Chapter 10, Problem 45P
** A 1.2-kg block sliding at 6.0 m/s on a frictionless surface runs into and sticks to a spring. The spring is compressed 0.10 m before stopping the block and starting its motion back in the opposite direction. What can you determine about the vibrations that start after the collision? Make a list of physical quantities and determine four of them.

13. A pair of carts, both of mass 1.1 kg are initially at rest. Between them, a spring of stiffness 35 J/cm² is squeezed with s = -2 cm. When the system is released, the spring stretches back to its equilibrium length
and the carts fly off in opposite directions. Use 'Before and After' analysis to find the speeds of the carts after they are pushed apart.

This procedure has been used to "weigh" astronauts in
space: A 42.5 kg chair is attached to a spring and allowed to
oscillate. When it is empty, the chair takes 1.30 s to make
one complete vibration. But with an astronaut sitting in it, with
her feet off the floor, the chair now takes 2.54 s for one cycle.

The bob of the pendulum is a 1-ft steel scythe connected to a 30-ft brass rod. When the man first sees the pendulum, the pivot is roughly 1 ft above the scythe so that a 29-ft length of the brass rod oscillates above the pivot (Fig. P16.39A). The man escapes when the pivot is near the end of the brass rod (Fig. P16.39B). a. Model the pendulum as a particle of mass ms 5 2 kg attached to a rod of mass mr 5 160 kg.
