A spring-loaded toy car is projected using a spring which is compressed by 10 cm. The mass of the car is 0.5 kg and the force constant of the spring is 5kN/m. Find the maximum velocity of the car?

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up aĀ -high hill, then descendsĀ Ā to the track's lowest point. You've determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum ofĀ Ā and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass ofĀ Ā . For safety reasons, the spring constant should beĀ Ā % larger than the minimum needed for the car to just make it over the top.

(a) What spring constant should you specify?
Ā 
(b) What is the maximum speed of aĀ Ā car if the spring is compressed the full amount?

A spring-loaded toy gun is aimed vertically and fired after a spherical projectile of mass m=30.0 g is loaded by compressing the spring with force constant k=825 N/m at a distance of 9.00 cm. As the projectile travels a total distance of 59.0 cm along the barrel of the gun, it experiences a friction force of 1.75 N. What is the height reached by the projectile above its initial location with the spring compressed?

One type of toy car contains a spring that is compressed as the wheels are rolled backward along a surface. The spring remains compressed until the wheels are freed, and the car is allowed to roll forward. Jose learns that if he rolls the car backward for a greater distance (up to a certain point), the car will go faster when he releases it. The spring compresses 1.00 cm for every 10.0 cm the car is rolled backward.

(a) Assuming the spring constant is 150.0 N/m, what is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when Jose rolls the car backward 20.0 cm?

(b) What is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when he rolls the car backward 30.0 cm?

(c) Explain the correlation between the results for parts (a) and (b) and Joseā€™s observations of different speeds.
