Question
A block with a mass 3.7 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at rhe bottom that has a spring constant of 540 N/m. The angle of the ramp in respect to the horizontal is 36 degrees.
1) the block starts from rest and slides down the ramp a distance of 69cm before hitting the spring. how far is the spring compressed as the block comes to momentary rest?
2) after the block comes to rest the spring pushes the block back up the ramp. how fast is the block moving right after it comes off the spring.
3) what is the change in gravitational potential energy between the original positiion of the block at the top of the ramp and the position of the block when the spring is fully compressed?

- As shown in the figure below, a box of mass m = 6.00 kg is sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface with an initial speed v; = 3.20 m/s when it encounters a spring of constant k = 2800 N/m. The box comes momentarily to rest after compressing the spring some amount x. Determine the final compression x, of the spring.arrow_forwardOne end of a spring is attached to a fixed wall while a 0.43-kg block is attached to the other movable end. The spring is stretched 0.8-m horizontally, then released from rest. Calculate its speed when it goes back to equilibrium if the spring's force constant is k = 4 N/m.

- The block of mass 0.5 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring and the spring is compressed by x. After it is released it moves along frictionless horizontal surface and reaches the point A with a speed of v A = 11.0 m/s. The block experiences an average friction force of 6.0 N while sliding up the circular track. The radius of the track R=1.0 m. Can the block pass the top point (point B) without fall off of the track? R k mWWW No. It will fall off before reaching the top. No. The block will reach the top, but it will fall off the track. Yes. The block can safely turn the track. The block can only climb the quarter of the track. Can not determine with the given information Gönder Google Formlar üzerinden asla şifre göndermeyin.

Sports scientists have studied the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters’ tendons stretch 41 mm, while nonathletes’ stretch only 33 mm. The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, 33 N/mm.
