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) At that instant, find its acceleration. m/s2

2) A 10.0-g bullet is fired into, and embeds itself in, a 1.80-kg block attached to a spring with a force constant of 22.4 N/m and whose mass is negligible. How far is the spring compressed if the bullet has a speed of 300 m/s just before it strikes the block and the block slides on a frictionless surface? Note: You must use conservation of momentum in this problem because of the inelastic collision between the bullet and block. ___ m

3) A horizontal object-spring system oscillates with an
amplitude of 2.8 cm. If the spring constant is 280 N/m and object
has a mass of 0.50 kg, determine each of the following
values.
(a) the mechanical energy of the system J (b) the maximum speed of
the object m/s (c) the maximum acceleration of the
object m/s2
1)
(a) By F = -kx
=>F = -119 x 0.13 = -15.47 N [-ve is just indicating the direction of Force]
(b) By a(x) = - ω^2x
=>a(x) = -(2πn)^2x
=>a(x) = -(2π x 1/2π√[k/m])^2x
=>a(x) = -(k/m)x
=>a(x) = -(119 x 0.13)/0.52
=>a(x) = -29.75 m/s^2 [-ve indicating that it is retardation]
