A block of mass m = 200g is launched horizontally by a spring on a surface with negligible friction. The spring has a spring constant of k = 300 N/m, and the initial compression of the spring is 8.0 cm.

(a) What is the speed vlaunch of the block when it leaves the spring?

(b) After the launch, the block then goes onto a smooth curved ramp (still negligible friction, shown above), which simply redirects the block’s launch velocity from horizontal to vertical. As a result, the block shoots straight upward into the air with starting velocity vlaunch. How high above the horizontal surface y will the block be when it reaches its highest point in the air?

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 172 g block is launched by compressing a spring of constant k=200N/m a distance of 15 cm. The spring is mounted horizontally, and the surface directly under it is frictionless. But beyond the equilibrium position of the spring end, the surface has coefficient of friction μ=0.27. This frictional surface extends 85 cm, followed by a frictionless curved rise, as shown in the figure After launch, where does the block finally come to rest? Measure from the left end of...

A block of mass 200g is sitting on top of another block of three times that mass which is on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a horizontal spring. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is 0.2. The lower block is pulled until the attached spring is stretched by 5.0cm and is then released from rest. Find the maximum value of the spring constant for which the upper block does not slip on the lower block.

A 12.0-g piece of clay is launched horizontally at a 105-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 45 N/m. The piece of clay sticks to the side of the block. If the clay-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 16.0 cm, what was the speed of the piece of clay at impact with the block?
