Chapter , Problem 57(choose chapter or problem)
An object of mass 2.0 kg is attached to the top of a vertical spring that is anchored to the floor. The unstressed length of the spring is 8.0 cm and the length of the spring when the object is in equilibrium is 5.0 cm. When the object is resting at its equilibrium position, it is given a sharp downward blow with a hammer so that its initial speed is (a) To what maximum height above the floor does the object eventually rise? (b) How long does it take for the object to reach its maximum height for the first time? (c) Does the spring ever become unstressed? What minimum initial velocity must be given to the object for the spring to be unstressed at some time?

QUESTION:
An object of mass 2.0 kg is attached to the top of a vertical spring that is anchored to the floor. The unstressed length of the spring is 8.0 cm and the length of the spring when the object is in equilibrium is 5.0 cm. When the object is resting at its equilibrium position, it is given a sharp downward blow with a hammer so that its initial speed is (a) To what maximum height above the floor does the object eventually rise? (b) How long does it take for the object to reach its maximum height for the first time? (c) Does the spring ever become unstressed? What minimum initial velocity must be given to the object for the spring to be unstressed at some time?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
We have given the following values
Mass of the object
Uncompressed length
Length at equilibrium
Compressed length
Speed of the hammer
Let be the amplitude
Let be the spring constant
