from the floor of a room of height h. It hits the ceiling and then returns to the
floor, from which it rebounds, managing just to hit the ceiling a second time.

Portfolio Problem 4. Consider two identical springs, each with natural length
and spring constant k, attached to a horizontal frame at distance 2l apart. Their
free ends are attached to the same particle of mass m, which is hanging under
gravity. Let z denote the vertical displacement of the particle from the hori-
zontal frame, so that z < 0 when the particle is below the frame, as shown in

A particle of mass m slides in a straight line (say along i) on a surface, with initial position x ©0 and initial velocity Vo > 0 at t = 0. The = particle is subject to a constant force F = -mai, with a > 0. While sliding on the surface, the particle is also subject to a friction force v Ff = -m fo = −m fov, with fo > 0, i.e., the friction force has constant magnitude mfo and is always opposed to the motion. We also assume fo 0, and solve it to find v(t) and x(t). How long does it take for the particle to come to a stop? How far does it travel? (b) After coming to a stop, the particle starts sliding backwards with negative velocity. Write the equation of motion in this case, and solve it to find the time at which the particle returns to the original position, x = 0.

Directly below the axis A C is a region of uniform magnetic field pointing out of the page, vector Bout.
