A Hooke's law spring is compressed a distance d and is used to launch a particle of mass m vertically to a height h above its starting position. Under double the compression, the spring is now used to launch a particle of mass 2 m. How high does the second mass rise above its starting position?

a. h
c. 3h
b. 2h
d. 4h

A 5.0-kg block is attached to an ideal massless spring whose spring constant is 125 N/m. The block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x = 0.00 m to a position at x = +0.687 m and is released from rest

The block then executes lightly damped oscillation along the x-axis, and the damping force is proportional to the velocity. When the block first returns to x = 0.00 m, its x component of velocity is -2.0 m/s and its x component of acceleration is +5.6 m/s2. (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block upon release at x = +0.687 m. (b) Find the damping constant b.
