A horizontal spring attached to a wall has a force constant of 850 N/m. A block of mass 1.00 kg is attached to the spring and oscillates freely on a horizontal, frictionless surface as in Figure 5.22. The initial goal of this problem is to find the velocity at the equilibrium point after the block is released. (a) What objects constitute the system, and through what forces do they interact? (b) What are the two points of interest? (c) Find the energy stored in the spring when the mass is stretched 6.00 cm from equilibrium and again when the mass passes through equilibrium after being released from rest. (d) Write the conservation of energy equation for this situation and solve it for the speed of the mass as it passes equilibrium. Substitute to obtain a numerical value. (e) What is the speed at the halfway point? Why isnt it half the speed at equilibrium?
Review. A 0.250-kg block resting on a frictionless, horizontal surface is attached to a spring whose force constant is 83.8 N/m as in Figure P15.15. A horizontal force F causes the spring to stretch a distance of 5.46 cm from its equilibrium position. (a) Find the magnitude of F. (b) What is the total energy stored in the system when the spring is stretched? (c) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the block just after the applied force is removed. (d) Find the speed of the block when it first reaches the equilibrium position. (e) If the surface is not frictionless but the block still reaches the equilibrium position, would your answer to part (d) be larger or smaller? (f) What other information would you need to know to find the actual answer to part (d) in this case? (g) What is the largest value of the coefficient of friction that would allow the block to reach the equilibrium position? Figure P15.15

Show that the time rate of change of mechanical energy for a damped, undriven oscillator is given by dE/dt = bv2 and hence is always negative. To do so, differentiate the expression for the mechanical energy of an oscillator, E=12mv2+12kx2, and use Equation 15.51.
A horizontal block-spring system with the block on a frictionless surface has total mechanical energy E = 47.0 J and a maximum displacement from equilibrium of 0.240 m.

(g) Suppose the same system is released from rest at x = 0.240 m on a rough surface so that it loses 14.0 J by the time it reaches its first turning point (after passing equilibrium at x = 0). What is its position at that instant?

One type of toy car contains a spring that is compressed as the wheels are rolled backward along a surface. The spring remains compressed until the wheels are freed and the car is allowed to roll forward. Jose learns that if he rolls the car backward for a greater distance (up to a certain point), the car will go faster when he releases it. The spring compresses 1.00 cm for every 10.0 cm the car is rolled backward. a. Assuming the spring constant is 150.0 N/m, what is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when Jose rolls the car backward 20.0 cm? b. What is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when he rolls the car backward 30.0 cm? c. Explain the correlation between the results for parts (a) and (b) and Joses observations of different speeds.
