- You attach a 2.10 kg weight to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the weight until the spring is stretched by 0.300 m and release it from rest. Assume the weight slides on a horizontal surface with negligible friction. The weight reaches a speed of zero again 0.100 s after release (for the first time after release). What is the maximum speed of the weight (in m/s)? m/s Need Help?

What is the spring constant for this spring in N/m?arrow_forwardTruck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as shown in the figure below. When the main leaf spring is compressed by distance yo, the helper spring engages and then helps to support any additional load. Suppose the leaf spring constant is 4.80 x 10° N/m, the helper spring constant is 3.80 x 10° N/m, and Y. = 0.500 m.

If the spring constant is 200 N/m, how fast will the mass be moving when it reaches the equilibrium position? Hint: You cannot ignore the change in gravitational potential energy in this problem. Please give your answer in units of m/s, however, do not explicitly include units when typing your answer into the answer box. Including actual units will result in your answer being incorrectly scored.arrow_forward
