- 4. A large block with a mass of 8.5 kg slides along a horizontal surface without friction. The block runs into a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 260 N/m and compresses the spring by 50 cm before coming to a stop. How fast is the block moving when it just hit the spring? What is the potential energy of the spring, the kinetic energy of the block, and the total mechanical energy of the system when the block is halfway to its stopping position? That is, find these quantities when the block is at 25 cm and still moving.arrow_forwardA moving 2.90 kg block collides with a horizontal spring whose spring constant is 327 N/m.The block compresses the spring a maximum distance of 12.00 cm from its rest position. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.400. What is the work done by the spring in bringing the block to rest? How much mechanical energy is being dissipated by the force of friction while the block is being brought to rest by the spring? What is the speed of the block when it hits the spring?arrow_forwardA 10.0kg cart is released from rest with no slack in the cable and with the string unstretched. The spring constant is 125 N/m. a).
