Question
On a frictionless horizontal table, two blocks (A of mass 2.00 kg and Bof mass 3.00 kg) are pressed together against an ideal massless spring that stores 75.0 J of elastic potential energy. The blocks are not attached to the spring and are free to move free of it once they are released from rest. The maximum speed achieved by each block is closest to:

- A spring of spring constant k = 822 N/m is suspended vertically from a ceiling. You attach a 46.0 kg mass to the spring and drop it. What is the speed of the mass when it is 2/3 of the way down to the position where it will momentarily stop?arrow_forwardYou attach your 4.58 - kg Physics for Engineers book to a horizontal spring (k = 549 N/m). You then pull the book to a distance of 6.7 cm and released it from rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between your book and the surface is 0.31, calculate the block's speed as it passes through its original position.arrow_forwardA 3.00 kg box that is sliding on frictionless surface with a speed of 15 m/s approaches a horizontal spring. The spring has a spring constant of 1900 N/m. m 10000000 How far will the spring be compressed in stopping the box? Submit Answer Tries 0/10 How far will the spring be compressed when the box's speed is reduced to half of its initial speed? Note: This is not saying that the box starts with half of the original speed, the box still starts with 15 m/s, the question asks how far the spring will have been compressed when it has slowed the box to half of that speed.

- A 1.4 kg mass slides to the right on the surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.25. The object of the speed of v(initial)=2.7 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring that has a force constant of 50 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d. The object is then forced toward the left by the spring and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest at distance D to the left of the unstretched spring. Find the distance of compression d. Find the speed v at the unstretched position when the object is moving to the left. Find the distance D where the object comes to rest.arrow_forwardI have tried this problem several times how do I do it correctly?arrow_forwardA block of mass 15.0 kg slides from rest down a frictionless 40.0° incline and is stopped by a strong spring with k = 2.90 ✕ 104 N/m.The block slides 3.00 m from the point of release to the point where it comes to rest against the spring. When the block comes to rest, how far has the spring been compressed?arrow_forward
- The block in the figure lies on a horizontal frictionless surface, and the spring constant is 42 N/m. Initially, the spring is at its relaxed length and the block is stationary at position x = 0. Then an applied force with a constant magnitude of 3.0 N pulls the block in the positive direction of the x axis, stretching the spring until the block stops. When that stopping point is reached, what are (a) the position of the block, (b) the work that has been done on the block by the applied force, and (c) the work that has been done on the block by the spring force? During the block's displacement, what are (d) the block's position when its kinetic energy is maximum and (e) the value of that maximum kinetic energy? x=0 Ę = 0 0000000 Block attached to spring (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units (d) Number Units (e) Number Units X > > >arrow_forwardA mass of 4.0 kg traveling at 5.0 m/s along a smooth, horizontal plane hits a relaxed spring.
