Part A The force required to compress an "imperfect" horizontal spring (doesn't follow Hooke's law) an amount \(x\) is given by \(F = 150x + 12x^3\), where \(x\) is in meters and \(F\) in newtons. If the spring is compressed 2.0 m, what speed will it give to a 5.4 kg ball held against it and then released? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Step 1

0 m. Given F = 150x + 12x^3, we substitute x = 2.0 m into the equation: F = 150(2.0) + 12(2.0)^3 F = 300 + 12(8) F = 300 + 96 F = 396 N Show more…
