Question
A vertical spring with elastic constant 95 N/m is compressed by 25 cm, and an object of mass 350 g is placed on top. When released, the spring will move upward, and the object will lose contact with the spring at its uncompressed position. What is the maximum height above the uncompressed position this object will attain?

- An 8.0-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 2.3 kg mass is hung from it, the spring stretches to a length of 16 cm. How long is the spring when a 3.0 kg mass is suspended from it? y=arrow_forwardA 1.40-kg block is pushed against a vertical wall by means of a spring (k = 810 N/m). The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.32. What is the minimum compression in the spring to prevent the block from slipping down?arrow_forwardA block of mass, 1.5 kg is attached and secured to an end of a spring with a spring constant of 10,000 N/cm. The other end of the spring is secured to the wall. The block is pushed against the spring, which compresses the spring to a position of x = -0.04 cm. When uncompressed, the end of the spring that is attached to the block is at a position of x = 0.00 cm. The block/spring system is then released from rest, and the block travels along a rough horizontal track for the length of the spring. At 0.00 cm the surface changes. If possible, can you help me calculate the frictional force exerted on the block from -0.04 cm to 0.00 cm? Thank you.arrow_forward
- A spring-loaded toy gun is aimed vertically and fired after a spherical projectile of mass m = 29.5 g is loaded by compressing the spring with force constant k = 820 N/m a distance of 8.90 cm. As the projectile travels a total distance of 56.6 cm along the barrel of the gun, it experiences a friction force of 1.50 N. What is the height reached by the projectile above its initial location with the spring compressed? ?marrow_forward5:29 PM Sun Nov 5 Tt S An ideal spring is attached to the ceiling. While the spring is held at its relaxed length, a wooden block (M 850 g) is attached to the bottom of the spring, and a ball of clay (m 210g) is pressed onto the bottom of the block so that they stick together. The block+clay are gently lowered through a distance of d 2.7 cm and are then released, at which point they hang motionlessly from the bottom of the - spring. After a few minutes have passed, the clay unsticks it- self from the block and falls from rest to the ground. What is the resulting period T of the block's oscillation after the sep- aration occurs? For the limit check, investigate what happens to T if the block+clay only need to be lowered through an extremely short distance (d → 0) before they can be released motionlessly. = ✪ 4% =arrow_forwardA spring lies on a horizontal table, and the left end of the spring is attached to a wall. The other end is connected to a box. The box is pulled to the right, stretching the spring. Static friction exists between the box and the table, so when the spring is stretched only by a small amount and the box is released, the box does not move. The mass of the box is 0.80 kg, and the spring has a spring constant of 59 N/m. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the table on which it rests is μs = 0.74. How far can the spring be stretched from its unstrained position without the box moving when it is released?arrow_forward
- A factory worker drops a 10 kg steel block from rest. The block falls 30 cm onto a vertical spring standing on the floor. The spring constant of the spring is 400 N/m. Once the block has made contact with the spring, it 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. Assume two significant digits in given data.arrow_forwardA spring-loaded toy gun is aimed vertically and fired after a spherical projectile of mass m = 28.0 g is loaded by compressing the spring with force constant k = 830 N/m a distance of 9.20 cm.

What is the height reached by the projectile above its initial location with the spring compressed?arrow_forwardA solid tungsten block of mass m is pressed against a spring of force constant k. As a result, the spring is compressed a distance x. The spring then expands and pushes the block to the right. The block, therefore, slides up the incline and eventually stops.
