For the arrangement shown in figure, the spring is initially compressed by 3 cm . When the spring is released the block collides with the wall and rebounds to compress the spring again. (a) If the coefficient of restitution is (1)/sqrt(2) , find the maximum compression in the spring after collision. (b) If the time starts at the instant when spring is released, find the minimum time after which the block becomes stationary.

A spring is kept compressed by a small trolley of mass ring 0-5 kg lying on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the adjacent Fig. When the trolley is released, it is found to move at a speed = 2 m s^(-1) . What potential energy did the spring poses when compressed?

A 3.0kg block slides on a frictionless horizontal surface, first moving to the left at 50m//s . It collides with a spring as it moves left, compresses the spring and is brought to rest momentarily. The body continues to be accelerated to the right by the force of compressed spring. Finally, the body moves to the right at 40m//s . The block remains in contact with the spring for 0.020s . What were the magnitude and direction of the impulse of the spring on the block? What was the spring's average force on the block?

An elevatore is moving up with a constant velocity. Two different masses are attached to two different springs of same spring constant. Say you do two operations expanding the spring or compressing the spring by the same distance. Which operation consumes more energy: expanding the spring or compressing it?
