Chapter 5, Problem 5.6CQ
A child tosses a ball straight up. She says that the ball is moving away from her hand because the ball feels an upward “force of the throw” as well as the gravitational force. (a) Can the “force of the throw” exceed the gravitational force? How would the ball move if it did? (b) Can the “force of the throw” be equal in magnitude to the gravitational force? Explain. (c) What strength can accurately be attributed to the “force of the throw”? Explain. (d) Why does the ball move away from the child’s hand?

10.0 kg is connected to a block of mass m₂
34.0 kg by a massless string that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. The 34.0-kg block is connected to a spring that has negligible mass and a force constant of k = 200 N/m as shown in the figure below. The spring is
unstretched when the system is as shown in the figure, and the incline is frictionless. The 10.0-kg block is pulled a distance h = 22.0 cm down the incline of angle = 40.0° and released from rest. Find the speed of each block when the spring is again unstretched.

Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as in the figure below. The helper spring engages when the main leaf spring is compressed by distance yo, and then helps to
support any additional load. Consider a leaf spring constant of 5.45 × 105 N/m, helper spring constant of 3.60 × 105 N/m, and y = 0.500 m.
