Current Attempt in Progress In the figure, a spring with spring constant k = 180 N/m is at the top of a frictionless incline of angle = 36°. The lower end of the incline is distance D = 0.98 m from the end of the spring, which is at its relaxed length. A 1.7 kg canister is pushed against the spring until the spring is compressed 0.18 m and released from rest. (a) What is the speed of the canister at the instant the spring returns to its relaxed length (which is when the canister loses contact with the spring)? (b) What is the speed of the canister when it reaches the lower end of the incline? (a) Number i (b) Number i Ө Forord Units Units
(a) A 15.0 kg block is released from rest at point A in the figure below. The track is frictionless except for the portion between points B and C, which has a length of 6.00 m. The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2,100 N/m, and compresses the spring 0.250 m from its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface between points B and C. 3.00 m A m B -6.00 m- Ⓡ (b) What If?

Question 2 Consider a swinging pendulum. When the pendulum is at either extreme of its motion, which of the following statements about its energy is correct? Maximum gravitational potential energy, maximum kinetic energy Maximum gravitational potential energy, no kinetic energy Minimum gravitational potential energy, maximum kinetic energy Minimum gravitational potential energy, no kinetic energy
A block of mass, m = 0.5 kg is used to compress a spring with a spring con- 78.4 N/m a distance x from it's resting point. The block is then stant, k released and travels towards a circular loop of radius, R = 1.5 m. The loop and the surface as frictionless except for the region, of length 2.5 m, defined by AB which has a coefficient of friction, µk = 0.3. Determine the minimum compression of the spring that allows for the block to just make it through the loop-to-loop at point C (Hint: This problem is best done by starting at the end and working backwards).

The figure shows a pendulum of length L - 1.7 m. Its bob (which effectively has all the mass) has speed vo when the cord makes an angle 8-35° with the vertical. (a) What is the speed of the bob when it is in its lowest position if vo-9.4 m/s? What is the least value that vo can have if the pendulum is to swing down and then up (b) to a horizontal position, and (c) to a vertical position with the cord remaining straight? (d) Do the answers to (b) and (c) increase, decrease, or remain the same if 8 is increased by a few degrees? 0 L W
A simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling by means of a string of length 2.46 m. Assume that there is no friction or air resistance. Suppose you were to release the pendulum from rest, starting from an angle of 38.8 degrees with respect to the vertical, as shown. What will be the speed of the pendulum at the instant it swings through its lowest point (that is, when it s momentarily hanging vertically)? 0.98 m/s 3.26 m/s 6.13 m/s 6.95 m/s
At the top of its wing, a pendulum has 15 J of potential energy. Assume there are no conservative forces acting on the swing. Enter all values as positive numbers or zero. 4. At any point during the swing, the total mechanical energy is J.
Starting from rest, Tarzan swings on an vine that is initially at an angle of 90 ° with the vertical (i.e., it is initially horizontal, but taut). If the length of the vine is L = 10 m, what is his speed at the bottom of the swing?
