Question
You attach a 1.90 kg block to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the block until the spring is stretched by 0.500 m and release it from rest. Assume the block slides on a horizontal surface with negligible friction. The block reaches a speed of zero again 0.500 s after release (for the first time after release). What is the maximum speed of the block (in m/s)?

- A 195 g object is attached to a spring that has a force constant of 73.5 N/m. The object is pulled 9.25 cm to the right of equilibrium and released from rest to slide on a horizontal, frictionless table. Calculate the maximum speed Umax of the object. Find the locations of the object when its velocity is one-third of the maximum speed. Treat the equilibrium position as zero, positions to the right as positive, and positions to the left as negative. position: Umax = cm position: m/s cmarrow_forwardA massive space freighter wants to accelerate at 1g. It takes time for the rocket engines to rev up, and turn up to their desired power. The freighter starts from rest, and its acceleration (until it reaches 1g) is: 3 2t 1 T 2t 3 T a(t) = – Ag - The captain wants to reach 1g at time t = T.

- A spring with k= 360 N/m is compressed x = 11cm by a 1.85 kg block on a horizontal table with coefficient of friction of 0.38. This means there is friction everywhere on the table! A. What is the speed of the block when it is released? B. Determine the distance the block travels before it comes to rest.arrow_forwardI'm not sure how to work this problem. The solutions give the answer to be V1f=0.20 m/s, v2f=2.75 m/s for part A. For part B the solutions give the answer to be x=0.22 for maximum compression for the spring. I attached a picture of the problem.arrow_forwardAn instrument to measure the acceleration of gravity on Mars is constructed of a spring from which is suspended a mass of 0.75 kg.
