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.

An inclined plane of angle = 20.0 has a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in Figure P6.61. A block of mass m = 2.50 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?
In the figure here, two children are playing a game in which they try to hit a small box on the floor with a marble fired from a spring-loaded gun that is mounted on a table. The target box is horizontal distance D = 2.23 m from the edge of the table. Bobby compresses the spring 1.16 cm, but the center of the marble falls 29.9 cm short of the center of the box. How far should Rhoda compress the spring to score a direct hit? Assume that neither the spring nor the ball encounters friction in the gun.

The spring of a spring gun has force constant k = 406 N/m and negligible mass. The spring is compressed 7.3 cm, and a ball with mass 25 g is placed in the horizontal barrel against the compressed spring. The spring is then released, and the ball is propelled out the barrel of the gun. The barrel is 7.3 cm long, so the ball leaves the barrel at the same point that it loses contact with the spring. The gun is held so the barrel is horizontal. What is the greatest speed the ball has along the barrel if a constant resisting force of 7.0 N acts on the ball as it moves along the barrel? (Your result must be in units of m/s and include 2 digits after the decimal point. Maximum of 3% of error is accepted in your answer.)
A 10-kilogram block is dropped from point A as shown. The rail is frictionless except for the 6 m long B and C parts. The block slides down the rail and hits a pedestrian with k = 2250 N / m and stops for a moment by compressing the spring by 30 cm according to the balance position. Find the kinetic friction coefficient between the B and C part of the rail and the block.
A horizontal spring, of force constant 12 N/m, is mounted at the edge of a lab bench to shoot marbles at targets on the floor 93.0 cm below. A marble of mass 8.3 x 10-3 kg is shot from the spring, which is initially compressed a distance of 4.0 cm. How far does the marble travel horizontally before hitting the floor?
A block of mass m 8.2 kg slides on a rough surface and moves toward a spring with a spring constant k = 1874 N/m, as shown in the figure below. When the block is d = 17.4m away from the spring, it has a velocity of v. At the instant the block momentarily stops, it has compressed the spring by x = 30 cm. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface below is u = 0.37, what is the block's velocity, v =? Provide your answer in units of m/s using one decimal place. Take g = 9.80 m/s². k m d Answer:
