. How far can the spring be stretched from its unstrained position without the box moving when it is released?
Babe Ruth hits a baseball 1 meter above the ground at a 20 degree angle above the horizon. He hits almost consistently between each game. If Babe Ruth wanted the ball to stay in the air longer, what should he change? Hit the ball closer to the ground. Hit the ball with a lower force. Stand closer to the batter, keep everything else the same. Hit the ball at a larger angle above the horizon.
3. Your teacher gives you a pop-up toy that has a mass of 0.15 kg. When you push down on it, it sticks to the desk for a moment and then pops into the air. (a) If you push the toy down 2.0 cm to make it stick to the desk, and the spring constant is known to be 5000 N/m, how much EPE does the toy have at this moment? [E-S-A] (hint: displacement needs to be in meters for unit cancellation here). (b) Describe the cycle of energy conversions (choosing from EPE, GPE and KE) from the time the toy is stuck to the desk until it has jumped up to its maximum height. changes to which changes to (c) What is the maximum height the toy will be able to jump? [E-S-A round to the 0.01 m]
5.A student finds a spring that is labeled k=45 N/m. She hangs it vertically and attaches a 500 g mass to it. If the spring is originally 30 cm long, how long will it stretch when the mass is attached?
A spring lies on a horizontal table, and the left end of the spring is attached to a wall. The other end is connected to a box. The box is pulled to the right, stretching the spring. Static friction exists between the box and the table, so when the spring is stretched only by a small amount and the box is released, the box does not move. The mass of the box is 0.60 kg, and the spring has a spring constant of 80N/m. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the table on which it rests is μs = 0.58. How far can the spring be stretched from its unstrained position without the box moving when it is released?
