The block in the figure below rests on a frictionless surface. Find its instantaneous acceleration when the spring on the left is compressed 4.47 cm while the spring on the right is stretched 12.1 cm. Each spring has a force constant of 1.09 103 N/m

A box slides from rest down a frictionless ramp inclined at 38.0° with respect to the horizontal and is stopped at the bottom of the ramp by a spring with a spring constant of k = 3.50 x 104 N/m. point of release 1 m compression of spring If the box has a mass of 12.0 kg and slides 3.00 m from the point of release to the point where it comes to rest against the spring, determine the compression (in m) of the spring when the box comes to rest.

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

Problem 5: A block of mass 4.2 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at the bottom that has a spring constant of 490 N/m (refer to the figure). The angle of the ramp with respect to the horizontal is 39⁰

A spring with a spring constant of 51.1 N/m is hung from the ceiling. A block is then attached to the free end of the spring. When released from rest, the block drops 0.160 m before momentarily coming to rest, after which it moves back upward. What is the mass of the block?

You attach a 2.10 kg weight to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the weight until the spring is stretched by 0.300 m and release it from rest. Assume the weight slides on a horizontal surface with negligible friction. The weight reaches a speed of zero again 0.100 s after release (for the first time after release). What is the maximum speed of the weight (in m/s)? 18.85 x Your answer is off by a factor of 2. Note that the given time is the amount of time to make one half of a period, not a full period. m/s Need Help? Read It Submit Answer

A 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?

A block of mass 1.6 kg is held against a horizontal spring so that the spring is compressed 17 cm. The block is released and it slides across the floor a distance of 3.4 m before it stops. The coefficient of friction between the block and floor is 0.185. Find the force constant of the spring.
