In a popular new hockey game, the players use small launchers with springs to move a 0.005-kg puck. Each spring has a spring constant of 120 N/m and can be compressed up to 0.04 m. Please draw a labeled motion diagram for the following problem.
Added by Nicholas H.
Step 1
Given: Spring constant, k = 120 N/m Compression distance, x = 0.04 m The initial potential energy of the spring can be calculated using the formula: Potential energy = 1/2 * k * x^2 Substitute the given values: Potential energy = 1/2 * 120 * (0.04)^2 Potential Show more…

In a popular new hockey game, the players use small launchers with springs to move a 0.003-kg puck. Each spring has a spring constant of 129 N/m and can be compressed up to 0.02 m. Determine the maximum speed with which the puck can be launched. a. Draw a sketch b. Draw a work-energy diagram AND a motion diagram - Take the moment when the spring is fully compressed right before the puck is launched as your initial state and after the spring is fully relaxed and the puck is moving at its highest speed as your final state. c. Solve.

A horizontal spring with spring constant $k=15.19 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$ is compressed $23.11 \mathrm{~cm}$ from its equilibrium position. A hockey puck with mass $m=170.0 \mathrm{~g}$ is placed against the end of the spring. The spring is released, and the puck slides on horizontal ice, with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.02221 between the puck and the ice. How far does the hockey puck travel on the ice after it leaves the spring?
A spring with spring constant $k$ is anchored to the wall on one side of a hockey rink. A hockey puck is pressed against the spring and then released to slide across the ice. In the process the hockey puck gains a kinetic energy $K .$ Derive an expression for the initial compression of the spring $x$ in terms of $k$ and $K$.
