A mouse is on a crazy roller coaster which has five distinct phases. The mouse in his roller coaster car has a mass of 6 kg. The mouse starts the coaster by being pulled back 0.2 m into a spring with a spring constant of 1890 N/m. How much elastic potential energy does the mouse have as he starts his ride? After the spring is released, the mouse travels over the first hill, effectively coming to rest at the top. Calculate the height of the first hill? He then speeds into a valley. At the bottom of the valley 3 J of energy is lost due to friction. What is his total remaining energy after he travels through the valley? The mouse then travels over a 0.10 m hill. How fast is the mouse traveling over the hill at point D? The mouse finally makes it to the final phase of the ride, where he will race along at ground level. How fast is he traveling at point E?

A 69.0-kg athlete leaps straight up into the air from a trampoline with an initial speed of 8.9 m/s. The goal of this problem is to find the maximum height she attains and her speed at half maximum height. What is the gravitational potential energy associated with the athlete? Write a general equation for energy conservation in this case and solve for the maximum height. Substitute and obtain a numerical answer. Write the general equation for energy conservation and solve for the velocity at half the maximum height. Substitute and obtain a numerical answer
Suppose a stretched spring is used to supply power to a light bulb. The spring has a spring constant k=34.0 N/m and is stretched from its equilibrium length (which is the length where the spring force is zero) by a length 2.24 m. If the spring returns to its equilibrium length in 55.3 seconds, what is the average power in Watts that could be transferred from the spring to the light bulb?
