Question
A 50. - kg pole vaulter running at 10. m/s vaults over the bar.
Her speed when she is above the bar is 1.0 m/s. Neglect air
resistance, as well as any energy absorbed by the pole, and
determine her altitude as she crosses the bar.

- A spring clamped to the table shoots Block 1 (110 g, wood) directly into Block 2 (80 g, steel), this perfectlyelastic collision will launch the second block up a ramp. When the spring is compressed 14 cm, the block travels upa ramp that has a height of 86 cm and then compresses another spring (310 N/m) at the top, 5 cm. What then isthe spring constant for the first spring?

You can use this information to find the initial velocity of the ball, of course, (and you should). Therefore, you should be able to calculate how much energy the spring in the projectile launcher must impart to the ball as it is being launched. The ball is pushed back 7.5 cm in the projectile launcher in order to getit ready to fire. What is the spring constant of the projectile launcher?arrow_forwardA cars bumper is designed to withstand a 4.0km/h (1.1 -m/s) collision with an immovable object without damaging the body of the car.
