A vertical spring with a spring constant of 800 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the unstrained string, a 0.5 kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and attaches to the spring, which is compressed by 10 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, what is the speed of the block right before it hits the spring?

A vertical spring with a spring constant of 460 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained, a 0.30 kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and sticks to the spring, which is compressed by 2.3 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, from what height (in cm) above the compressed spring was the block dropped?
A vertical spring with a spring constant of 510 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained, a 0.30 kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and sticks to the spring, which is compressed by 2.8 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, from what height (in cm) above the compressed spring was the block dropped? _____cm
A 218-g block is dropped onto a vertical spring with spring constant k=3.3 N/cm. The block becomes attached to the spring, and the spring compresses 11.0 cm before momentarily stopping. A.
