Calculation of maximum kinetic energy of a spring using various masses. Solution in JPG format.
An ideal, massless spring, pointing upwards from a surface has a mass of 3.0 kg placed on it, compressing it by 25 cm. The 3.0 kg mass is replaced by a 5.0 kg mass. The spring is then compressed by hand so that the end of the spring is 67 cm lower than the position of the spring when no mass is attached. The spring is then released. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the 5.0 kg mass?

- A .15kg block of ice is placed on a horizontal table. It is pushed back compressing a spring .045m, and the spring's constant is 1900N/m. The spring's mass is negligible. The tabletop is 1.2m above the floor. When the spring is released, the block slides off the table and onto the floor. With negligible friction between the block and the table, what is the speed of the block when it hits the floor? - A .15kg block of ice is placed on a horizontal table.

- Oscillations: The spring with varying force constant - Please see attachment. Thanks. --- Many real springs are more easily stretched than compressed. We can represent this by using different spring constants for and for . As an example, consider a ...
- Mechanical energy problem - A vertical spring (ignore its mass), whose spring constant is 900 N/m, is attached to a table and is compressed 0.150m. What speed can it give to a .300-kg ball wehn released? How high above its ori ...
- Conservation of energy including spring PE. A mass falls onto a spring which compresses to bring it to rest. - A mass M= 2.5 kg is initially distance H= 1.8 m above a relaxed spring whose force constant k is unknown. The length of the spring is A= .84 m. The mass, released at rest, falls on and compresses the ...
