- A spring with a spring constant of 369 N/m is initially compressed by a distance of 0.064 m from its equilibrium position. A mass of 0.031 kg is then held against the compressed spring and released from rest while upon a horizontal, frictionless surface. Assuming that the spring then pushes the mass across the surface, with speed does the mass leave the spring? Assume proper SI Units.arrow_forwardA 0.454-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 23.0 N/m. The block rests on a frictionless surface. A 5.90×10−2-kg wad of putty is thrown horizontally at the block, hitting it with a speed of 8.96 m/s and sticking.How far does the putty-block system compress the spring?arrow_forwardA 1.71 kg ball rolls on a frictionless horizontal surface at 5.17 m/s and collides with a stationary block of mass 1.37 kg which is attached to horizontal spring whose force constant is 1688 N/m. Right after impact, the ball bounces on the opposite direction at 1.79 m/s. To what distance will the spring be compressed? x- esss MD 24.7 cm 7.65 cm 12.0 cm 12.3 cmarrow_forward
- Mickey, a daredevil mouse of mass 0.0189 kg, is attempting to become the world's first "mouse cannonball." He is loaded into a spring-powered gun pointing up at some angle and is shot into the air. The gun's spring has a force constant of 91.9 N/m and is initially compressed a distance of 0.127 m from its relaxed position.

While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with a hammer and almost instantaneously gives it a speed of 46.0 cm/scm/s. What is the block's speed at the point where x=0.20 A?arrow_forward
- The class I'm taking is physics for scientists and engineers! I am completely stuck. Need help. I have attached the problem. Please view both attachments before answering. If you can please explain your answer so I can fully understand. Thank you!arrow_forwardOne way to measure the speed of a bullet is to fire it into a block of wood attached to a spring. The bullet hits the block and remains lodged in it. The spring is compressed after the collision. If the mass of the bullet is 8.0×10−38.0×10−3 kg, and the mass of the block is 4.0 kg, and the spring constant is 2400 N/m, then what is the initial speed of the bullet if the maximum compression of the spring is 0.087 m? Give your answer in m/s.arrow_forwardA 1.90 kg block slides on a rough horizontal surface. The block hits a spring with a speed of 2.00 m/s and compresses it a distance of 11.0 cm before coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.460, what is the force constant of the spring?arrow_forward
- 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/sarrow_forwardMickey, a daredevil mouse of mass 21.3 g, is attempting to become the world's first "mouse cannonball."
