2M Two blocks, of masses M = 4.0 kg and 2M, are connected to a spring of spring constant k = 150 N/m that has one end fixed, as shown in the Figure. The horizontal surface and the pulley are frictionless, and the pulley has negligible mass. The blocks are released from rest with the spring relaxed. What maximum distance does the hanging block fall before momentarily stopping? 1.57 m 2.29 m 1.05 m 1.96 m

An object of mass ?=8.9 kg is free to move on a horizontal surface without any friction. It is initially at rest and starts moving under a net force of ?⃗=(3 N)?̂+(4 N)?̂. What is the object's speed in m/s after moving 1 meter?
Fleas are agile, wingless insects that feed on the blood of their hosts. Although they are typically 2-3 mmmm long with a mass of 5.1×10−4kg they have an astonishing ability to jump when threatened. Their propulsion, which can briefly produce accelerations more than 100 times that of gravity, comes not from muscles but, in fact, from an elastomeric protein called resilin, which acts as a spring. Given that the typical launch velocity of a flea is about 1 m/sm/s, what total energy must be stored in the resilin just before the flea jumps?
Two blocks are connected by a light string that passesover a frictionless pulley as in Figure P5.38. The system is released from rest while m 2 is on thefloor and m1 is a distance h above thefloor. (a) Assuming m 1 >m 2, find anexpression for the speed of m1 justas it reaches the floor. (b) Takingm 1 = 6.5 kg, m 2 = 4.2 kg, andh = 3.2 m, evaluate your answer topart (a), and (c) find the speed ofeach block when m 1 has fallen a distanceof 1.6 m.
A mass M1 (of 2.5 kg) slides without friction on a table at a speed of 5 m/sec towards a mass M2 of 5 kg which can also slide without friction on the table. There is a spring on the face of M2 that will contact M1. If the spring constant is 100 N/m, what will be the maximum compression of the spring?
A block having a mass of 1.0 kg is given an initial velocity v= 6 m/s to the right and collides with a spring whose mass is negligible and whose force constant is k =100 N/m . Assuming the surface to be frictionless, e the maximum compression of the spring after the collision m 6 m 5 m None
A spring that has a force constant of 1050 N/m is mounted vertically on the ground. A block of mass 1.00 kg is dropped from rest from height of 1.65 m above the free end of the spring. By what distance does the spring compress?
A glider with mass m = 0.200 kg sits on a frictionless, horizontal air track, connected to a spring with force constant k = 5.00 N/m. You pull on the glider, stretching the spring 0.100 m, and release it from rest. The glider moves back toward its equilibrium position (x = 0). What is its x-velocity when x = 0.080 m?
A block of mass 0.2 kg is launched by a spring k1= 2.0 N/m. The block moves along a frictionless horizontal table and pushes another spring, k2 = 2.3 N/m , to the maximum deflection x. If the initial deflection of the spring k1 is 0.050 m, what is the maximum deflection of spring k2? Consider that the masses of the springs are negligible.
The thrust generated by a singular jet engine produces a force of F = 95000 N. Which requires the airplane (with a mass of m = 6100 kg) a distance of d = 0.92 km to take off. What is the take-off speed of the airplane vt in m/s? How far in meters would you need to depress a giant spring k = 100,000 N/m in order to launch the airplane at the same speed without help from the engine?

Fleas are agile, wingless insects that feed on the blood of their hosts. Although they are typically 2–3 mm long with a mass of 4.6×10−4 kg , they have an astonishing ability to jump when threatened. Their propulsion, which can briefly produce accelerations more than 100 times that of gravity, comes not from muscles but, in fact, from an elastomeric protein called resilin, which acts as a spring. Given that the typical launch velocity of a flea is about 1 m/s, what total energy must be stored in the resilin just before the flea jumps?
A dart gun contains a spring of spring constant k = 17 N/m which is used to fire a dart of mass m. The dart leaves the gun at a speed of v = 3.5 m/s after the spring is compressed 1 cm. What is the weight, Fg in Newtons, of the dart?
