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.

A scene in a movie has a stuntman falling through a floor onto a bed in the room below. The plan is to have the actor fall on his back, but a researcher has been hired to investigate the safety of this stunt. When the researcher examines the mattress, she sees that it effectively has a spring constant 65144 N/m for the area likely to be impacted by the stuntman, but it cannot depress more than 13.55 cm without injuring him. To approach this problem, consider a simplified version of the situation. A mass falls through a height of 3.32 m before landing on a spring of force constant 65144 N/m. Calculate the maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance.

A 69.5 kg bungee jumper is standing on a tall platform (h0 = 53 m), as seen in the photo. The bungee cord has an untrained length of L0 = 10 m, and when stretched, behaves like an ideal spring with a spring constant of k = 64.0 N/m. The jumper falls from rest, and the only forces acting on him are his weight and, for the latter part of the descent, the elastic force of the bungee cord (Assume the cord is attached at the center of mass and the center of mass drops from rest from the height of the platform.) What is his maximum speed during the fall? _______ m/s How high above the water is he when he reaches this speed? _______ m How high above the water is he when he reaches the lowest point in the fall? _______ m

A 2 kg block is launched up a frictionless inclined plane by a spring as shown in the figure. The plane is inclined at 300, and the spring constant is 1000N/m.

In a needle biopsy, a narrow strip of tissue is extracted from a patient with a hollow needle. Rather than being pushed by hand, to ensure a clean cut the needle can be fired into the patient's body by a spring. Assume the needle has mass 5.60 g, the light spring has force constant 440 N/m, and the spring is originally compressed 8.10 cm to project the needle horizontally without friction. (The spring is fully uncompressed before the needle contacts the skin.) The tip of the needle then moves through 2.40 cm of skin and soft tissue, which exerts a resistive force of 7.50 N on it. Next, the needle cuts 3.50 cm into an organ, which exerts a backward force of 9.70 N on it.
