A 50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. A 270 g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstret

ched. The mass is released and falls, stretching the spring by 24 cm before coming to rest at its lowest point. It then continues to oscillate vertically. Part A What is the spring constant?

Answer:

k = 22.05 N/m

Explanation:

The potential energy of the mass is converted into potential energy of the spring.

Given:

mass m = 0.27 kg

gravitational constant g = 9.8 m/s²

distance falling/ stretching of spring h = 0.24 m

U_{gravity} = U_{spring}\\ mgh = \frac{1}{2} kh^{2}

Solving for k:

k = 2mg\frac{1}{h}

When I throw a ball in the air at what point will it have the least kinetic energy
pickupchik [31]
When you throw the ball in the air it is considered kinetic energy. Once the ball reaches its max height, it stops moving and all kinetic energy turns into potential energy. So when the ball is at its highest point.
