figure A) A 2.0 kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.25
figure B) the object has a initial speed vi = 3m/s when it makes contact with a light spring that has a spring constant of 50 N/m.
figure c) The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed by distance d.
For this problem set, use g = 10m/s^2.
1)Find the distance of the compression d in figure C. Answer (in [m]) to 2 decimal places.
2)Find the speed v (in m/s) at the unstretched position when the object moves to the left in figure D. Answer to 2 decimal places in m/s
3) Finally, in figure E, the object comes to rest at distance D to the left of the unstretched spring. Find D. Answer to two decimal places, in [m].

The object has a speed of v₁ = 2.60 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Figure b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Figure c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Figure d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position.

- You push a 2.0 kg block against a horizontal spring, compressing the spring by 15 cm. Then you release the block, and the spring sends it sliding across a tabletop. It stops 75 cm from where you released it. The spring constant is 200 N/m. What is the block–table coefficient of kinetic friction? Draw free-body diagram.arrow_forwardee 2M Two blocks, of masses M = 4.0 kg and 2M, are connected to a spring of spring constant k = 150 N/m that has one end fixed, as shown in the Figure. The horizontal surface and the pulley are frictionless, and the pulley has negligible mass. The blocks are released from rest with the spring relaxed. What maximum distance does the hanging block fall before momentarily stopping? 1.57 m 2.29 m 1.05 m 1.96 marrow_forwardIn the figure below, a block of m= mass 19 kg is released from rest on a frictionless incline angled of angle theta= 30 degrees.
