In the given figure below, a 3.5 -kg block is sliding down a 600-rough incline. The speed of the block is 1.86 m/s at the instant it is 5.52 m from an uncompressed spring located at the other lower end of the incline. The spring has a spring or stiffness constant of 210 N/m and the coefficient kinetic friction between the block and the incline is 0.45. (a) At what speed (in m/s) will the block strike the spring? (b) What would be the maximum compression (in m) of the spring?

Check Your Understanding Why would it hurt more if you snapped your hand with a ruler than with a loose spring, even if the displacement of each system is equal?
Some people modify cars to be much closer to the ground than when manufactured. Should they install stiffer springs? Explain your answer.
A vibration sensor, used in testing a washing machine, consists of a cube of aluminum 1.50 cm on edge mounted on one end of a strip of spring steel (like a hacksaw blade) that lies in a vertical plane. The strips mass is small compared with that of the cube, but the strips length is large compared with the size of the cube. The other end of the strip is clamped to the frame of the washing machine that is not operating. A horizontal force of 1.43 N applied to the cube is required to hold it 2.75 cm away from its equilibrium position. If it is released, what is its frequency of vibration?
A jumper with a leg stiffness of 38000 N/m exerts a peak force of 4360 N. What was the center of mass displacement during the eccentric phase of the jump? If all of the strain energy was converted to kinetic energy, but no other energy was added, how high would the person have jumped if their mass was 75 kg?
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 0.05 meter and the stiffness of the spring is k = 65,295,546.460 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.

Physics students design an experiment to measure assorted coefficients of friction using a set-up similar to the one shown (not drawn to scale). A small balloon containing sand with a combined mass of 98.2gg is suspended with an ideal string of length 86.6cmcm, forming a simple pendulum. The pendulum is released from an angle of 41.4∘∘ with the vertical, and it collides with a block of mass 333gg located where the pendulum string becomes vertical. Because the balloon weighted with sand is soft and deformable, the collision is totally inelastic. The block slides for a distance of 30.8mmmm before coming to rest. a) Calculate the speed, in meters per second, of the sand-filled balloon at the instant prior to the collision. b) Calculate the speed, in meters per second, of the block at the instant following the collision. c)
