A student places a 1.200 kg block next to a spring of spring constant k=4960N/m. The system rests is on a frictionless horizontal surface (see figure). The horizontal surface at the top of a building. The distance from the horizontal surface to the ground below is 7.00m. The student pushes the block against the spring until it is compressed a distance 0.100m. The block is then released so that is slides off the edge of the building. Final answers must be to the correct number of significant figures (g=9.8066m/s2 ).

a. What is the initial kinetic energy of the object when it loses contact with the spring

b. What is the initial potential energy of the object

c. Use the results of the previous parts and conservation of energy to calculate the speed of the object when it hits the ground below

A 0.2 kg block compresses a spring of spring constant 1900 N/m by 0.18 m. After being released from rest, the block slides along a smooth, horizontal and frictionless surface before colliding elastically with a 1.4 kg block which is at rest. (Assume the initial direction of motion of the sliding block before the collision is positive.) A: What is the velocity of the 0.2 kg block just before striking the 1.4 kg block? B: What is the velocity of...

A 1.55-kg block is launched by a spring and slides along a ramp as shown. The spring has a spring constant of 1180 N/m and is compressed a distance, x, before being released. The block slides up a frictionless ramp of height, H=0.550 m, above where the block leaves the spring. At the top of the ramp it flies horizontally off the ramp. Just before leaving the ramp, the kinetic energy of the block is 8.54 J. After leaving the...

A 3.0-kg block sliding on a frictionless horizontal surface is accelerated by a compressed spring. If the 200 N/m spring is initially compressed 10 cm, determine (a) the potential energy stored in the spring. As the block leaves the spring, find (b) the kinetic energy of the block, and (c) the velocity of the block.

Block B of 40.0 kg is sitting at a frictionless horizontal floor at a height h1 = 40.0 m above the ground, when a second 100.0 kg block (block A), moving at an unknown speed hits and sticks to block B. After the collision, the combination slides down a hill which has friction, with a speed of 2.00 m/s. A. What was the speed of the block A before the collision? B. At the end of the path, a very...

A spring with a spring constant of 302 N/m is initially compressed by a distance of 0.078 m from its equilibrium position. A mass of 0.038 kg is then held against the compressed spring and released from rest while upon a horizontal, frictionless surface. Assuming that the spring then pushes the mass across the surface, with speed does the mass leave the spring? Assume proper SI Units.

A.Your mass m=11 kg block slides down a frictionless ramp having angle theta=0.51 radians to the horizontal. After sliding down the ramp a distance L=16 m the block encounters a spring of spring constant k=551 N/m. The spring is parallel to the ramp. Use g=9.74 m/s/s for the acceleration of gravity. Calculate the maximum compression of the spring, in meters. Include labeled diagrams showing the initial and final configurations, and a discussion of the solution method based on energy conservation....
