- A 0.20 kg object is hung on the end of a vertically suspended spring. The spring force constant is 55 N/m. The spring is released and the mass falls. a)Determine the speed of the mass after a fall of 1.5 cm. b)Determines the distance traveled by the mass before it changes direction.arrow_forwardBy Hooke’s law, we know that the magnitude of the restoring force of a spring is Fs=kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance the spring stretches. We also know that the magnitude of the gravitational force is w=mg. Therefore, if we attach a weight to the end of a spring and allow it to hang in static equilibrium, these two forces must balance each other out. Find the equation that can be used to determine the spring constant k if a mass m is attached to the end of the spring, assuming you can measure m as well as the amount the spring stretches, x.arrow_forwardUse g 9.8 m/s?. %D You have a light spring which obeys Hooke's law.

On my telemark skis, each ski binding has a set of 15cm long springs which get stretched out at the start of a ski turn and then released when the turn ends. If it takes 200N of force to stretch these springs 5cm beyond their natural length. a) Use Hooke's Law, F(x) = kx, to determine the specific force function for these springs including solving for a specific value for the spring constant k b) On a steep ski run, in the middle of a ski turn, I must deepen my ski turn to keep my speed in check as the slope rolls over. How much work must I do to stretch these springs from 2cm beyond their natural length, early in the turn, until they are 5 cm beyond their natural length, toward the end of the turn?arrow_forward
