Heedless of danger, a child leaps onto a pile of old mattresses to use them as a trampoline. His motion between two particular points is described by the energy conservation equation 12(46.0kg)(2.40m/s)2+(46.0kg)(9.80m/s2)(2.80m+x)=12(1.94104N/m)x2 (a) Solve the equation for x. (b) Compose the statement of a problem, including data, for which this equation gives the solution. (c) Add the two values of x obtained in part (a) and divide by 2. (d) What is the significance of the resulting value in part (c)?
A 0.250-kg block along a horizontal track has a speed of 1.50 m/s immediately before colliding with a light spring of force constant 4.60 N/m located at the end of the track. (a) What is the springs maximum compression if the track is frictionless? (b) If the track is not frictionless, would the springs maximum compression be greater than, less than, or equal to the value obtained in part (a)?
part A: What does the spring scale read just before the mass touches the lower spring? part B: The scale reads 14 N when the lower spring has been compressed by 1.4 cm. What is the value of the spring constant for the lower spring? part C: At what compression length will the scale read zero?
Fish are hung on a spring scale to determine their mass (most fishermen feel no obligation to report the mass truthfully). a. What is the force constant (in N/m) of the spring in such a scale if it stretches 8.50 cm for a 14.0 kg load? b. What is the mass (in kg) of a fish that stretches the spring 5.50 cm? c. How far apart (in mm) are the half-kilogram marks on the scale?
Adv. Pysics questionA A 2.0 kg object compresses a spring with a spring constant of 100 N/m by a distance of 8 cm, and then the object is released. Assuming that the object maintains the same acceleration while the spring returns to equilibrium, how fast is the object moving after 1.2 s?.
What is the minimum amount that the spring must be compressed if the car is to stay on the track? (answer in m)
A massless spring with spring constant 26 N/m hangs vertically. A body of mass 1.0 kg is attached to its free end and then released. Assume that the spring was unstretched before the body was released. Find how far below the initial position the body descends. I don't understand why I'm getting this first part wrong specifically because the formula is just x= mg/k because F=kx.
Give the expression for the frequency ?f of a simple pendulum of length ?L in the gravitational field strength ?g. Use the following notation (without the quotes): "/" for division, "*" for multiplication, "+" an "-" as usual. For powers used "^2", while for square root use "sqrt". To indicate that square root applies to the whole expression use brackets - for example, for ??‾‾‾‾√AB use sqrt(A*B). For Greek letters such as ?π, ?α etc. use pi, alpha. For example to get 1??2???‾‾‾‾√1πA2BAB use 1/pi*A^2/B*sqrt(AB). Please use the exact variables given in the conditions of the problem: e.g if ?L is given, then do not use ?l.
You are asked to design spring bumpers for the walls of a parking garage. A freely rolling 1300 kgkg car moving at 0.67 m/sm/s is to compress the spring no more than 0.066 mm before stopping. Part A What should be the force constant of the spring? Assume that the spring has negligible mass. Express your answer in newtons per meter.
Fish are hung on a spring scale to determine their mass (most fishermen feel no obligation to report the mass truthfully).

A ball is held at rest at some height above a horizontal surface. Once the ball is released it falls under gravity, hits the surface at time T1 , and starts bouncing vertically up and down. Suppose that with each bounce the ball loses a fixed fraction p (with 1>p>0) of its energy. This loss could be due to a number of reasons (inelasticity, drag, etc) that are left unspecified. How many times will the ball bounce before coming to rest? Provide a detailed explanation of your reasoning, not simply a one-line answer. How long will it take for the ball to come to rest (if at all), i.e., what is the stopping time Tstop? Give your answer for Tstop as a single formula that contains only two independent variables, namely p and the time T1 .
