FIGURE 8.17 A toy train stretches the spring until the block slips. 5.0 cm/s 2.0 kg W

A 500-g block is released from rest and slides down a frictionless track that begins 2.28 m above the horizontal, as shown in the figure below. At the bottom of the track, where the surface is horizontal, the block strikes and sticks to a light spring with a spring constant of 34.5 N/m. Find the maximum distance the spring is compressed. m 500 g h

Initially sliding with a speed of 4.3 m/sm/s, a 2.0 kg block collides with a spring and compresses it 0.42 mm before coming to rest.What is the force constant of the spring?

A glider with mass m = 0.240 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track, connected to a spring with force constant k = 4.70 N/m . You pull on the glider, stretching the spring 0.110 m , and then release it with no initial velocity. The glider begins to move back toward its equilibrium position (x=0). What must the initial displacement of the glider be if its maximum speed in the subsequent motion is to be 2.40 m/s ?

A 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. Can you help me calculate the block's velocity once it leaves the spring? Thank you.

The 10-kg block is released with a speed of 5 m/s when the spring is unstretched. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined surface is 0.2. What is the speed of the block when it has slid 1 m down the surface? k = 200 N/m 5 m/s 30° 4.27 m/s O 3.85 m/s O 5.64 m/s O 3.38 m/s O 7.17 m/s

A horizontal spring with stiffness 0.8 N/m has a relaxed length of 16 cm (0.16 m). A mass of 22 grams (0.022 kg) is attached and you stretch the spring to a total length of 29 cm (0.29 m). The mass is then released from rest. What is the speed of the mass at the moment when the spring returns to its relaxed length of 16 cm (0.16 m)? m/s
