Block A in Fig. has mass 1.00 kg, and block B has mass 3.00 kg. The blocks are forced together, compressing a spring S between them; then the system is released from rest on a level, frictionless surface. The spring, which has negligible mass, is not fastened to either block and drops to the surface after it has expanded. Block B acquires a speed of 1.20 m/s. (a) What is the final speed of block A? (b) How much potential energy was stored in the compressed spring?
A 22 g golf ball is placed at the top of a loop de loop track 45 cm above the top of a desk and released from rest. After the ball moves through the track, it rolls off of the table. If the table is 1.75 meters tall, how far does the golf ball travel before hitting the ground? (Friction and air resistance are negligable)
A 4.0 kg box slides on a horizontal frictionless table and collides with a 1.6 kg box initially at rest on the edge of the table, at height h = 1.0 m. The speed of the 4.0 kg box is 3.6 m/s just before the collision. If the two boxes stick together because of packing tape on their sides, what is their kinetic energy just before they strike the floor? (Your result must be in Joules and include 1 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 2% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.8 m /s 2.)
An object of mass m = 2.9 kg is free to move on a horizontal surface without any friction. It is initially at rest and starts moving under a net force of F = (3N)i + (4N)j. What is the object's speed in m/s after moving 1 meter?
The desperate contestants on a TV survival show are very hungry. The only food they can see is some fruit hanging on a branch high in a tree. Fortunately, they have a spring they can use to launch a rock. The spring constant is 1300 N/m, and they can compress the spring a maximum of 38 cm. All the rocks on the island seem to have a mass of 480 g. With what speed does the rock leave the spring?
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 51 cm and holds it in position with a force of 143 N. If the mass of the arrow is 54 g and the "spring" is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?
7.43 - A 2.0-kg piece of Figure P7.43 wood slides on a curved surface Wood (Fig. P7.43). The sides of the surface are perfectly smooth, but the rough horizontal bottom is 30 m long and has a kinetic friction coefficient of 0.20 with the wood. The piece of wood starts from rest 4.0 m above the rough bottom. (a) Where will this wood eventually come to rest? (b) For the motion from the initial release until the piece of wood comes to rest, what is the total amount of work done by friction? Rough bottom

Part 1. A 3 kg package of tamales (see the figure below) slides along a floor with speed v1 = 5 m/s. It then runs into and compresses a spring, until the package momentarily stops. Its path to the initiallyrelaxed spring is frictionless, but as it compresses the spring, a kinetic frictional force from the floor, of magnitude 15 N, acts on the package. If k = 8 000 N/m, by what distance d is the spring compressed when the package stops? What makes up the system in this problem and state a reasonable assumption about this system? Consider the following for a rotational motion:r = 6 m, θ = 0.5t2, where t is in seconds and θ is in radians.Find the magnitudes of (a) tangential acceleration at t = 4 s, and (b) radial acceleration at t = 4 s.[1+1]
A block of mass m 8.2 kg slides on a rough surface and moves toward a spring with a spring constant k = 1874 N/m, as shown in the figure below. When the block is d = 17.4m away from the spring, it has a velocity of v. At the instant the block momentarily stops, it has compressed the spring by x = 30 cm. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface below is u = 0.37, what is the block's velocity, v =? Provide your answer in units of m/s using one decimal place. Take g = 9.80 m/s². k m d Answer:
The spring in the muzzle of a child's spring gun has a spring constant of 705 N/m. To shoot a ball from the gun, first the spring is compressed and then the ball is placed on it. The gun's trigger then releases the spring, which pushes the ball through the muzzle. The ball leaves the spring just as it leaves the outer end of the muzzle. When the gun is inclined upward by 30° to the horizontal, a 57 g ball is shot to a maximum height of 1.84 m above the gun's muzzle. Assume air drag on the ball is negligible. (a) At what speed does the spring launch the ball? m/s (b) Assuming that friction on the ball within the gun can be neglected, find the initial compression distance of the spring. m
