Question
1. A spring with spring constant 28 N/m is compressed a distance of 9.0 cm by a ball with a mass of 201.5 g (see figure below). The ball is then released and rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface, leaving the spring at point A. The process is repeated, using a block instead, with a mass identical to that of the ball. The block compresses the spring by 9.0 cm and is also released, leaving the spring at point A. Assume the ball rolls, but ignore other effects of friction. (Assume that the ball is a solid ball.)
(a) What is the speed of the ball at point B?
(b) What is the speed of the block at point B?
(b) What is the speed of the block at point B?

- 2. Maria and Rory are using a spring launcher to move a 125 g block to the top of a ramp. The spring launcher is at the base of the ramp and consists of a platform and a spring with a force constant of 420 N/m. The horizontal surface at the base of the ramp is smooth and frictionless. They compress the spring by 0.12 m with the block resting against the spring launcher. Once they let go, the block travels up the 1.4 m ramp and comes to rest at the top of the ramp. The top of the ramp is 1.0 m above the ground. Ramp Experiment Ad= 1.4 m smooth frictionless surface What is the average frictional force acting on the block as it moves up the ramp? Ah=1.0 marrow_forwardA 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of vi = 390 m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg block as shown in the figure below. The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected to a spring with force constant 860 N/m. The block moves d = 5.60 cm to the right after impact before being brought to rest by the spring a) Find the speed at which the bullet emerges from the block.=----m/s b) Find the amount of initial kinetic energy of the bullet that is converted into internal energy in bullet–block system during the collision. =-------Jarrow_forward3. Before: mi vi After: m2 Ax (mm) I coul m₁+m2 a) Measurements on a spring reveal that a force of 0.75 N will compress the spring by 0.25 cm. Find the spring constant of this spring, k. b) This spring is now mounted horizontally with a block of wood attached to one end. A bullet with mass m₁=0.008 kg and velocity v, is fired horizontally into the block of wood. The wood block has mass m₂=0.992 kg and is initially at rest. The bullet embeds itself in the wood and the spring is compressed by 2 cm before it comes to rest momentarily. c) Find the velocity of the block/bullet combination directly after the collision needed to compress this spring by Ax=2 cm. d) Find the initial velocity of the bullet before the collision, V₁. Hint: Is the collision elastic or inelastic?arrow_forward
- A block with a mass m = 7.80 kg is attached to a lightweight spring with a spring constant k = 100 N/m that is attached to a wall. Initially the block is at rest and the spring is relaxed, as shown in figure (a). A second block with a mass mg = 7.00 kg is pushed up against block m, compressing the spring a distance A = 0.210 m, as shown in figure (b). The two blocks are released from rest, and both start moving to the right with negligible friction. IS a (a) When block m, reaches the equilibrium point, as shown in figure (c), block m, loses contact with block m,. Block m, continues to move right at a speed v. What is the speed v (in m/s)? m/s (b) Block m, continues to move right, reaching the point where the spring is at the maximum stretch (for the first time), as shown in figure (d). At this point, what is the distance D between the two blocks (in cm)? (Assume the widths of the blocks are much smaller than D.) cmarrow_forwardA 0.454-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 23.0 N/m. The block rests on a frictionless surface. A 5.90×10−2-kg wad of putty is thrown horizontally at the block, hitting it with a speed of 8.96 m/s and sticking.How far does the putty-block system compress the spring?arrow_forwardA 0.650 kgkg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 14.0 N/mN/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with a hammer and almost instantaneously gives it a speed of 46.0 cm/scm/s. What is the block's speed at the point where x=0.20 A?arrow_forward
