You attach a block to the bottom end of a spring hanging vertically. You slowly let the block move down and find that it hangs at rest with the spring stretched by 15.0 cm.

(a) 7.5 cm (b) 15.0 cm (c) 30.0 cm (d) 60.0 cm (e) The distance cannot be determined without knowing the mass and spring constant.
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.

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 light spring has unstressed length 15.5 cm. It is described by Hookes law with spring constant 4.30 N/m. One end of the horizontal spring is held on a fixed vertical axle, and the other end is attached to a puck of mass m that can mow without friction over a horizontal surface. The puck is set into motion in a circle with a period of 1.30 s. (a) Find the extension of the spring x as it depends on m. Evaluate x for (b) m = 0.070 0 kg. (c) m = 0.140 kg, (d) m = 0.180 kg, and (e) m = 0.190 kg. (f) Describe the pattern of variation of x as it depends on m.

You are working in an observatory, taking data on electromagnetic radiation from neutron stars. You happen to be analyzing results from the neutron star in Example 11.6, verifying that the period of the 10.0-km-radius neutron star is indeed 2.6 s. You go through weeks of data showing the same period. Suddenly, as you analyze the most recent data, you notice that the period has decreased to 2.3 s and remained at that level since that time. You ask your supervisor about this, who becomes excited and says that the neutron star must have undergone a glitch, which is a sudden shrinking of the radius of the star, resulting in a higher angular speed. As she runs to her computer to start writing a paper on the glitch, she calls back to you to calculate the new radius of the planet, assuming it has remained spherical. She is also talking about vortices and a superfluid core, but you dont understand those words.
