    Maximum Speed of a Mass on a Spring with Given Mass and Spring Constant

    ok so, Fspring= 45N/m(0.08m) whick is 3.6N. then arrange f=ma to solve for a, which is a=3.6N/0.3Kg, so the a is 12. then do i use the formula Vf^2=Vi^2 + 2ad. so,i would square root (2)(12)(0.08) to get 1.4 m/s as the maximum speed?

    Force,spring constant,length

    Homework Statement A 7.50-kg ball is placed on top of a spring with a spring constant of 475 N/m that has an initial length of 35.0 cm (h1). When the ball has reached its equilibrium position, it is supported by both springs at a height of 20.0 cm above the table (h3). If the shorter spring...
