- Why is the following situation impossible? In a new casino, a supersized pinball machine is introduced. Casino advertising boasts that a professional basketball player can lie on top of the machine and his head and feet will not hang off the edge! The ball launcher in the machine sends metal balls up one side of the machine and then into play. The spring in the launcher (Fig. P6.60) has a force constant of 1.20 N/cm. The surface on which the ball moves is inclined = 10.0 with respect to the horizontal. The spring is initially compressed its maximum distance d = 5.00 cm. A ball of mass 100 g is projected into play by releasing the plunger. Casino visitors find the play of the giant machine quite exciting.arrow_forwardA 2000 kg (19,600 N) elevator with broken cables in a test rig is falling at 4.00 m/s when it contacts a cushioning spring at the bottom of the shaft. The spring is intended to stop the elevator, compressing 2.00 m as it does so . During the motion a safety clamp applies a constant 17,000 N friction force to the elevator. What is the necessary force constant k for the spring?arrow_forwardA 65 kg student is standing atop a spring in an elevator that is accelerating upward at 2.8 m/s2. The spring constant is 2600 N/m. By how much is the spring compressed? Δy=arrow_forward
- A person accelerates a 12 kg mass at 2.7m/(s^2) by pulling on a spring that is 1.1 m long at rest. The coefficient of friction between the two surfaces is 0.2. L 3 If the spring extends to 1.35 m, what is the spring. constant k? k = 129.6N/m ? 0%arrow_forwardA horizontal spring with spring constant 230 N/m is compressed by 10 cm and then used to launch a 200 g box across the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.23. a.) What is the box's launch speed? vf=arrow_forwardA toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.22-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 4.93 cm and has a force constant of 7.98 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 14.4 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.031 6 N on the ball. a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? (in m/s) b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed? (in cm) c) What is this maximum speed? (in m/s)arrow_forward

Use g=9.8 m/s2. h Ymax h/5 What is her maximum height above the water after leaving the slide? Hint: it is possible to do this without doing projectile motion, even desirable as we are trying to learn conservation of energy; this problem does require you to use conservation of energy more than once.arrow_forwardA farmer pulls a 0.6 kg bucket full of water from a well, only slightly accelerating it from 0.4 m/s to 1.0 m/s over the depth of 7.0 m.

- A 500 g hockey puck slides across frictionless ice with an initial speed of 2.0 m/s. A compressed air gun is used to exert a 1.0 N force on the puck and is aimed at the puck’s front edge at 30° below the horizontal. This force is applied continuously as the puck moves 50 cm. What is the puck’s final speed? answer is 2.39m/s. please show how.arrow_forwardA block of unknown mass is placed on a ramp at a height h above the ground as shown. The block is given a push so it has an initial velocity of v0.
