Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

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 bullet of mass m embeds itself in a block of mass M, which is attached to a spring of force constant k. If the initial speedof the bullet is v0, find the maximum compression of the spring.
You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 23 ∘ . You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is on the edge of the roof, 5.2 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.3 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.52, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?

Use the approximation that vavg = pf/m for each time step.A spring with a relaxed length of 25 cm and a stiffness of 13 N/m stands vertically on a table. A block of mass 79 g is attached to the top of the spring. You pull the block upward, stretching the spring until its length is now 28.4 cm, hold the block at rest for a moment, and then release it. Using a time step of 0.1 s, predict the position and momentum of the block at a time 0.2 s after you release the block. (Assume the +y direction is upward. Express your answers in vector form.) r = m p = kg · m/s
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?
1. An object of mass M = 2, 0 kg is attached to a spring of elastic constant k = 50 N/m which is compresseda distance d = 20 cm and then released from rest, Fig. 1(a). (a) Find the velocity of the object when ithas passed from the point where the spring is relaxed and the spring is stretched a distance of 10 cm. Assume that the massis moving horizontally, on a frictionless surface. (b) Show, from Hooke's law, that the functionx(t) = Acos(ωt + φ) is a possible solution for the motion of this block. Determine the constants of this function(A, ω, and φ) and use it to find out how long it takes the mass to go from the starting point with the spring compressed by20 cm to the point where the spring is stretched by 10 cm. (c) Write an equation for the velocity as a function oftime, using the same denition of t = 0 as in part (b). Use this equation to find the velocity (magnitudeand direction) when time is t = 3T/4 where T is the period of motion of the mass in the spring.
Solve the following: You have been asked to design a "ballistic spring system" to measure the speed of bullets. A spring whose spring constant is kk is suspended from the ceiling. A block of mass MM hangs from the spring. A bullet of mass mm is fired vertically upward into the bottom of the block. The spring's maximum compression dd is measured from its initial suspended position.
Two train cars are heading directly at one another on the same track. The first train of mass m1 has initial velocity v1,i and the second train car of mass m2 has initial velocity v2,i. The second train car has a protective bumper mounted on a spring of force constant k to absorb and dissipate impact forces. When the first train car hits the second, the spring bumper is compressed to a maximum compression xmax. At this point in time, the train cars are moving with the same velocity v. In terms of v1,i, v2,i, m1, m2, k, find expressions for: (a) The velocity v at maximum compression; (b) The maximum compression xmax; and (c) The velocity of each train car after they’ve separated.
A 4.020-gram bullet is projected horizontally to a block of timber that rest on a horizontal floor. The timber is attached to a spring and the spring is bolted to the vertical wall, as shown in the figure. If the maximum displacement of the block at impact is 0.035 meter and the stiffness of the spring is k = 315,830.996 N/m, what is the speed of the bullet when it hit the timber? Assume that the spring has no mass and that there are no loses at impact.

In your job in a police lab, you must design an apparatus to measure the muzzle velocities of bullets fired from handguns. Your solution is to attach a 2.00 kgkg wood block that rests on a horizontal surface to a light horizontal spring. The other end of the spring is attached to a wall. Initially the spring is at its equilibrium length. A bullet is fired horizontally into the block and remains embedded in it. After the bullet strikes the block, the block compresses the spring a maximum distance dd.
