A hollow steel ball weighing 4 pounds is suspended from a spring. This stretches the spring feet. The ball is started in motion from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 5 feet per second. The air resistance (in pounds) of the moving ball numerically equals 4 times its velocity (in feet per second).

a 2 kg weight is fasten to a spring on an inclined plane. It has a spring constant of 20 N/m. When the spring is relaxed, the mass sits at the bottom of the incline. It is compressed 0.25 m from its relaxed position, and the weight is released. It goes down the incline, to the horizontal surface and up a second, identical incline. If there were kinetic friction between the weight and the right incline, but none between the weight and the left incline, what would be the coefficient of kinetic friction μk so the maximum height reachable is the same as the starting position (i.e. d=0.25m).
The cable of an elevator of mass M = 3200 kg snaps when the elevator is a rest at one of the floors of a skyscraper. At this point the elevator is a distance d = 16.6 m above a cushioning spring whose spring constant is k = 9000 N/m. A safety device clamps the elevator against the guide rails so that a constant frictional force of f = 13929 N opposes the motion of the elevator. Find the maximum distance by which the cushioning spring will be compressed.
After the power is turned off, an object on a nearly frictionless surface slows down such that it travels 99.9% as far during 1 second as during the previous second. If it travels 100 cm during the first second after the power is tuned off, how far does it travel while stopping?
A pendulum is made by letting a 3.0-kg object swing at the end of a string that has a length of 2.0 m. The maximum angle the string makes with the vertical as the pendulum swings is 30°. What is the speed of the object at the lowest point in its trajectory? Question 3 options: 1.9 m/s 2.3 m/s 2.0 m/s 2.2 m/s 2.1 m/s
A pitcher supplies a power of P = 226 W to a baseball of mass m = 0.085 kg for a period of t = 0.28 s. What is the ball's speed in m/s when it leaves his hand?
A bowling ball is attached to a 2.91-meter long cable and hung from the ceiling. The cable is kept taut and the ball is raised to an initial height of 1.73 meters above the classroom floor. It is released from rest and allowed to swing as a pendulum. Determine its speed (in m/s) when it is at a height of 1.17 meters above the floor.

A block of mass 12 kg slides down a frictionless inclined plane inclined at 35° with no initial velocity and is stopped by a spring of k= 3.0 * 10^4 N/m. The block slides a total distance of d = 3 m from the point where it was released to the point where it stops due to the resistance of the spring. How much is the spring compressed when the block stops?
A 3 kg mass is fastened to the end of a spring with a spring constant of 109 N/m. The mass position is given by x(t)=Acos(omega*t), with A=0.22 m. What is the mass's maximum speed in m/s? Give your answer to three significant figures.
A 0.30-kg object is suspended from the ceiling at the end of a string of length 1.6 m. When pulled to the side and released, it has a speed of 2.7 m/s at the lowest point of its path. What maximum angle does the string make with the vertical as the object swings up?
