1) A mass of 90g is placed on top of a vertical spring with a spring constant of 310N/m. The spring is then compressed further, by an outside force, by 11.4cm. The spring is released and the object is then
propelled upward. Use conservation of energy to solve.
a) What is the maximum velocity of the mass after it separates from the spring?

see earlier answer

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
