Question
A toy gun uses a spring to project a 6.2-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gun is 12 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.039 N exists between barrel and projectile. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 5.7 cm for this launch? (Assume the projectile is in contact with the barrel for the full 12 cm.)

But eventually the spring force decreases enough so that it is le (decelerates). In a physics lab experiment, one end of a horizontal spring that obeys Hooked's law is attached to a wall. The spring is compressed æo = 0.400 m, and a block with mass 0.300 kg is attached to horizontal surface. Electronic sensors measure the speed v of the block after it has traveled a distance d from its initial position against the compressed spring. The measured The spring is then released, and the block moves along a O The spring force is always less than friction, so the block decelerates all the time. values are listed in the table below.

- 68. A block of mass 12.0 kg slides from rest down a friction- less 35.0° incline and is stopped by a strong spring with k = 3.00 x 104 N/m. The block slides 3.00 m from the point of release to the point where it comes to rest against the spring. When the block comes to rest, how far has the spring been compressed?arrow_forwardA block of mass, m 3.30 kg, slides along a frictionless surface. It starts with a velocity, vo = 8.50 m/s. It then encounters a rough surface for a distance, d 2.65 m, where there is a coefficient of kinetic friction, µk = 0.620. At the end, it hits a spring, which it compresses by a displacement, Ax = 10.5 cm, until it comes to a stop. Assume the spring itself is massless. Ax -> a) How much kinetic energy (in joules) does the block have initially? b) How much work (in joules) does the friction from the rough surface do on the block? c) After leaving the rough patch, the block slides without friction again. With what speed (in m/s) does the block hit the spring? d) What is the spring constant (in N/m)? e) When the spring pushes the block back in the opposite direction, will it be able to slide all the way to the opposite end of the rough patch?

- A 0.30-kg block slides along a small track with elevated curved ends and a flat central part. The flat part has a length L=144 m. The curved portions of the track have negligible friction, but the flat part of the track has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.186.
