FIG. 1. A block of mass m is released from rest on a frictionless incline of angle 0. Below the block is a spring that can be compressed with spring constant k. In the above figure, a block of mass m = 12 kg is released from rest on a frictionless incline of angle 30°. Below the block is a spring that can be compressed 2.0 cm by a force of 270 N. The block momentarily stops when it compresses the spring by 5.5 cm. How far does the block move down the incline from its rest position to this stopping point?

A block A, of mass m = 10 Kg, compresses a spring of constant K = 1000 N / m in a length x = 3 cm. Starting from rest, the block is released, which moves from that moment on a horizontal surface without friction until it collides with another block B of mass m = 40 Kg, which was at rest. (Perfectly inelastic shock) and together they go up the channel (inclined surface) without friction, to later continue along a second horizontal plane without friction, at a height h with respect to the first (see Figure). Determine the energy variation that occurs in the collision .
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force.

If the mass of the arrow is 59 g and the "spring" is massless, what is the speed (in m/s) of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?
A block of mass m = 3.9 kg slides on a horizontal rough surface head on into a spring of spring constant k = 370 N/m, as shown in Figure.
