A 15 kg block is attached to a very light horizontal spring of force constant 5000.0 N/m and is resting on a frictionless table. It is struck by a 3.00 kg stone at 8.00 m/s to the right, then rebounds at 2.00 m/s to the left.
Calculate the change in mechanical energy during the collision.
The change in the kinetic energy is stored as the potential energy in the spring.

A 15.0 kg box is attached to a very light horizontal spring (uncompressed) with a spring force constant 375 N/m and is resting on a smooth horizontal table. (See the figure below (Figure 1).) The box is hit by a 3.00 kg rock that is flying horizontally at 8.00 m/s to the right at the moment of the collision. After the collision, the rock rebounds at 2.00 m/s horizontally to the left. A) Find the maximum distance that the block...
Please help with the following problem A. 5.X kg block is attached to a massless spring with the spring constant of 220 N/m and is at rest on a horizontal surface with the coefficient of kinetic friction of mu_k = 0.1. The block is struck by a 1.1 kg stone traveling horizontally at 5.5 m/s as shown in the figure. The stone rebounds back at 2 m/s. Note that the friction must be taken into account. Find: (a) the speed...
1) A block of mass m = 0.52 kg is attached to a spring with force constant 119 N/m is free to move on a frictionless, horizontal surface as in the figure below. The block is released from rest after the spring is stretched a distance A = 0.13 m. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Assume that the positive direction is to the right.) (a) At that instant, find the force on the block. N (b)...
