A vertical spring with a spring constant of 320 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained, a 0.23-kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and sticks to the spring, which is compressed by 3.3 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, from what height above the compressed spring was the block dropped?

A vertical ideal spring is mounted on the floor and has a spring constant of 180 N/m. A 0.80-kg block is placed on the spring in two different ways. (a) In one case, the block is placed on the spring and not released until it rests stationary on the spring in its equilibrium position. Determine the amount (magnitude only) by which the spring is compressed. (b) In a second situation, the block is released from rest immediately after being placed...

A vertical elastic spring with a spring constant of 619 N/m is compressed 25 cm. A ball of mass 320 grams is placed at rest on top of the compressed spring. Take that the height of the ball at this position is zero. The spring is then released so the ball is shot straight up. a)Find the total initial energy of the system consisting of the ball and the spring. b)Find the total potential (i.e before the ball is shot)...

A dart gun has a spring with a constant of 875 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 5.5 cm. You fire a 0.075-kg dart from a height of 0 m. The dart hits a wall at a height of 1.5 m. Ignore air resistance. What is the initial potential energy of the spring? What is the speed of the dart just before it hits the wall? The dart then penetrates 0.5 cm into the wall before coming to rest. How...

A moving 3.70kg block collides with a horizontal spring whose spring constant is 363 N/m. The block compresses the spring a maximum distance of 13.50cm from its rest postion. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.310. a) What is the work done by the spring in bringing the block to rest? Hint: "be careful about the sign of the work! Is it positive or negative?" b) How much mechanical energy is being dissipated...

From a vertical spring with spring constant of 110 ?/?, a 1.1−?? object is suspended. (a) Find the amount by which the spring is stretched from its unstrained length. (b) The object is pulled straight down by an additional distance of 0.20 ? and released from rest. Find the speed with which the object passes through its original position on its way up.

A 800 g air-track glider attached to a spring with spring constant 14.0 N/m is sitting at rest on a frictionless air track. A 400 g glider is pushed toward it from the far end of the track at a speed of 124 cm/s . It collides with and sticks to the 800 g glider. Part A What is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations? Part B What is their period?

A spring of negligible mass has force constant k = 1800 N/m . You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then drop a book of mass 1.40 kg onto it from a height of 0.900 m above the top of the spring. Find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed. Take the free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s2 . Express your answer using two significant figures.
