Question
In starting a game of pinball, the 44.7 g ball rests on a spring, of spring constant k = 18.8 N/m, that has been compressed by 0.0900 m. If the spring is released, how far up the pinball table (which is inclined at 39.0°) does the ball go before rolling back down again? You can assume it doesn't hit any obstacles on the way up.

- A bowling ball of mass m = 1.6 kg is resting on a spring compressed by a distance d = 0.36 m when the spring is released. At the moment the spring reaches its equilibrium point, the ball is launched from the spring into the air in projectile motion at an angle of θ = 38° measured from the horizontal. It is observed that the ball reaches a maximum height of h = 3.5 m, measured from the initial position of the ball. Let the gravitational potential energy be zero at the initial height of the bowling ball. a. What is the spring constant k, in newtons per meter? b. Calculate the speed of the ball, vo in m/s, just after the launch.arrow_forwardA0.90 kg brick compresses a spring 0.35 meters at point A and the spring has a spring constant of 75 N/m.

The string has a length of 0.75 m. With the string hanging vertically, the object is given an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s parallel to the ground and swings upward on a circular arc. Eventually, the object comes to a momentary halt at a point where the string makes an angle θ with its initial vertical orientation and then swings back downward. Find the angle θ.arrow_forward

The block starts at rest with the spring unstretchedbefore sliding down a distance of 0.5 m down the incline. Assume that µk = 0.20.What is the velocity of the block as soon as it slides 0.5 m down the incline?arrow_forwardAn ideal spring is attached to the ceiling. While the spring is held at its relaxed length, a wooden block (M = 850 g) is attached to the bottom of the spring, and a ball of clay (m = 210 g) is pressed onto the bottom of the block so that they stick together. The block+clay are gently lowered through a distance of d = 2.7 cm and are then released, at which point they hang motionlessly from the bottom of the spring. After a few minutes have passed, the clay unsticks itself from the block and falls from rest to the ground. 1. What is the resulting period T of the block’s oscillation after the separation occurs? 2. As d approaches 0, what limit does T approach?arrow_forward
- Consider the track shown in the figure below. Section AB is a quadrant of a circle of radius r = 2.00 m and is frictionless. From B to C is a horizontal section 3.0 m long with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.250. The section CD under the spring is frictionless. A block of mass m = 1.00 kg is released from rest at A. After sliding on the track, the block compresses 0.200 m the spring. Determine (using conservation of energy): (a) the speed of the block at point B. (b) the thermal energy (internal energy) produced when the block slips from B to C. (c) the velocity of the block at point C.

You move the block to the right along the surface by pulling with a constant 20.0 N horizontal force. when the back of the block reaches point B, you let go of the block.
