A spring that has a force constant of 1050 N/m is mounted vertically on the ground. A block of mass 1.00 kg is dropped from rest from height of 1.65 m above the free end of the spring. By what distance does the spring compress?

m A shown in the picture, a 238 g mass slides down a curved incline then collides with a spring. The spring constant of the spring is 106 N/m. Assume that friction is negligble in these problems. (A) If the mass starts from rest at a height of 1.97 cm, what is the final compression of the spring when the mass comes to rest? Assume the spring is initially uncompressed. 2.95 cm (B) If the mass initially compresses the spring 1.14 cm, what is the maximum height the mass rises to on the incline? Assume the mass is released from rest. (C) If the mass is released from rest at a height of 1.97 cm, what is the compression of the spring when the mass has a speed of 45.4 cm/s?

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.

A vertical ideal spring, spring constant k, is compressed a distance A. A mass m is placed on top of the spring and then released. a) How high will the mass go? Н y=0 y=0 Answer: b) If instead the force exerted by the spring is given by F= -(ky+b), how high will the mass go?
