A 0.20 kg mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant equal to 240 N/m, and this mass-spring system is oscillating on a horizontal surface that is nearly frictionless. The spring was originally stretched a distance of 0.12 meters from its equilibrium (unstretched) length. a) How much did the potential energy of this mass-spring system change when the spring was originally stretched 0.12 meters? b) What is the maximum speed the mass will attain in its oscillation? c)...
A spring with a spring constant of 50 n/m is attached to a 12 kg mass. From its equilibrium point (unstretched spring) the block is pulled back a distance of .30 m The block is let go and it begins to move back to its equilibrium point. What is the velocity of the block when it reaches the equilibrium point? (Assume no friction.)
A massless spring with a spring constant k = 22.0 N/m is hanging vertically from the ceiling neither stretched nor compressed as shown in part (1). A 0.45-kg ball is attached to its free end, then slowly lowered to its equilibrium (E) position (2). Finally, the ball is pulled down a distance of 15.0 cm before being released (3). a) Using the provided information derive the algebraic expression for the stretched distance in the spring while at equilibrium. b) Calculate...
Consider hanging a block with mass m=1.0 kg from a spring with spring constant k=98 N/m. a) How much is the spring stretched at the equilibrium position (the position where the block hangs without bouncing)? b) If we lift the block up to the position where the spring is unstretched, and then let it go, what's the maximum speed of the block as it bounces? (neglect any friction) c) At the lowest point of the block's bounces, how much further...
A mass of 2.5 kg is attached to a spring that has a spring constant of 65 N/m. The mass is oscillating on a frictionless, horizontal surface. When the spring is stretched 10 cm, its elastic potential energy and the kinetic energy of the mass are equal. What is the maximum speed of the mass?
A block of mass 5 kg is attached to an ideal spring of spring constant 30 N/m on a frictionless horizontal surface. The spring is attached to a wall orn the other end. The block is moved 5 cm away from the equilibrium position of the spring such that the spring is stretched and then, it is let go. How long will it take for the block to come to a momentary stop at the other end? a) 2.565s b)...
2. A 3 kg mass is pushed against a horizontal spring of force constant 25 N/m on a frictionless table. The spring is attached to the table and the mass is not attached to the spring at all. a) how far do you have to compress the spring so that it has potential energy of 12 J? b) when you release the spring all this energy is transferred to the mass-how fast does the mass move when no longer in...
3) A mass of 1.0 kg oscillates on a spring with an amplitude of 12 cm. When the mass passes through its equilibrium point, it is moving at a speed of 2.4 m/s. A) What is the spring constant of the spring? (2 points) B) How fast is the mass moving when it is a distance of 6 cm from equilibrium? (2 points)
A 2.1 kg mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 75.3 N/m. The spring is securely attached on the other end to a vertical wall so that the spring extends and contracts horizontally. The mass is shoved so the mass has a velocity of 3.1 m/s and the spring is streched 0.128 m from its equilibrium, or rest, position when the mass is released. Friction and air resistance are negligible. What is the greatest distance that...
A block of mass m = 1.07 kg is attached to a spring with force constant 134.0 N/m. The block is free to move on a frictionless, horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The block is released from rest after the spring is stretched a distance A = 0.15 m to the right. What is the potential energy of the spring/block system 0.28 s after releasing the block?
