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.
Added by Angela S.
Step 1
The initial kinetic energy of the block is equal to the sum of the potential energy stored in the compressed spring and the final kinetic energy of the block. Show more…

A block of mass 5 kg moves on a frictionless surface with a constant velocity of 6 m/s when it strikes a spring with spring stiffness k = 500 N/m. Compute the maximum compression of the spring. Use mechanical energy.

(II) A block of mass $m$ is attached to the end of a spring (spring stiffness constant $k ),$ Fig. $6-40$ . The block is given an initial displacement $x_{0}$ , after which it oscillates back and forth. Write a formula for the total mechanical energy (ignore friction and the mass of the spring) in terms of $x_{0}$ , position $x$ , and speed $v$ .
