A vertical spring with a spring constant of 800 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the unstrained string, a 0.5 kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and attaches to the spring, which is compressed by 10 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, what is the speed of the block right before it hits the spring?

A vertical spring with a spring constant of 460 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained, a 0.30 kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and sticks to the spring, which is compressed by 2.3 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, from what height (in cm) above the compressed spring was the block dropped?
A vertical spring with a spring constant of 510 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained, a 0.30 kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and sticks to the spring, which is compressed by 2.8 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, from what height (in cm) above the compressed spring was the block dropped? _____cm
A 218-g block is dropped onto a vertical spring with spring constant k=3.3 N/cm. The block becomes attached to the spring, and the spring compresses 11.0 cm before momentarily stopping. A. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done by the block's weight? B. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done by the spring C. What was the speed of the block just before it hits the spring? D. If the speed of impact is...
A 300 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 2.1 N/cm. The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 12 cm before momentarily stopping. (a) While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by the gravitational force on it? J (b) What work is done on the block by the spring force while the spring is being compressed? J (c) What is...
A) A 350-g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant k =170.0 N/m. The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 44.7 cm before momentarily stopping. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by the gravitational force on it? B) While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by the spring force? C) What is the speed of the block...
A 360 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 1.3 N/cm (see the figure). The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 13 cm before momentarily stopping. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by (a) the gravitational force on it and (b) the spring force? (c) What is the speed of the block just before it hits the spring? (Assume...
A 350.0 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 2.500 N/cm. The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 13.00 cm before momentarily stopping. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by (a) the gravitational force on it and (b) the spring force? (c) What is the speed of the block just before it hits the spring? (Assume that friction is...
A 290 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 4.7 N/cm (see the figure). The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 18 cm before momentarily stopping. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by (a) the gravitational force on it and (b) the spring force? (c) What is the speed of the block just before it hits the spring? (Assume...
A vertically mounted spring (k = 900 N/m) is compressed by 20.0 cm relative to its unstrained length. A mass (m = 0.30 kg) is placed at rest against the spring. When the spring is released, the mass is launched vertically in the air. What is the speed of the mass (m) when it passes by a point located 4.08 m above the release point?
A vertical spring with a spring coustant k = 1500 N/m is sticking up from the floor. A block with a mass of 2.6 kg is pushed downward on the spring until the spring is compressed by 4.4 cm, but the block is not connected to the spring. The block is then released at rest, and it moves upwards, leaving the spring behind. How high above its release point will the block travel before it stops and starts to fall?...
