During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with large catapultsthat are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to thehose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke's law with a springconstant of 140 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 3.40 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on theballoon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length?NumberUnits

Hooke's law states that the elastic restoring force acts linearly proportional to the displacement.…

An ideal spring hangs vertically. When a 453 g object is hung from the bottom end, and lowered gently, the spring stretches 5.58 cm. How much would be the spring have stretched, in cm, if the mass of the object had been 560 g instead? x'=?
A 3 kg block is fastened to a vertical string that has a spring constant of 800 N/m. A 1.2 kg block rests on top of the 3 kg block. When the blocks are at rest, how much is the spring compressed from its uncompressed length?
When you hang a 100 g mass from a spring, the spring stretches 2 cm. If you remove the 100 g mass and hang another object of unknown mass, the spring stretches 6 cm. What is the mass of the object? (Assume the spring obeys Hooke’s law and doesn’t stretches beyond its elastic limit).
A light spring with force constant 3.85 N/m is compressed by 8.00 cm as it is held between a 0.250-kg block on the left and a 0.500-kg block on the right, both resting on a horizontal surface. The spring exerts a force on each block, tending to push the blocks apart. The blocks are simultaneously released from rest. Find the acceleration with which each block starts to move, given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is (a) 0, (b) 0.100, and (c) 0.462.
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 block of mass ?=3.80 kg slides along a horizontal table with velocity ?0=1.50 m/s. At ?=0, it hits a spring with spring constant ?=41.00 N/m and it also begins to experience a friction force. The coefficient of friction is given by ?=0.400. How far has the spring compressed by the time the block first momentarily comes to rest? Assume the positive direction is to the right.
A light spring with force constant 3.80 N/m is compressed by 7.44 cm as it is held between a 0.259-kg block on the left and a 0.518-kg block on the right, both resting on a horizontal surface. The spring exerts a force on each block, tending to push them apart. The blocks are simultaneously released from rest. Find the acceleration with which each block starts to move, given that the coefficient of kinetic friction ? between each block and the surface is the following. Answer parts a-c.
Block A has a mass mA and is attached to a spring having a stiffness k and an unstretched length l0. If another block B, having a mass mB, is pressed against A so that the spring deforms a distance d, determine the distance both blocks slide on the smooth surface before they begin to separate. What is their velocity at this instance?
A 3 kg object attached to an ideal massless spring is compressed 1.2 m. If the spring constant is 45 N/m, find the magnitude of the spring force.
A block of mass ? = 300 g is released from rest from the top of a frictionless ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, a spring with a force constant ? = 400 N/m is fixed, as shown in the figure. If the maximum compression of the spring is 10 cm, determine the angle θ
An unstretched spring is 15.00cm long. When you hang a 795g weight from it, it stretches to a length of 17.00cm. B.)What total mass must you hang from the spring to stretch it to a total length of 20.00cm?
A wire is stretched 3 mm by a force of 150 N. Assuming the elastic limit is not exceeded, the force that will stretch the wire 5 mm is: (c) 90 N (b) 250 N (d) 450 N e. No answer (a) 150 N
