A cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which can move along horizontal rails, but is connected to a post by a large spring, initially unstretched and with force constant k = 1.31 x 104 N/m, as in the figure below. The cannon fires a 200-kg projectile at a velocity of 136 m/s directed 45.0°
above the horizontal.
45.0°
(a) If the mass of the cannon and its carriage is 5000 kg, find the recoil speed of the cannon.

Passage Problems
Alice (A), Bob (B), and Carrie (C) all start from their dorm and head
for the library for an evening study session. Alice takes a straight path,
below the horizontal, and land 55 m horizontally from the end of
the jump. Your job is to specify the slope of the ground so skiers'
trajectories make an angle of only 3.0° with the ground on land-
ing, ensuring their safety. What slope do you specify?
T 9.5°

- Thor flies by spinning his hammer really fast from a leather strap at the end of the handle, letting go, then grabbing it and having it pull him. If Thor wants to reach escape velocity (velocity needed to leave Earth’s atmosphere), he will need the linear velocity of the center of mass of the hammer to be 11,200 m/s. Thor's escape velocity is 33532.9 rad/s, the angular velocity is 8055.5 rad/s^2.
