A 700 g block is released at height ho above a vertical spring of constant k=400
N/m and negligible mass. The block sticks to the spring and momentarily stops
after compressing the spring 19.0 cm. How much work is done
by the block on the spring?
by the spring on the block?
What is the value of ho?
If the block were released from height 2.00 ho above the spring, what would be the
maximum compression of the spring?
We place the reference position for evaluating gravitational potential energy at the
relaxed position of the spring. We use x for the spring's compression, measured positively
downwards (so x > 0 means it is compressed).
(a) With x = 0.190 m,
Ws  

k x 2   7 .2 2 J   7 . 2 J

for the work done by the spring force. Using Newton's third law, we see that the work
done on the spring is 7.2 J.
(b) As noted above, Ws = –7.2 J.

which (with m = 0.70 kg) yields h0 = 0.86 m.
(d) With a new value for the height h 0  2 h 0  1 . 7 2 m , we solve for a new value of x
using the quadratic formula (taking its positive root so that x > 0).

8. A particle moving along the x axis is acted upon by a single force F = F0e-kx,
where F0 and k are constants. The particle is released from rest at x = 0. What is
the maximum kinetic energy it will attain?

9. The potential energy of a 0.20-kg particle moving along the x axis is given by
U(x) = (8.0J/m2)x2 + (2.0J/m4)x4 . When the particle is at x = 1.0m it is traveling in the positive x
direction with a speed of 5.0m/s. At what x coordinate it will stop momentarily to turn around.
