A 6.00 ✕ 105 kg subway train is brought to a stop from a speed of 0.500 m/s in 0.400 m by a large spring bumper at the end of its track. What is the force constant k of the spring (in N/m)? (Enter a number.)
4. Suppose a block of mass m slides over a surface with kinetic friction coef- ficient towards a spring with spring constant k. The block reaches the spring with spring with speed vo. (a) How far is the spring compressed at maximum compression? Give your answer in terms of m, k, lk, and vo. (b) What is an expression for the maximum value that v。 could be in order for the spring to remain maximally compressed, no matter what material the block and surface are? Give your answer in terms of m, k, pk. Hint: the coefficient of static friction is always greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
Consider a Hot Wheels™ car with a mass of 121 g, that is pushed by a student along a track so that it is moving at 5 m/s. It hits a spring (k = 92.5 N/m) at the end of the track, causing it to compress. How far did the spring compress to bring the car to a stop? Calculate the answer in cm and make sure to include the unit. Report your final answer with three significant figures.

A block of mass 2.9 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at the bottom that has a spring constant of 470 N/m (refer to the figure). The angle of the ramp with respect to the horizontal is 13°. a) The block, starting from rest, slides down the ramp a distance 54 cm before hitting the spring. How far, in centimeters, is the spring compressed as the block comes to momentary rest? b) After the block comes to rest, the spring pushes the block back up the ramp. How fast, in meters per second, is the block moving right after it comes off the spring? c) What is the change of the gravitational potential energy, in joules, between the original position of the block at the top of the ramp and the position of the block when the spring is fully compressed?
