A kg block compresses a spring by cm. Assume a spring constant of Nm. What is the velocity of the block?
You didn't give me any values, but I can give you a formula that will answer your question. The force exerted by a spring is given as F = -KX, where K is the spring constant and x is the distance the spring is compressed or stretched. When the spring is compressed fully, it has a force F. When the spring is at equilibrium(aka not stretched), it has a force of zero. We can average these to say that the Average force of a spring is F = 1/2 -KX. We can now substitute the -1/2 KX into the equation F = ma. This yeilds -1/2 KX = ma. Solve for acceleration, we get (-1/2 KX)/m = a. Multiply this quantity by the amount of time the spring pushed on the object, and you have your velocity. Hope this helps whoever asked. --An AP Physics Student Bored in Study Hall

What is the spring constant of a spring?
The ratio of force applied to how much the spring streches (or compresses). In the SI, the spring constant would be expressed in Newtons/meter. A larger spring constant means the spring is "stiffer" - more force is required to stretch it a certain amount.
What happens to velocity if spring length is doubled?
If the spring's length is doubled, the spring constant is unchanged, and the velocity will remain the same in simple harmonic motion with a spring. The period of oscillation will change, as it is affected by the spring constant and mass of the object.
When a 13.2kg mass is placed on a top of a vertical spring the spring compresses 5.93 cm. find the force constant of the spring.?

What does spring loaded bb gun mean?
The Spring is the power source for the gun. When the gun is cocked the spring compresses and when the trigger is pulled the spring releases and pushes a piston that compresses a tube fill of air that fires a BB out of the barrel.
Is the spring constant is constant on the moon?
no the spring constant is not constant on moon because there is no restoring force there
What is the conservation of energy equation for a spring system?
The conservation of energy equation for a spring system is: ( frac12kx2 frac12mv2 frac12kA2 ) where: ( k ) is the spring constant ( x ) is the displacement from equilibrium ( m ) is the mass of the object attached to the spring ( v ) is the velocity of the object ( A ) is the amplitude of the oscillation
When a spring compresses does its kinetic energy increase?
No. Its potential energy does decrease.
When 100g mass attached to a spring with constant 240Nm oscillates its velocity is 20cms at x equals negative 5cm what is the amplitude?
Please do your homework by yourself.
Length of the spring is halved then the spring constant becomes?
If the length of the spring is halved, the spring constant remains the same. The spring constant is determined by the material and shape of the spring, and is not affected by changes in length.
What does the physical significance of the spring constant tells us?
The spring constant represents the stiffness of a spring. A higher spring constant means the spring is stiffer and requires more force to stretch or compress it. Conversely, a lower spring constant indicates a less stiff spring that can be easily stretched or compressed.
Which spring has maximum velocity?
The spring has maximum velocity when it is at its equilibrium position or at maximum compression or extension. This is where the spring has stored the most potential energy, which is then converted into kinetic energy, resulting in the highest velocity.
If length of spring is halved spring constant becomes?
The spring constant remains the same regardless of the length of the spring. It is a physical property of the spring material and design, representing its stiffness. Cutting the length of the spring in half will not change its spring constant.
