A sledgehammer of mass m = 1.1 kg falls freely vertically downward from a height of h = 2.5 m at an initial speed of v = 11.5 m/s before striking a partially buried piling. After the blow the piling has moved d = 0.065 m deeper. How much kinetic energy, in joules, does the sledgehammer have just before striking the piling? How much force, in newtons, was applied to the piling? Assume all the energy goes towards driving the piling into the ground, and the force of the sledgehammer is constant over the distance d that the piling is driven into the ground. Note that you can ignore the change in potential energy of the piling itself. Further, because d is so small compared to h, you can also ignore the change in potential energy of the hammer as well as it moves distance d.
The desperate contestants on a TV survival show are very hungry. The only food they can see is some fruit hanging on a branch high in a tree. Fortunately, they have a spring they can use to launch a rock. The spring constant is 1300 N/m, and they can compress the spring a maximum of 38 cm. All the rocks on the island seem to have a mass of 480 g. With what speed does the rock leave the spring?
