Now the astronaut lays Spring A horizontally on a table in the station on the moon. She ties one end of a string to Block X and the other to one end of Spring A. She holds the other end of Spring A motionless in her hand. With her other hand she throws Block X horizontally at a speed of 1.16 m/s. After it pulls the string tight, Block X stretches Spring A until Block X stops. Then it comes back, but the astronaut is only interested in the maximum distance the spring stretched. She records that distance which is 5.45 cm. She later repeated this experiment in the lab in Orlando. Block X moved horizontally at the same speed (1.16 m/s) while attached to a string tied to Spring A. Assume the motion of the block was completely horizontal and all sources of friction were negligible. What was the maximum distance that the spring stretched in Orlando? cm submit

The position of a particle attached to a vertical spring is given by y=(y0cost)j. The y axis points upward, y0 = 14.5 cm. and = 18.85 rad/s. Find the position of the particle at a. t = 0 and b. t = 9.0 s. Give your answers in centimeters.
An astronaut has two springs: Spring A and Spring B. She also has two metal blocks that she can hang from the springs: Block X and Block Y. At her lab in Orlando, Florida, she hangs Block X from Spring A and sees that Spring A stretches 1.98 cm as a result. Later, at a research station on the moon, she hangs block X from spring A and finds that Spring A only stretches 0.33 cm. Then (still on the moon) she hangs block Y from Spring A and sees that spring A stretches 0.53 cm. Standard Ex Einstein 1) How much would spring A stretch if Block Y were hanging from it back in the lab in Orlando? cm Submit 2) On the moon, when Block Y is hanging from Spring B, Spring B stretches a distance of 1.32 cm. In Orlando, how much would Spring B stretch when Block X is hanging from it? cm Submit
You have an apple that you would like to weigh, but you don’t have a scale. You do have a slinky and a quick internet search tells you that it has a spring constant of 10.0 N/m. You hang the apple from the slinky and measure that the slinky stretches 9.92 cm. What is the mass of the apple?
I attach a metal block to a vertical spring and it stretches by 6 cm. If I replace the block with another one twice the mass, the spring will stretch another 3 cm, making the total stretch 9 cm. another 6 cm, making the total stretch 12 cm. another 12 cm, making the total stretch 18 cm. more than another 12 cm.
