A mass-spring system consists of a m = 1.76 kg block connected to a spring of spring constant, k = 283 N/m and resting on a frictionless surface. The spring not stretched with the block resting at its equilibrium position. At t = 0 s, the block is instantaneously smacked from the left so that it moves to the right at a distance A = 0.240 m from its equilibrium position before rebounding. Determine an expression for the kinetic energy of the spring as a function of v.

A bullet is fired horizontally at a stationary 7.0 kg target. The target sits on a frictionless horizontal surface and is connected to a spring on the backside of the target. The spring has a spring constant of 5000 N/m. The 11.0 g bullet is traveling horizontally at 675 m/s the moment before it strikes the target. After 1 ms, the bullet is embedded into the target and begins to oscillate. Ignore air resistance. (a) Determine the speed of the block immediately after the collision. Hint: what quantity is conserved during the collision? (b) Find the period and amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion. (c) Find the initial phase of the resulting simple harmonic motion. Hint: note that the block is at its equilibrium position x = 0 at t = 0. (d) On three separate graphs, plot the position vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time for the system starting when the bullet is fully embedded into the target. Be sure to clearly label your axes and the scale of each graph. (e) On a single graph, plot the potential energy, kinetic energy, and total mechanical energy as a function of time for the system starting when the bullet is fully embedded into the target. Be sure to clearly label your axes and the scale of your graph.

A block, whose mass is 0.620 kg, is attached to a spring with a force constant of 128 N/m. The block rests upon a frictionless, horizontal surface (shown in the figure below). The block is pulled to the right a distance A = 0.120 m from its equilibrium position (the vertical dashed line) and held motionless. The block is then released from rest. (a) At the instant of release, what is the magnitude of the spring force (in N) acting upon the block? N (b) At that very instant, what is the magnitude of the block's acceleration (in m/s2 )? m/s2 (c) In what direction does the acceleration vector point at the instant of release? Away from the equilibrium position (i. e. , to the right in the figure). The direction is not defined (i.e., the acceleration is zero). Toward the equilibrium position (i.e., to the left in the figure). You cannot tell without more information.

A spring with a spring constant of k = 161 N/m is initially compressed by a block a distance d = 0.33 m from its unstretched length. The block is on a horizontal surface with coefficients of static and kinetic friction μs and μk and has a mass of m = 10 kg. Refer to the figure. Part (a) The block is released from the initial position and begins to move to the right. Enter an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction in the configuration shown above, in terms of defined quantities and g. Part (b) Calculate the smallest value for the coefficient of static friction μs that would keep the block from moving. Part (c) Assuming the block has just begun to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2, what is the block's acceleration in meters per second squared? a =
