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_forwardYou place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then lay a 1.60 kg book on top of the spring and release the book from rest. Find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed.arrow_forwardThe elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35% of your energy needs when running. 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. What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathletes?arrow_forward

- 10. A block with mass 0.50 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.20 m (Fig. P43). When released, the block moves on a horizontal table top for 1.00 m before coming to rest. The spring constant k is 100 N/m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table top?
