A 500 g block is released from rest and slides down a frictionless track that begins h = 1.40 m above the horizontal, as shown in Figure P13.56. At the bottom of the track, where the surface is horizontal, the block strikes and sticks to a light spring with a spring constant of 5.0 N/m. Find the maximum distance the spring is compressed.

A block of mass m starts from rest at a height h and slides down a frictionless plane inclined at angle ? with the horizontal, as shown below. The block strikes a spring of force constant k. Find the distance the spring is compressed when the block momentarily stops. (Let the distance the block slides before striking the spring be . Use the following as necessary: m, ?, k, , and g.)

A block of mass 0.540 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x. The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the block travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point , the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The speed of the block at the bottom of the track is vA = 13.5 m/s, and the block experiences an average frictional force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track.

A block of mass 451 g is pushed against the spring (located ontheleft-hand side of the
track) and compresses the spring a distance 4.7 cm fromitsequilibrium position . The block starts from rest, isacceleratedby the compressed spring,and slides across africtionlesshorizontal track(as shown in the figure below). Itleaves the trackhorizontally, flies through the air, andsubsequently strikes theground.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 .


What is the spring constant?
Answer in units of N/m.
