A certain spring is found not to obey Hooke's law; it exerts a restoring force F₂(x) = -ax² - 6x³ if it is stretched or compressed, where: a = 10.0N/m², B = 300.0N/m³ The mass of the spring is negligible. Calculate the potential energy function U(x) for this spring, if U(x=0) = 0. Find the spring potential energy at x = 0.500 m

A child of mass m = 27 kg slides down a slide of height h = 2.1 m without friction. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level. Write an expression for the child's total mechanical energy, E, at the top of the slide, in terms of the variables in the problem and the acceleration due to gravity g. Calculate the change in the child's potential energy, ΔU in joules, from the top to the bottom of the slide at ground level (i.e. ΔU = Uground- Utop). What is the child's final speed, vf in m/s?
A pogo stick has a spring with a spring constant of 2.5 × 104 N/m, which can be compressed 12.0 cm. To what maximum height from the uncompressed spring can a child jump on the stick using only the energy in the spring, if the child and stick have a total mass of 40 kg?
A spring that obeys Hooke's law is hung in a vertical orientation. The spring is stretched a total of 6.0 cm from its equilibrium length when a 2.0 kg mass hangs from it. The spring, mass system is then pulled downward by an external force which lengthens the spring an additional 10cm. While the spring is being extended what is the work done by the spring?
A bowling ball of mass m = 1.2 kg is launched from a spring compressed by a distance d = 0.31 m at an angle of θ = 36° measured from the horizontal.
