Question
A block with a mass of 20 kg is attached to a spring with a forceconstant k = 50 N/m. What is the magnitude of the acceleration ofthe block when the spring is stretched 4 m from its equilibriumposition?(A) 4 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$(B) 6 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$(C) 8 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$(D) 10 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
Step 1
Mathematically, this is represented as: \[ F = kx \] where \( F \) is the force, \( k \) is the spring constant, and \( x \) is the displacement from the equilibrium position. Show more…

A block with mass of 5.0kg is suspended from an ideal spring having negligible mass and stretches the spring 0.20m to its equilibrium position. A) What is the force constant of the spring? B) The spring is then stretched 0.80m from its equilibrium position and then released with the velocity zero. Calculate the velocity of the mass when the mass passes again through the equilibrium position.
A block of mass $m=2.00 \mathrm{kg}$ is attached to a spring of force constant $k=5.00 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ that lies on a horizontal frictionless surface as shown in Figure $\mathrm{P} 13.8$ . The block is pulled to a position $x_{i}=5.00 \mathrm{cm}$ to the right of equilibrium and the right of equilibrium and released from rest. Find (a) the work required to stretch the spring and (b) the speed the block has as it passes through equilibrium.
A 4.0 -kilogram mass is attached to a spring and lowered to equilibrium. During this process, the spring stretches 2.0 meters. Determine the spring constant.
