Question
A block of mass, 1.5 kg is attached and secured to an end of a spring with a spring constant of 10,000 N/cm. The other end of the spring is secured to the wall. The block is pushed against the spring, which compresses the spring to a position of x = -0.04 cm. When uncompressed, the end of the spring that is attached to the block is at a position of x = 0.00 cm. The block/spring system is then released from rest, and the block travels along a rough horizontal track for the length of the spring. At 0.00 cm the surface changes. If possible, can you help me calculate the frictional force exerted on the block from -0.04 cm to 0.00 cm? Thank you.

- The string on a bow can be described as a spring. A particular bow’s string has a spring constant of 110 N/m and is pulled back 0.6 m to launch a 0.02 kg arrow. If the bow has a mass of 1 kg, what will be the speed at which the arrow is launched?arrow_forwardA 0.28 kg mass is held against a compressed spring with a spring constant of 2,446 N/m. The mass is initially at rest upon a horizontal surface and the spring force is directed parallel to the plane of the surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.716, with what speed does the mass leave contact with the spring if the spring is initially compressed by 0.068 m?arrow_forwardA 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 0.75 kg, and the spring has a spring constant of 77 N/m. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the table on which it rests is us = 0.59. How far can the spring be stretched from its unstrained position without the box moving when it is released?arrow_forward
- A block of mass m = 5.33 kg is attached to a spring that is F(N) resting on a horizontal, frictionless table. The block is pushed 5- into the spring, compressing it by 5.00 m, and is then released 4 from rest. The spring begins to push the block back toward the equilibrium position at x = 0 m. The graph shows the component of the force (in newtons) exerted by the spring on the block versus the position of the block (in meters) relative 2- 1- x(m) to equilibrium.

- A certain spring has a length of 47.6 cm when a 4.49 kg mass is hung from it and a length of 58.6 cm when a 8.23 kg mass is hung from it.

There is friction between the track and the glider. Initially the spring (whose other end is fixed) is stretched by 0.100 m and the attached glider is moving at 0.400 m>s in the direction that causes the spring to stretch farther. The glider comes momentarily to rest when the spring is stretched by 0.112 m.
