Question:
A spring with a force constant of 51 N/m is compressed by 1.2 cm in a hockey game machine. The compressed spring is used to
accelerate a small metal puck with a mass of 71.2 grams which will then slide up an inclined surface inside the machine. Assume
friction is so tiny it may be ignored in this problem. How high in cm above its initial vertical position will the puck rise before
stopping (momentarily at least)? Note: Convert units as necessary.
A 14.1 kg pumpkin is placed on a vertical spring of negligible mass and force constant k = 2100 N/m that is compressed 31.0
cm.
When the spring is released, how high does the pumpkin rise from this initial position? (The pumpkin and the spring are not
attached.)

- An inclined plane of angle = 20.0 has a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in Figure P6.61. A block of mass m = 2.50 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? In a new casino, a supersized pinball machine is introduced. Casino advertising boasts that a professional basketball player can lie on top of the machine and his head and feet will not hang off the edge! The hall launcher in the machine sends metal halls up one side of the machine and then into play. The spring in the launcher (Fig. P7.44) has a force constant of 1.20 N/cm. The surface on which the ball moves is inclined = 10.0 with respect to the horizontal. The spring is initially compressed its maximum distance d = 5.00 cm.

The car is brought to rest by a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P6.27 (page 188). Both springs are described by Hookes law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2, = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses a distance of 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force as additional compression occurs as shown in the graph.
