Two blocks have a spring compressed between them. Mass of the first block is m1 =1 kg and mass of the second block is m2 = 3 kg. The spring has force constant 720 N/m and is initially compressed 0.225 m from its original length. For each block, what is: (a) the acceleration just after the blocks are released; (b) the final speed after the blocks leave the spring?

Two objects of masses m1 = 0.56 kg m2 = 0.88 kg are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface and a compressed spring of force constant k = 280 N/m is placed between them as in Figure P6.28a. Neglect the mass of the spring. The spring is not attached to either object and is compressed a distance of 9.8 cm. If the objects are released from rest, find the final velocity of each object as shown in Figure P6.28b. Figure P6.28
There is a compressed spring between two laboratory carts of masses m1 and m2. Initially, the carts are held at rest on a horizontal track (Fig. P10.40A). The carts are released, and the cart of mass m1 has velocity v1 in the positive x direction (Fig. P10.40B). Assume rolling friction is negligible. a. What is the net external force on the two-cart spring system? b. Find an expression for the velocity of cart 2. c. Sometimes, mistakes are made in a laboratory. For example, what changes in parts (a) and (b) if the track is not level as shown in Figure P10.40C? Explain your answer.
A block having a mass of 1.0 kg is given an initial velocity v= 6 m/s to the right and collides with a spring whose mass is negligible and whose force constant is k =100 N/m . Assuming the surface to be frictionless, e the maximum compression of the spring after the collision m 6 m 5 m None
A block of mass ?=3.70 kgm=3.70 kg slides along a horizontal table with velocity ?0=4.00 m/sv0=4.00 m/s. At ?=0x=0, it hits a spring with spring constant ?=43.00 N/mk=43.00 N/m and it also begins to experience a friction force. The coefficient of friction is given by ?=0.400μ=0.400. How far has the spring compressed by the time the block first momentarily comes to rest? Assume the positive direction is to the right.
A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 gg strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992 kgkg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to an ideal spring. The impact compresses the spring 15.0 cmcm. Calibration of the spring shows that a force of 0.750 NN is required to compress the spring 0.250 cmcm. (Figure 1) 1) Find the magnitude of the block's velocity just after impact. 2) What was the initial speed of the bullet?

Find the spring constant.
A dart gun contains a spring of spring constant k = 17 N/m which is used to fire a dart of mass m. The dart leaves the gun at a speed of v = 3.5 m/s after the spring is compressed 1 cm. What is the weight, Fg in Newtons, of the dart?
A block of mass ?=3.53 kgm=3.53 kg is attached to a spring, which is resting on a horizontal frictionless table. The block is pushed into the spring, compressing it by 5.00 cm,5.00 cm, and is then released from rest. The spring begins to push the block back toward the equilibrium position at ?=0 cm.x=0 cm. The graph shows the component of the force (in Newtons) exerted by the spring on the block versus the position of the block (in centimeters) relative to equilibrium. Use the graph to answer the questions.How much work is done by the spring is pushing the block from its initial position at ?=−5.00 cmx=−5.00 cm to ?=2.20 cm? What is the speed of the block when it reaches ?=2.20 cm? What is the maximum speed of the block?

A 5.00 gram bullet into a 1.00 kg block attached to a spring [k=900 N/m]. The bullet emerges through the block on the other side. If the block moves 5.00 cm to the right before it stops, what is the final velocity of the bullet?
The 100 N box in the figure slides on the surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of μk = 0.3. The velocity of the box when it is 0.6 m away from the plate is v = 4.5 m / s. Since the box hits the 50 N plate and its movement is prevented by the uncompressed spring with k = 6500 N / m, determine the maximum compression given to the spring. Take the collision coefficient between box and plate e = 0.8. (g = 9,81 m / s2)
