A 3 kg block collides with a massless spring
of spring constant 94 N/m attached to a wall.
The speed of the block was observed to be
1.5 m/s at the moment of collision.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
How far does the spring compress if the sur-
face on which the mass moves is...
A 231 kg block is released at height h =
6.8 m as shown. The track is frictionless
except for a portion of length 6.3 m. The
block travels down the track, hits a spring of
force constant k = 1800 N/m, and compresses
it 3.7 m from its equilibrium position before
coming to rest momentarily.
The...
