Helmholtz Free Energy

The Helmholtz free energy is a thermodynamic potential used to calculate the measure of useful work from a closed system. This system is kept at constant temperature and volume. German physicist Hermann Helmholtz introduced this concept in 1882.

### Scenario Description
In the scenario depicted, two children are engaged in a game where they aim to hit a small box positioned on the floor. This is achieved using a marble shot from a spring-loaded gun mounted on a table. The horizontal distance \( D \) to the target box from the table's edge measures 2.11 meters. Bobby initially compresses the spring by 1.13 centimeters, resulting in the marble falling 25.1 centimeters short of the box's center. The task is to determine how much Rhoda should compress the spring to achieve a direct hit. Assume neither friction affects the spring nor the ball inside the gun.

### Graph/Diagram Explanation
The diagram shows the setup:
- A spring-loaded gun is mounted horizontally at the table's edge.
- A curved trajectory is illustrated, representing the path of the marble.
- The horizontal distance \( D \) of 2.11 meters is marked from the table's edge to the target.
- A box is positioned on the floor at this distance, with the marble's path falling short by 25.1 centimeters.

### Input Section
A section is provided for users to input their numerical answer for how far Rhoda should compress the spring, with an option to select or enter the appropriate unit of measurement.

You are advising a fellow student who wants to learn to perform multiple flips on the trampoline. You have him bounce vertically as high as he can, keeping his body perfectly straight and vertical. You determine that he can raise his center of mass by a distance of h = 6.00 m above its level when he initiates the jump. He can do a single flip by bouncing gently, throwing his arms forward over his head, and tucking his body. You use your smartphone to make a video of him doing a single flip. Based on analysis of this video, you determine that his moment of inertia is Istraight = 26.7 kg . m2 when his body is straight and Ituck = 5.62 kg . m2 in the tuck position. You suggest that he keep his body in the straight position for Δt, = 0.400 s after leaving the trampoline surface and then immediately go into a tuckposition. As he lands, he should straighten his body out Δt, = 0.400 s before he lands. From analysis of the video recording, you determine that throwing his arms forward causes…
