A block of mass m = 0.04 kg slides across a frictionless horizontal surface with an initial speed of v = 2.9 m/ s. It stops when it collides and compresses a spring that is attached to a wall. How much will the spring compress if the force constant k is 145 N / m?

A block of mass 3.1 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at the bottom that has a spring constant of 490 N/m (refer to the figure). The angle of the ramp with respect to the horizontal is 29°. The block, starting from rest, slides down the ramp a distance 79 cm before hitting the spring. How far, in centimeters, is the spring compressed as the block comes to momentary rest?
A 5,000-kg freight car rolls along rails with negligible friction. The car is brought to rest by a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in the figure below. Both springs are described by Hooke's law and have spring constants k1 = 1,700 N/m and k2 = 3,200 N/m. After the first spring compresses a distance of x1 = 31.8 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force as additional compression occurs as shown in the graph. The car comes to rest x2 = 46.5 cm after first contacting the two-spring system. Find the car's initial speed.

A 500 g particle has velocity vx = -8.0 m/s at t =-2 s. Force Fx=(4−t^2)N, where t is in s, is exerted on the particle between t=−2s and t = 2 s. This force increases from 0 N at t = -2 s to 4 N at t = 0 s and then back to 0 N at t = 2 s. What is the particle's velocity at t=2 s?
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the "spring" is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?

A dart gun contains a spring of spring constant k = 17 N/m which is used to fire a dart of mass m. The dart leaves the gun at a speed of v = 3.5 m/s after the spring is compressed 1 cm. What angle, θ in degrees, does the dart's final velocity make with the horizontal?
The spring in the muzzle of a child’s spring gun has a spring constant of 700 N/m.To shoot a ball from the gun, first the spring is compressed and then the ball is placed on it.The gun’s trigger then releases the spring, which pushes the ball through the muzzle. The ball leaves the spring just as it leaves the outer end of the muzzle. When the gun is inclined upward by 30 to the horizontal, a 57 g ball is shot to a maximum height of 1.83 m above the gun’s muzzle. Assume air drag on the ball is negligible. (a) At what speed does the spring launch the ball? (b) Assuming that friction on the ball within the gun can be neglected, find the spring’s initial compression distance.
