Suppose a block of mass 0.9kg is is held against a spring with spring constant 1.0 × 103N/m, compressing it to a distance of 0.15m. What’s the fastest speed the block can have after it is released and the spring pushes it away?
In your job in a police lab, you must design an apparatus to measure the muzzle velocities of bullets fired from handguns. Your solution is to attach a 2.00 kg wood block that rests on a horizontal surface to a light horizontal spring. The other end of the spring is attached to a wall. Initially the spring is at its equilibrium length. A bullet is fired horizontally into the block and remains embedded in it. After the bullet strikes the block, the block compresses the spring a maximum distance d. You have measured that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.38. The table below lists some firearms that you will test. A grain is a unit of mass equal to 64.80 mg.

A block of mass 1.7 kg is attached to a horizontal spring that has a force constant 800 N/m as shown in the figure below. The spring is compressed 2.0 cm and is then released from rest. x x=0 (a) A constant friction force of 3.7 N retards the block's motion from the moment it is released. How much is the spring compressed when the speed of the block is a maximum. 0.463 cm (b) What is the maximum speed? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%.

The 20 kg block is sliding down an inclined plane at a 30 ° inclined friction and is stopped by a spring with a spring constant k = 2 x 10 ^ 4 N / m. The block shifted to a total distance of 4 m from the point where it was released to the point where it stopped with the resistance of the spring. How many meters is the bow compressed when the block stops? (g = 10 m / s ^ 2)

A block with a mass of 30.0 kilograms (kg) is held against a spring with a force constant of k = 1.25×105 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 17.5 centimeters (cm) from equilibrium. Then the block is released, setting it into motion. The block initially slides along a frictionless surface, but then it encounters a 1.50 meter long rough patch where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.134. It then slides down a frictionless ramp, which is tilted at an angle of 19.5 degrees and has a length of 2.50 meters. How fast is the block moving when it reaches the bottom of the ramp? Give your answer in meters per second (m/s). Hint: use WNC = ΔK + ΔU.
A spring with a spring constant of 383 N/m is initially compressed by a distance of 0.076 m from its equilibrium position. A mass of 0.038 kg is then held against the compressed spring and released from rest while upon a horizontal, frictionless surface. Assuming that the spring then pushes the mass across the surface, with speed does the mass leave the spring? Assume proper SI Units.
