A ball of mass m = 1.80 kg is released from rest at a height h = 65.0 cm above a light vertical spring of force constant k as in Figure P5.64a. The ball strikes the top of the spring and compresses it a distance d = 9.00 cm as in Figure P5.64b. Neglecting any energy losses during the colli- sion, find (a) the speed of the ball just as it touches the spring and (b) the force constant of т the spring. ь Figure P5.64

A toy gun uses a spring to project a 5.4-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gun is 17 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.034 N exists between barrel and projectile. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 6.1 cm for this launch? (Assume the projectile is in contact with the barrel for the full 17 cm.)
A 0.45 kg box approaches the ramp at an unknown velocity. It travels up the 0.04 meters high ramp and compresses a spring (with spring constant, k = 55 N/m) a distance of 0.05 m. How fast was the box originally traveling? Ignore friction and air resistance.
The figure here shows a plot of potential energy U versus position x of a 0.898 kg particle that can travel only along an x axis. (Nonconservative forces are not involved.) Three values are UA = 15.0 J, UB = 35.0 J and Uc = 45.0 J. The particle is released at x = 4.50 m with an initial speed of 7.52 m/s, headed in the negative x direction. (a) If the particle can reach x = 1.00 m, what is its speed there, and if it cannot, what is its turning point?
