On a horizontal, frictionless surface, a 0.50-kg mass is at rest at x=0, attached to a wall by a spring whose spring constant is 5.0 N/m. I throw a 0.10-kg lump of clay at the mass with speed 3.0 m/s, and at time t=0 the lump hits the mass and sticks to it.

(a) Where and when does the block first come to a stop?

(b) How fast is the block moving when it gets back to x=0?

A 0.50 kg mass sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring (with k = 325 N/m) whose other end is fixed. The mass has a kinetic energy of 16.0 J as it passes through its equilibrium position (the point at which the spring force is zero). At what rate is the spring doing work on the mass as the mass passes through its equilibrium position? At what rate is the spring doing...

In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.60 kg) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 128 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 1.70 kg), traveling at speed v1 = 5.80 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?

Block 2 with mass m2=5.0 kg is at rest on a frictionless surface and connected to a spring constant k=64.0 N/m. The other end of the spring is connected to a wall, and the spring is initially at its equilibrium (unstretched) position. Block 1 with mass m1=10.0 is initially traveling with speed v1=4.0 m/s and collides with block 2. The collision is instantaneous, and the blocks stick together after the collision. Find the speed of the blocks immediately after the...

A 0.55 kg block rests on a frictionless horizontal countertop, where it is attached to a massless spring whose k-value equals 23.0 N/m. Let x be the displacement, where x = 0 is the equilibrium position and x > 0 when the spring is stretched. The block is pushed, and the spring compressed, until xi = −4.00 cm. It then is released from rest and undergoes simple harmonic motion. (a) What is the block's maximum speed (in m/s) after it...

A 0.019 kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a string whose spring/force/elastic constant k is 120 N/m. The block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x=0 m to a displacement x=+0.080 m and is released from rest. The block then executes simple harmonic motion along x-axis (horizontal). When the displacement is x=0.051 m, what is the kinetic energy of the block in J?

A person with mass mp=80 kg is standing at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface holding a ball of wet clay with mass mg=10 kg . In front of the person is a large block with mass M=20 kg at rest next to a spring with stiffness k=100 N/m . The person throws the ball horizontally, it sticks to the block, and then ball and block slide and compress the spring a distance 1=0.75 m away from equilibrium before the...

A spring is attached to a wall, and a 0.50 kg block is attached to the other end of the spring. The spring-block system sits on a frictionless surface so that the block is able to oscillate without losing energy. The spring constant of the spring is k = 25 N/m. The block is pushed so that it compresses the spring by 20 cm beyond its equilibrium position. The block is released from rest at exactly the same time as...

A 1 kg mass is on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 144 N/m. The spring's unstretched length is 20 cm. You pull on the mass and stretch the spring 5 cm and release it. What is the position of the mass at 15 seconds? What is the magnitude of its velocity at that instant? The mass spring system is now flipped vertically such that gravity must be included in...
