Question
A pendulum is raised to a certain height and released from point A, as shown
in the image below. At its release, the pendulum is also given an initial
velocity of 14 m/s. Assuming that the effects of friction and air resistance
can be ignored, what will be the maximum height that the pendulum can
reach - that is , what is the height at point B? (Recall that g = 9.8 m/s2.)

- Q.8. A block of mass m = 2 kg is placed against a spring of spring constant k : = 1960 N/m on a frictionless inclined plane with an angle 0 = 30° to the hori- zontal, at the equilibrium position O of the spring. The block is pushed against the spring compressing it a distance x to point A, x OA then released from rest. If the compression of the spring is x = 20 cm then the difference in gravitational potential energy of the block between point A and point B (highest point) is: a. AP. E, = 9.8J %3D b. AP.

(Figure 1)The ball reaches a maximum height H, measured from the equilibrium position of the spring. The same ball is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far before firing. How far up does the ball go this time? Neglect friction. Assume that the spring is ideal and that the distance by which the spring is compressed is negligible compared to H.arrow_forwardMr. M pushes a box, that has a mass of 2.5 kg against a spring (k=1234 N/m) that is attached to a wall so that it compresses 14 cm and is at rest. The surface the spring is attached to is on a level 0.55m above the ground (refer to diagram). Once the block leaves the block, it encounters friction on the surface. The length of the surface is 1.5m and has a coefficient of friction of 0.11. Once it leaves the frictional surface, the box travels DOWN a frictionless ramp onto a level surface on the ground. How fast is the block going when it gets to the level surface?arrow_forward
- A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m = 1.50 kg straight up in the air, as shown in (Figure 1). The spring has spring constant k = 667 N/m. If the spring is compressed a distance of 25.0 centimeters from its equilibrium position y = 0 and then released, the ball reaches a maximum height hmax (measured from the equilibrium position of the spring). There is no air resistance, and the ball never touches the inside of the gun. Assume that all movement occurs in a straight line up and down along the y axis.
