- Problems 10 and 11: A nonlinear spring has a spring force function of: F =-2x* (x+2) (N) 10. What is the spring potential energy function? Answer 10: 11. The spring is positioned horizontally along a frictionless surface. A 2 kg mass is pushed against the spring. By what amount should the spring be compressed so that when the mass is released, the max velocity of the mass is 5 m/s? Answer 11:arrow_forwardThe diagram shows a horizontal spring attached to a block. The block’s equilibrium position is at C, and the block oscillates between the points A and E with no friction from the floor. As the block moves from C to E, which of the following statements is true? Usp is the spring potential energy of the spring and K is the kinetic energy of the block. Usp decreases, K decreases Usp stays the same, K stays the same Usp decreases, K increases Usp increases, K decreases Usp increases, K increasesarrow_forwardA 25.0-kg block is released from rest at point A. The track is frictionless except for the portion between points B and C, which has a length of 10.00 m. The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2000 N/m, and compresses the spring 0.50 m from its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface between points B and C.arrow_forward
