Question 24





A m = kg object is held m above a relaxed massless, vertical spring with a force constant of N/m. The object is dropped onto the spring.
(a) How far does the object compress the spring?
(b) What If? Repeat part (a), but this time assume a constant air-resistance force of N acts on the object during its motion.
(c) What If? How far does the object compress the spring if the same experiment is performed on the Moon, where g1 = m/s2 and air resistance is neglected?
