The Great Sandini is a 60 kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). You don’t find many men of his caliber, so you help him design a new gun. This new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1100 N/m that he will compress with a force of 4400 N. The inside of the gun barrel is coated with Teflon, so the average friction force will be only 40 N during the 4.0 m he moves in the barrel. At what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.5 m above his initial rest position?

You are asked to design spring bumpers for the walls of a parking garage. A freely rolling 1300 kgkg car moving at 0.66 m/sm/s is to compress the spring no more than 7.6×10−2 mm before stopping. 1. What should be the force constant of the spring? Assume that the spring has negligible mass. Express your answer using two significant figures.
A block of mass 4.70 kg is leaning against a spring of spring constant 5.43⋅102 N/m (see figure). At point A the spring is compressed by 22.6 cm. In section AB, of length 1.12 m, there is no friction between the block and the horizontal surface. In stretch BC, with a length of 1.51 m, there is friction. The system is released from rest from point A. When the spring reaches its natural length (zero compression), the block detaches from it and continues to move to the right. Use g=10.0 m/s2. What is the speed of the block at point B?

I have finally gotten Carmen, my 3.2 kg pet monkey, off to sleep in her monkey-bouncer.The monkey bouncer is a 1.1 kg basket attached to the end of a vertical spring that has a k of 835 kg/s2. I know that my friend Puck is planning to sneak up and quickly pull down 15 cm on Carmen’s basket and let it go, so I want to install a shock absorber that will damp out Puck’s disturbance as quickly as possible. What value of b should I use for my shock absorber? How long will it take for Carmen’s displacement to decrease by a factor of 1/e2?
A child's toy consists of a piece of plastic attached to a spring (as shown in Figure). The spring is compressed against the floor by 2.00 cm, and the toy is released. If the toy has a mass of 100 g and rises to a maximum height of 60.0 cm, estimate the force constant of the spring? Copyright © 2009, Raymond.
A bungee cord is rated at 545N/m. The jump is off a bridge above a river. Unstretched, the bungee cord is 68.0 m long. A 72.0 kg person jumps. They fall till and the cord begins to stretch. Find the amount by which cord has stretched when the person’s speed is 14.0 m/s.
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?
A certain spring has a length of 47.6 cm when a 4.49 kg mass is hung from it and a length of 58.6 cm when a 8.23 kg mass is hung from it. What is the spring constant for this spring in N/m?
I'm trying to find the block's velocity once it leaves the spring. A block of mass, 1.8 kg is attached and secured to an end of a spring with a spring constant of 10,000 N/cm. The other end of the spring is secured to the wall. The block is pushed against the spring, which compresses the spring to a position of x = -0.04 cm. When uncompressed, the end of the spring that is attached to the block is at a position of x = 0.00 cm. The block/spring system is then released from rest, and the block travels along a rough horizontal track for the length of the spring. At 0.00 cm the surface changes. Can you help me calculate the block's velocity once it leaves the spring? Thank you.
Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as shown in the figure below. When the main leaf spring is compressed by distance yo, the helper spring engages and then helps to support any additional load. Suppose the leaf spring constant is 4.80 x 10° N/m, the helper spring constant is 3.80 x 10° N/m, and Y. = 0.500 m. Truck body -"Helper" spring Main leaf spring Axle (a) What is the compression of the leaf spring for a load of 5.10 x 10° N? 0 81 (b) How much work is done in compressing the springs? 1 34 Your response differs significantly from the correct answer.

To measure the static friction coefficient between a 1.40-kg block and a vertical wall, a spring (k = 770 N/m) is attached to the block, is pushed on the end in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward (see figure). If the spring is compressed by 0.048 m, what is the coefficient of static friction?
