Question

9. A spring with spring constant 8000 N/m sits vertically on a horizontally surface. The spring has an equilibrium length of 20 cm. A 3.0 kg ball is pushed down so that the spring is compressed by 12 cm and released from rest. You may neglect the effects of air resistance. eq. 20 cm 12 cm a. How much energy must you supply the system to compress the spring by 12 cm? Remember to include both gravitational and spring potential energies. equilibrium compressed max height

b. What is the maximum height of the ball above the horizontal surface?

    A spring with spring constant 28 N/m is compressed a distance of 7.5 cm by a ball with a mass of 201.5 g (see figure below). The ball is then released and rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface, leaving the spring at point A. The process is repeated, using a block instead, with a mass identical to that of the ball. The block compresses the spring by 7.5 cm and is also released, leaving the spring at point A....

    A spring with a spring constant of 718 N/m lies on a horizontal surface and that surface is y = 0 m to calculate the gravitational potential energy. A mass of 3 kg is compressed 0.45 meters into the spring and held still. After the mass is released it slides over a horizontal surface in which a 3.4 meter portion of the surface has friction with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.30. After the horizontal surface, it travels up...

    A 2.1 kg mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 75.3 N/m. The spring is securely attached on the other end to a vertical wall so that the spring extends and contracts horizontally. The mass is shoved so the mass has a velocity of 3.1 m/s and the spring is streched 0.128 m from its equilibrium, or rest, position when the mass is released. Friction and air resistance are negligible. What is the greatest distance that...

    3. A spring with a force constant of 7.0 N/m is hung vertically and then compressed by 0.125 m. If a 0.100 kg mass is attached to the spring while compressed by 0.125 m, what will the speed of the mass be when it is passing a point 0.175 m below the compression point (i.e. 0.050 m or 5.0 cm below the equilibrium point)?

    A spring with spring constant k is positioned vertically and then compressed from its equilibrium length by a distance Delta y (Figure 1). A ball of mass m is placed on top of the spring, and is launched into the air when the spring is released (this setup is similar to the projectile launcher seen earlier in the semester). The ball travels to a maximum height h_max. Using the Work-Kinetic Energy theorem, determine h_max in terms of the given variables...
