A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is attached to a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m as shown in Figure P7.15. The block is pulled to a position xi = 5.00 cm to the right of equilibrium and released from rest. Find the speed the block has as it passes through equilibrium if (a) the horizontal surface is frictionless and (b) the coefficient of friction between block and surface is k = 0.350. Figure P7.15
A vibration sensor, used in testing a washing machine, consists of a cube of aluminum 1.50 cm on edge mounted on one end of a strip of spring steel (like a hacksaw blade) that lies in a vertical plane. The strips mass is small compared with that of the cube, but the strips length is large compared with the size of the cube. The other end of the strip is clamped to the frame of the washing machine that is not operating. A horizontal force of 1.43 N applied to the cube is required to hold it 2.75 cm away from its equilibrium position. If it is released, what is its frequency of vibration?
A block of mass 0.250 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5 000 N/m and pushed downward so that the spring is compressed by 0.100 m. After the block is released from rest, it travels upward and then leaves the spring. To what maximum height above the point of release does it rise?
An inclined plane of angle = 20.0 has a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in Figure P6.61. A block of mass m = 2.50 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?
Consider an undamped linear oscillator with a natural frequency ω0 = 0.5 rad/s and the step function a = 1 m/s2. Calculate and sketch the response function for an impulse forcing function acting for a time τ = 2π/ω0. Give a physical interpretation of the results.
In a laboratory experiment, 1 a block of mass M is placed on a frictionless table at the end of a relaxed spring of spring constant k. 2 The spring is compressed a distance x0 and 3 a small ball of mass m is launched into the block as shown in Figure P11.22. The ball and block stick together and are projected off the table of height h. Find an expression for the horizontal displacement of the ballblock system from the end of the table until it hits the floor in terms of the parameters given. FIGURE P11.22

A small block of mass M = 150 g is placed on top of a larger block of mass 3M which is placed on a level frictionless surface and is attached to a horizontal spring of spring constant k = 9.6 N/m. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is μ = 0.2. The lower block is pulled until the attached spring is stretched a distance D = 2.5 cm and released. A: Assuming the blocks are stuck together, what is the maximum magnitude of acceleration amax of the blocks in terms of the variables in the problem statement? B: Calculate a value for the magnitude of the maximum acceleration amax of the blocks in m/s2. C: Write an equation for the largest spring constant kmax for which the upper block does not slip. D: Calculate a value for the largest spring constant kmax for which the upper block does not slip, in N/m.
A block of mass m = 0.32 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of k1 = 681 N/m which has been compressed by a distance of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 466 N/m. 1. Now assume friction is present on the surface in between the ends of the springs at their equilibrium lengths, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.5. If the distance between the springs is x = 1 m, how far d2, in meters, will the second spring now compress?
A block of mass m2 = 10.0 kg, at rest on a horizontal surface that has negligible friction, is connected to a spring which is initially not stretched or compressed. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall, and the spring constant is k = 90 N/m. Another block of mass m1 = 14.0 kg and speed v1 = 3.2 m/s collides with the 10.0 kg block. The blocks stick together, and compress the spring. What is the maximum compression of the spring?
A 0.25 kg mass is held against a compressed spring with a spring constant of 2,658 N/m. The mass is initially at rest upon a horizontal surface and the spring force is directed parallel to the plane of the surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.632, with what speed does the mass leave contact with the spring if the spring is initially compressed by 0.066 m?
