Question:
A 250 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 2.5 N/cm (Figure).The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 12 cm before momentarily stopping. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by?(a) The gravitational force on it and(b) The spring force?(c) What is the speed of the block just before it hits the spring? (Assume that friction is negligible.)(d) If the speed at impact is doubled, what is the maximum compression of thespring?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
