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.
DNA molecules are typically folded tightly. Stretching a strand of DNA means straightening it, and the molecules resist this straightening. Investigators can attach beads to the ends of a strand of DNA and, using “optical tweezers,” measure the force required to produce a certain extension. Data for the stretch of a 3500 base pair strand of DNA approximately follow the line in the graph shown. What is the spring constant for this strand of DNA?
A spring with spring constant k has an unstretched length L . A block of mass m is pushed against the spring to compress it to the unknown position x = A. The block is not attached to the spring and the ground is frictionless. Another force acts on the block, attracting it to the point x = 0, with a magnitude c /x2, where c is a known constant. The block is released from rest. Obtain an algebraic equation for the compressed position x = A, such that the block escapes from the attractive force. (To escape means it will go all the way to infinity where it will have zero velocity.)
Jasmine sat on a playground toy attached to a spring. When she sat down, the height of the toy reduced from 1.2 m to 0.95 m. Jasmine has a mass of 45 kg. What is the spring constant of the playground toy?

How do you measure the mass of an astronaut in orbit? (You can't just use a scale!) For the 1973 - 1979 Skylab program (Skylab was a space station that predated the current International Space Station), NASA engineers designed a Body Mass Measuring Device (BMMD). This is essentially a chair of mass m mounted on a spring with a carefully measured spring constant ks = 605.6 N/m. (The other end of the spring is connected to the Skylab itself, which has a mass much larger than the astronaut or the chair, and so remains essentially fixed as the astronaut oscillates.) The period of oscillation of the empty chair is measured to be 0.90149 s. When an astronaut is sitting in the chair, the period is 2.12151 s. What is the astronaut's mass? Please describe your reasoning!

A box is motionless, sitting on a ramp with an incline of 0 =54.4 ° being pulled in the direction up the ramp by a spring with a spring constant of k=150 N/m that is stretched x=6.4 m. The coefficient of friction between the ramp and the box are u s=0.53 and u k=0.15 and the friction force is going down the ramp. What is the mass of the box? Solve symbolically: Solve numerically: m= Units: If the box starts moving up a ramp with an acceleration of a=2.41 m/s, what is the new length that the spring will stretch?

The tension in a ligament in the human knee is approximately proportional to the extension of the ligament, if the extension is not too large. If a particular ligament has an effective spring constant of 160 N/mm as it is stretched, what is the tension in this ligament when it is stretched by 0.760 cm? What is the maximum compression of the spring? The spring sends the block back to the left. How high does the block rise?
