A block of mass m is attached to the end of a weightless spring and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. When the spring is compressed through a distance Δx from its unstretched length, it exerts a force F on the block. The block is released from rest from the position shown in the diagram. What is the speed of the block when the spring returns to its unstretched length? A. FΔx 2m B. FΔx m C. 2FΔx m D. 2 FΔx m

A block of mass m2 is placed on a frictionless table with another block m3 placed on top of it. The surface between m2 and m3 has a coefficient of static friction μs. The block m2 is connected with another block m1 by a massless rope which wraps around a massless pulley as shown in the right figure. The rope does NOT slip over the pulley when moving. The block m1 is connected with a spring of force constant k whose other end is fixed to the ground. The spring is stretched with an amount h away from its equilibrium point and the whole system is released from rest. (a) Find the minimum value of μs such that the block m3 can remain on block m2 without falling off. (b) After we release the system, what is the speed of m1 when the spring returns to its equilibrium position?

Starting from rest, a small block of mass m = 0.25 kg slides down an incline from a height h = 1.2 m. As it slides down, the block experiences a force of kinetic friction of constant magnitude fk = 2.1 N only over a distance L = 0.2 m, as shown in the figure. The incline is frictionless everywhere else. After reaching the bottom of the incline, the block strikes a larger block of mass M = 1.8 kg that is attached to a spring of spring constant k = 6.5 N/m. The large block was originally at rest. The blocks stick together upon impact and travel together on the frictionless horizontal surface. Assume that both blocks are subject to the regular force of gravity (g = 9.80665 m/s2). (a) Determine the speed of the small block right before it collides with the larger block. Answer: m/s (b) Determine the speed of the combination of the two blocks immediately after the collision. Answer: m/s (c) Determine the compression of the spring when the combination of the two blocks comes to rest. Answer: m

On Earth, a block of mass m is attached to a spring and immersed in a liquid. As the block moves, the liquid always exerts a force with a constant magnitude Fd but pointing opposite to the direction of motion. The spring has a relaxed length L0 and stiffness ks. As shown in the diagram, the block is initially released from rest when the length of the spring is 2∗L0. The bottom surface supporting the block is frictionless. Assume that the positive x-axis points to the right. Determine the new velocity of the block T seconds after leaving your hand. Assume T is small enough that the direction of the force doesn't change through this time period. Express your answer as a vector in terms of m, L, L0, ks, Fd and T. Determine the new net force on the block T seconds after leaving your hand. Assume T is small enough that the direction of the force doesn't change through this time period. Express your answer as a vector in terms of m, L, L0, ks, Fd and T.
