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

Given: A shooting guard throws a basketball m = 1 kg straight up with an initial speed of v0 = 5.5 m/s. He releases the ball at shoulder height h0 = 1.95 m. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level. Give the total mechanical energy of the ball E in terms of maximum height hm it reaches, the mass m, and the gravitational acceleration g. What is the height, hm in meters?
In the figure, a block of rnass m=12 kg is released from rest on a frictionless incline of angle 0 = 30°. Below the block is a spring that can be compressed 2.0 cm by a force of 270 N. The block momentarily stops when it compresses the spring by 5.5 cm. A) How far does the block move down the incline from its rest position to this stopping point ? B) What is the speed of the block just as it touches the spring?

To make a pendulum, a 300 g ball is attached to one end of a string that has a length of 1.4 m and negligible mass. (The other end of the string is fixed.) The ball is pulled to one side until the string makes an angle of 30.0 with the vertical; then (with the string taut) the ball is released from rest. Find (a) the speed of the ball when the string makes an angle of 20.0 with the vertical and (b) the maximum speed of the ball. (c) What is the angle between the string and the vertical when the speed of the ball is one-third its maximum value?
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.
