A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.30-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.00 cm and has a force constant of 8.00 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.0 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 0 N on the ball. (a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? (b) At what point does the hall have maximum speed? (c) What is this maximum speed?
Math Review Solve the two equations mi + MVi = mf + MVf and i Vi = (f Vf) for (a) f and (b) Vf if m = 2.00 kg, i = 4.00 m/s, M = 3.00 kg, and Vi = 0. (See Section 6.3.)
A bullet with a mass of 0.01 kg is tired horizontally into a block of wood hanging on a string. The bullet sticks in the wood and causes it to swing upward to a height of 0.1 m. If the mass of the wood block is 2 kg, what was the initial speed of the bullet?
A particle is suspended from a post on top of a can by a light string of length L. as shown in Figure P9.57a. The can and particle are initially moving to the right at constant speed the with the string vertical. The can suddenly comes to rest when it runs into and sticks to a bumper as shown in Figure P9.57b. The suspended panicle swings through an angle . (a) Show that the original speed of the cart can be computed from. vi=2gL(1cos) (b) If the bumper is still exerting a horizontal force on the cart when the hanging panicle is at its maximum angle forward from the vertical. at what moment does the bumper stop exerting a horizontal force?

A spring with spring constant k=600 N/m is compressed by 10 cm and launches a ball vertically into the air. The mass of the ball is 2.0 kg. Determine how high the ball will be launched.
3. What is the speed of the block of mass m1 5.0 kg and of the ball of mass m2 10 kg when it has fallen a distance h 1.0 m? The system starts from rest and neglect the friction between the block and the surface.
A spring is used to launch a mass along a horizontal frictionless surface. Before launch, a force of 30 N is used to hold the mass in place. The force is released and the spring launches the 1.5 kg mass to the right. The spring constant is 250 N/m. a. How far was the spring compressed before launch? b. What is the speed of the mass after it leaves the spring?
EXCEL Spring Problem: An experiment is conducted to determine the value of a spring constant. Objects of varied mass are suspended from the spring and the spring deflections are measured. The results are as follows: Mass, m (kg) Deflection, x (mm) 5.3 15 7.1 22 10.2 31 12 38 15.4 45 Use EXCEL to determine the spring constant, k, in N/m.
2. A 1.0 kg block initially at rest falls vertically and lands on a massless spring. Assume that the block comes to a stop momentarily after it compresses the spring. The block is initially 0.1 m away from the spring and the spring constant k = 1000 N/m. Use g = 9.8 m/s2 as the gravitational acceleration. (a) (b) subsequent state of motion of the block and explain your answer. %3D How much is the spring compressed? What happens after the block comes to a momentary stop? That is, analyze the
A ball of mass m falls freely from the ground at height h and touches a spring of height h0. The coefficient of the spring is k. Find the length of the ball compressed and how long it takes for the ball's speed to become zero and how long it takes for the ball to return to height h0.
