A small metal ball with a mass of m = 80.1 g is attached to a string of length I = 1.25 m. It is held at an angle of 0 = 56.5° with respect to the vertical. The ball is then released. When the rope is vertical, the ball collides head-on and perfectly elastically with an identical ball originally at rest. This second ball flies off with a horizontal initial velocity from a height of h = 2.94 m, and then later it hits the ground. At what distance x will the ball land?

An inclined plane of angle = 20.0 has a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in Figure P6.61. A block of mass m = 2.50 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?
A block A, of mass m = 10 Kg, compresses a spring of constant K = 1000 N / m in a length x = 3 cm. Starting from rest, the block is released, which moves from that moment on a horizontal surface without friction until it collides with another block B of mass m = 40 Kg, which was at rest. (Perfectly inelastic shock) and together they go up the channel (inclined surface) without friction, to later continue along a second horizontal plane without friction, at a height h with respect to the first (see Figure). Determine the energy variation that occurs in the collision .

A pendulum of length L = 1.0 meter and bob of mass m = 1.0 kg is released from rest at an angle θ = 30 degrees. When the pendulum reaches the vertical position, the bob strikes a cube with mass M = 3.0 kg that is resting on a frictionless table of height h = 0.85 m. d. Determine how far away from the bottom edge of the table, Δx, the cube will strike the floor e. At the location where the cube would have struck the floor, there is now a small cart of mass M = 3.0 kg and negligible height. The cube lands on the cart, and sticks to the cart in a completely *inelastic* collision. Ignore friction. Calculate the horizontal velocity of the cart just after the cube lands on it.
