A 0.150-kg block of ice is placed against a horizontal,compressedspring mounted on a horizontal tabletop that is 1.20 mabove thefloor. The spring has force constant 1900 N/m and isinitiallycompressed 0.045 m. The mass of the spring is negligible.Thespring is released, and the block slides along the table, goesoffthe edge, and travels to the floor. If there is negligiblefrictionbetween the block of ice and the tabletop, what is thespeed of theblock of ice when it reaches the floor?

One end of a spring is attached to a solid wall while the other end just reaches to the edge of a horizontal, frictionless tabletop, which is a distance above the floor. A block of mass M is placed against the end of the spring and pushed toward the wall until the spring has been compressed a distance x, as shown above. The block is released, follows the trajectory shown, and strikes the floor a horizontal distance D from the edge of the table. Air resistance is negligible.

Determine expressions for the following quantities in terms of M,x, D,h, and g. Note that these symbols do not include the spring constant.

(a) The time elapsed from the instant the block leaves the table to the instant it strikes the floor

(b) The horizontal component of the velocity of the block just before it hits the floor

(c) The work done on the block by the spring

(d) The spring constant

A block of mass m on a horizontal frictionless tabletop isattached by a swivel to a spring that is attached to the ceiling.The vertical distance between the top of the block and the ceilingis yo, and the horizontal position is x, when the block is at x =0, the spring, which has force constant k, is completelyunstressed. (a) what is Fx, the x component of the force on theblock due to the spring, as a function of x? (b) show that Fx isproportional to x^3 for sufficiently small values of [x]. (c) Ifthe block is released from rest at x = xo, where [xo] << yo,what is its speed when it reaches x=0?
