A mass weighing 20 pounds stretches a spring 6 inches. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 6 inches below the equilibrium position. (a) Find the position of the mass at the times 1 = 7/12, T/8, 7/6, 7/4, and 97/32 s. (b) What is the velocity of the mass when 1 = 37/16 s? In which direction is the mass heading at this instant?

You have been asked to design a "ballistic spring system" to measure the speed of bullets. A bullet of mass m is fired into a block of mass M. The block, with the embedded bullet, then slides across a frictionless table and collides with a horizontal spring whose spring constant is k. The opposite end of the spring is anchored to a wall. The spring's maximum compression d is measured.What was the speed of a 2.1 g bullet if the block's mass is 1.5 kg and if the spring, with k = 40 N/m , was compressed by 15 cm ?
A frictionless spring with a 2-kg mass can be held stretched 0.6 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 80 newtons. If the spring begins at its equilibrium position, but a push gives it an initial velocity of 2.5 m/sec, find the position of the mass after tt seconds.
A 5.75-kg mass stretches a vertical spring 0.5 m. If the spring is stretched an additional 1 m and released, how long does it take to reach the (new) equilibrium position again? (How do I find the amount of time?)
