SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around solving an oscillation problem involving a spring and a block dropped from a height of 2.8 cm. The block, upon sticking to the spring, oscillates with an amplitude of 15 cm. The relevant energy conservation equation provided is 1/2kx^2 + 1/2mv1^2 + mgh = 1/2KA^2 + 1/2mvmax^2. The urgency of the assignment, due in 2 hours, emphasizes the need for a quick solution rather than a detailed explanation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Hooke's Law and spring constants (k)
  • Familiarity with energy conservation principles in physics
  • Knowledge of oscillatory motion and amplitude
  • Basic algebra for solving equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the principles of energy conservation in mechanical systems
  • Study the derivation and application of Hooke's Law
  • Learn about oscillatory motion and its characteristics
  • Practice solving problems involving springs and oscillations
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics courses, particularly those studying mechanics and oscillatory motion, as well as anyone needing to solve spring-related problems in a time-sensitive context.

Assignement 3; Oscillation problem URGENT

Homework Statement



A spring is standing upright on a table with its bottom end fastened to the table. A block is dropped from a height 2.8cm above the top of the spring. The block sticks to the top end of the spring and then oscillates with an amplitude of 15 cm.

Homework Equations


1/2kx^2 + 1/2mv1^2+ mgh= 1/2KA^2 +1/2mvmax^2

POST ANSWER FIRST THAN EXPLANATION. DUE IN 2 HOURS urgent



The Attempt at a Solution


Tried to use conservation energy and got stuck. Dont need explanation, just an answer, its due at 7pm Est today. I tried to do it on my own but have failed miserably. If someone can do this really fast, post the answer FIRST and than post the explanation you would help me not lose 5% thanks a lot.
