1. A spring is stretched at different lengths. If the applied force is graphed on the vertical axis of a graph and the extension is graphed on the horizontal axis, what does the slope represent?
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.
You want to create the art installation in figure C, in which a block of mass 29.8 kg is hung with two ropes and a spring. However, first you will need to determine the spring constant of the spring (that’s part (a) of this problem).(a) The unstretched spring is shown in figure A. When you hang the block from it, the spring stretches a distance d1=20 cm. What is the spring constant?(b) Now that you know the spring constant, you set up the situation in figure C, where the spring is horizonal and stretched a distance d2=10 cm, one rope is vertical, and the other rope is at an angle θ=25.2 . Find the tension in each rope.

- Integrated Concepts A toy gun uses a spring with a force constant of 300 N/m to propel a 10.0-g steel ball. If the spring is compressed 7.00 cm and friction is negligible: (a) How much force is needed to compress the spring? (b) To what maximum height can the ball be shot? (c) At what angles above the horizontal may a child aim to hit a target 3.00 m away at the same height as the gun? (d) What is the gun's maximum range on level ground?arrow_forwardYou construct a dart gun using a spring that has a spring constant of 250 N/m. The dart you wish to launch has a mass of 0.3 kg, and compression length of the spring you design to be 0.4m. If you load and fire this dart from the dart gun, how fast will the dart's launch velocity be? Give your answer in units of m/s, however do not include the units explicitly in your answer.

The spring is then stretched an additional 4 cm and released. Assume there is no air resistance. Note that the acceleration due to gravity, g, is g = 980 cm/s. Set up a differential equation with initial conditions describing the motion and solve it for the displacement s(t) of the mass from its equilibrium position (with the spring stretched 5 cm). s(t)= (Note that your answer should measure t in seconds and s in centimeters.)

- After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 24 people including the driver, with an average mass of 70 kg per person. In addition, there are three 15-kg goats, five 3-kg chickens, and a total of 25 kg of bananas on their way to the market. Assume that the springs have somehow not yet compressed to their maximum amount. How much are the springs compressed? Enter the compression numerically in meters using two significant figures.arrow_forwardOne type of BB gun uses a spring-driven plunger to blow the BB from its barrel.

- A 0.125 kg mass is placed on a vertically oriented spring that is stretched 0.32 meters from its equilibrium position. If the spring constant is 250 N/m, how fast will the mass be moving when it reaches the equilibrium position? Hint: You cannot ignore the change in gravitational potential energy in this problem. Please give your answer in units of m/s, however, do not explicitly include units when typing your answer into the answer box. Including actual units will result in your answer being incorrectly scored.arrow_forwardA 2 kg block is launched up a frictionless inclined plane by a spring as shown in (Figure 1). The plane is inclined at 30∘and the spring constant is 1200 N/m. The block is initially pushed against the spring in order to compress the spring 0.30 m, and then it is released. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the block the moment after it is released. (Express your answer in meters per second squared to two significant figures.) Calculate the acceleration when the spring reaches the point where its compression is 0.06 m. (Express your answer in meters per second squared to two significant figures.) What is the magnitude of the acceleration when the spring reaches the point where its compression is zero? (Express your answer in meters per second squared to two significant figures.)arrow_forwardBelow are shown a series of graphs associated with the motion of the mass and a series of physical quantities. The horizontal axis for every graph is time. The graph labeled (A) is a graph of the mass's position y (keep in mind that the positive direction is down, so the maximum y value corresponds to the lowest point of the oscillation). For each physical quantity identify which graph could represent that quantity for this situation (if appropriate numerical scales were used on each axis). If none are possible, answer None. You may use a graph more than once. (Note that t = 0 on the graphs corresponds to some in-between point of the oscillation rather than a maximum, minimum, or zero. This means that we began recording the data on the graphs after the mass had already started oscillating. There would be some phase constant ϕ0, but this is not an important detail.) a.
