A spring (with spring constant k=45 N/m) is compressed by 0.2 meters. A 0.5 kg ball is placed on top and the spring is released in a perfect energy transfer. How
high will the ball go? (show your work and conservation of energy equations)

In the 1980's, congress authorized the u. s. department of energy to build the wipp facility in the chicuahuan desert in new mexico. what is the purpose of wipp?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

A58-kg boy swings a baseball bat, which causes a 0.140-kg baseball to move toward third base with a velocity of 38.0 m/s.
