A 8 kg mass going 2 m/s compresses a spring .5 m. Find the spring constant of the spring. ________N/m
Added by Katie R.
Step 1
Given: Mass (m) = 8 kg Initial speed (v) = 2 m/s Initial kinetic energy (KE) = 0.5 * m * v^2 Initial KE = 0.5 * 8 * 2^2 Initial KE = 0.5 * 8 * 4 Initial KE = 16 J Show more…

A block of mass $m$ moving at a speed $v$ compresses a spring through a distance $x$ before its speed is halved. Find the spring constant of the spring.
A Hooke’s law spring is 0.5 m long when a weight of 2 kg hangs from it. The spring stretches to be a length of 0.6 m when 5 kg hangs from it. What is the spring constant of this spring?
