You have a vertical metal rod, a spring with one end closed and the other end open so that it can slide down over the rod and then fly up when released, and a meter stick. The mass of the spring is 15g and its spring constant k is 6 N/m Your group decides to test the work-energy principle by stretching the spring a distance Dy = 30 cm, releasing it from rest and measuring how high it goes. Use your understanding of energy to predict how high the spring will go. Discuss what assumptions are being made in making your prediction. PLEASE INCLUDE FORCE DIAGRAM AND COORDINATE SYSTEM.

A 23.3-kg mass is attached to one end of a horizontal spring, with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall.

Part AA 23.3-kg mass is attached to one end of a horizontal spring, with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The mass is pulled away from the equilibrium position (x = 0) a distance of 17.5 cm and released. It then oscillates in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 8.38 Hz. At what position, measured from the equilibrium position, is the mass 2.50 seconds after it is released?–5.23 cm16.6 cm–5.41 cm–8.84 cm–11.6 cm Part BA 23.3-kg...

A block weighing 20 N oscillates at one end of a vertical spring for which k = 140 N/m; the other end of the spring is attached to a ceiling. At a certain instant the spring is stretched 0.20 m beyond its relaxed length (the length when no object is attached) and the block has zero velocity. (a) What is the net force on the block at this instant? What are the (b) amplitude and (c) period of the resulting...

We have a metal rod of length L. The rod is on the x-axis extending from 0 to L. We select a point X on the rod randomly and uniformly and cut the rod at X. This gives two smaller rods of lengths X and L − X. We select the longer piece (if the two pieces are of equal length we select one of them) and cut it again randomly and uniformly to get three pieces. What is the...

You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and hang a 1.2 g mass from it. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.8 cm . You then attach two small plastic beads to the opposite ends of the spring, lay the spring on a frictionless table, and give each plastic bead the same charge. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.5 cm...

You have a spring hanging vertically. You add a mass to the end and let it stretch to find its new equilibrium position which is 3.17 cm below the unstretched position. You now raise the mass (compress the mass-spring system) to its original unstretched position. Now you release the mass. How far from this starting position does it travel downward until it stops and changes direction?

Consider that you have two blocks and they are connected to each other with a spring. Block AA has mass 1.00 kgkg, and block BB has mass 3.00 kgkg. The blocks are compressed with a spring SS between them; then the system is released from rest on a level, frictionless surface. The spring, which has negligible mass, is not fastened to either block and drops to the surface after it has expanded. The spring has force constant 720 N/mN/m and is...

A spring of spring constant k sits on a frictionless horizontal surface, one end of the spring is attached to a wall, the other end to a block of mass M, also resting on the frictionless surface. The system executes simple harmonic motion such that at a given point the mass is -1/6 of the amplitude moving away from equilibrium, and 0.5 seconds later it has 1/7 of the maximum speeds, moving towards equilibrium, having passed equilibrium once. 1) How...
