- . A vertical spring with spring constant 250 N/m and whose mass is negligible is loaded with a 0.050 kg ball and it is compressed by 15 cm when "cocked and loaded", then (a) what speed will it give the ball as it just leaves contact with the spring at the spring's equilibrium position and (b) to what height above the original compressed location will the ball reach when it is launched straight up into the air? Include a diagram of the situation.arrow_forwardWhen a 3 kg mass is hung on a vertical spring, it extends the spring by 2.00 m. What is the spring constant of the spring in N/m? (Assume g = 10m/s2).arrow_forwardA Huntress fires a bullet into a 3-kg wooden block resting on a smooth surface, and attached to a spring of spring constant 715. N/m. The bullet, whose mass is 7 g, remains embedded in the wooden block. She measures the maxumum distance that the block compresses the spring to be 4.50 cm. What is the speed of the bullet (in m/s)? (So the block is at equalibrium on a horizontal surface with a spriing attatched to the one side, which is then attatched to the wall. What equation am I able to use to find the speed of the bullet?)arrow_forward
- A factory worker drops a 10 kg steel block from rest (m=10). The block then falls 30 cm onto a vertical spring standing on the floor. The spring constant of the spring is 400 N/m (k=400). The block makes contact with the spring, it then continues to move downward, compressing the spring until it comes to rest. (The spring then decompresses, firing the block upward.) Determine the distance that the spring was compressed by the block.arrow_forwardA spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m = 1.50 kg straight up in the air, as shown in (Figure 1). The spring has spring constant k = 667 N/m. If the spring is compressed a distance of 25.0 centimeters from its equilibrium position y = 0 and then released, the ball reaches a maximum height hmax (measured from the equilibrium position of the spring). There is no air resistance, and the ball never touches the inside of the gun. Assume that all movement occurs in a straight line up and down along the y axis.

- A block of mass 12 kg slides down a frictionless inclined plane inclined at 35° with no initial velocity and is stopped by a spring of k= 3.0 * 10^4 N/m. The block slides a total distance of d = 3 m from the point where it was released to the point where it stops due to the resistance of the spring. How much is the spring compressed when the block stops?arrow_forwardA spring with spring constant of 100 N/m launches a 20 g ball verticallyn into the air. If the ball reaches a height of 20 m, determine the original compression distance of the spring.arrow_forwarda cannonball with a mass of 6.95 kg is placed in a vertical, spring-loaded cannon bearing a spring with a spring constant of 5.6 newtons/meter.
