A spring that is compressed 13.5 cm from its equilibrium position stores 1.76 J of potential energy and has a spring constant of 193.1 N/m. The spring is being compressed in a vertical position. A pellet of 2.0 grams is placed on top of this compressed spring and released. What is the velocity once it is free from the spring and what is the maximum height achieved by the pellet? Ignore air resistance.

A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m=1.50kg straight up in the air. The spring has spring constant k=667 N/m. If the spring is compressed a distance of 19.0 cm from its equilibrium position y=0 and then released, the ball reaches a maximum height hmax (measured from the equilibrium position of the spring). There is no air resistance, and the ball never touches the inside of the gun. Assume that all movement occurs in a...

A linear (ie: it obeys Hooke’s Law) spring is placed vertically on the ground. A 200 g block is released from a height of 50 cm above the top of the spring and dropped onto it. The block compresses the spring 13 cm before coming to rest. a) Determine the stiffness constant k of the spring. (Do I include the height here?) b) Determine the equilibrium position (the place at which it can sit at rest – and remain there)...

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...
