- Problem 2: A certain spring has a spring constant k₁ = 660 N/m as the spring is stretched from x = 0 to x1 = 35 cm. The spring constant then changes to k₂ = 250 N/m as the spring is stretched to x2= 65 cm. From x₂= 65 cm to x3 = 89 cm the spring force is constant at F3 = 105 N.arrow_forwardA golfer hits a shot to a green that is elevated 2.50 m above the point where the ball is struck. The ball leaves the club at a speed of 19.5 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed of the ball just before it lands.

- A helicopter is dellvering food in an emergency situation, where it is difficult to land. The engineer is tasked with determining what heights the package could be dropped without breaking. She knows that if the package strikes the ground faster than the critical speed of 62.0mph, then the package will break. Neglect drag At what height would the package hit the ground with the critical speed (in given units? Could the package be safely dropped from a height of 30m? yes noarrow_forwardA drone at too great a height drops a box.
