Part A A block of mass m slides along a frictionless, horizontal table at a speed of v and hits a spring, compressing it by an amount of z. If this procedure is then repeated, except the block is launched at the spring with five times the speed as before, how much will the spring compress in terms of z? Express your answer as a multiple of z.

Why is the following situation impossible? In a new casino, a supersized pinball machine is introduced. Casino advertising boasts that a professional basketball player can lie on top of the machine and his head and feet will not hang off the edge! The ball launcher in the machine sends metal balls up one side of the machine and then into play. The spring in the launcher (Fig. P6.60) has a force constant of 1.20 N/cm. The surface on which the ball moves is inclined = 10.0 with respect to the horizontal. The spring is initially compressed its maximum distance d = 5.00 cm. A ball of mass 100 g is projected into play by releasing the plunger. Casino visitors find the play of the giant machine quite exciting.
A block of mass 0.2 kg is launched by a spring k1= 2.0 N/m. The block moves along a frictionless horizontal table and pushes another spring, k2 = 2.3 N/m , to the maximum deflection x. If the initial deflection of the spring k1 is 0.050 m, what is the maximum deflection of spring k2? Consider that the masses of the springs are negligible.
A mass m starts at rest and then falls down distance l, where it contacts an unstressed spring of negligible mass. If the spring compresses for a maximum of l/2, find the force constant of the spring in terms of mg/l. a) 8mg/l b) 12mg/l c) 18 mg/l d)16 mg/l e) 3mg/l
On a flat, frictionless table, two blocks (B1 of mass 2.00 kg and B2 of mass 3.00 kg) are pressed together against either end of an ideal massless spring. The spring stores 75.0 J of elastic potential energy. The blocks are not attached to the spring. What will the coefficient of restitution be if both blocks are released simultaneously?
A ball of mass m is shot from a spring gun whose spring has a force constant k. The spring can be compressed Δx. How high can the ball be shot if the gun is aimed vertically? After you have an algebraic solution, let m = 15g, k = 600N/m and Δx = 5cm.

A box of mass m = 0.12 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of k1 = 595 N/m which has been compressed by a distance of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 158 N/m. The box is not connected to the first spring and may slide freely. How far, d2 in meters, will the second spring compress when the box runs into it? How fast, v in meters per second, will the box be moving when it strikes the second spring? Now assume that the surface is rough (that is, not frictionless). You perform the experiment and observe that the second spring only compresses a distance d2/2. How much energy, in joules, was lost to friction?
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 .
A mass M1 (of 2.5 kg) slides without friction on a table at a speed of 5 m/sec towards a mass M2 of 5 kg which can also slide without friction on the table. There is a spring on the face of M2 that will contact M1. If the spring constant is 100 N/m, what will be the maximum compression of the spring?
A cube of mass m = 0.16 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of k1 = 599 N/m which has been compressed by a distance of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 252 N/m. The cube is not connected to the first spring and may slide freely. a.) How far, d2, in meters, will the second spring compress when the cube runs into it? b.) How fast, v2 in meters per second, will the cube be moving when it strikes the second spring? c.) Now assume that the surface is rough (that is not frictionless). You perform the experiment and observe that the second spring only compress a distance d2/2. How much energy in Joules was lost to friction?
Hello, here is my question A spring with spring constant k = 3.75 N/cm is compressed 7.00 cm. A 1.50 kg mass is placed next to the compressed spring. When the spring is released, this mass moves without friction and collides with a stationary mass of 2.00 kg. The two masses stick together and move without friction up a slope angled at 20.0 degrees. (a) (10 points) How far along the slope does the two-mass system travel? (b) (5 points) If it takes 5.00*10-3 seconds from the initial impact for the two masses to stick together, what is the magnitude of the average contact force between the two blocks? (c) (5 points) The two-mass system will slide back down the slope and compress the spring. What is the spring’s maximum compression? Thank you!
A stuntman of mass 55 kg is to be launched horizontally out of a spring- loaded cannon. The spring that will launch the stuntman has a spring coefficient of 266 N/m and is compressed 5 m prior to launching the stuntman. If friction and air resistance can be ignored, what will be the approximate velocity of the stuntman once he has left the cannon? A. 4 m/s B. 7 m/s C. 11 m/s D. 15 m/s
