At a waterpark, sleds with riders are sent along a slippery, horizontalsurface by the release of a large compressed spring. The spring,with force constant k = 40.0 N/cm and negligible mass, rests on thefrictionless horizontal surface. One end is in contact with a stationarywall. A sled and rider with total mass 70.0 kg are pushed against theother end, compressing the spring 0.375 m. The sled is then releasedwith zero initial velocity. What is the sled’s speed when the spring(a) returns to its uncompressed length and (b) is still compressed 0.200 m?
63. A 10.0-kg block is released from rest at point in Fig-
Mure P8.63. The track is frictionless except for the por-
tion between points and ©, which has a length of
6.00 m. The block travels down the track, hits a spring
of force constant 2 250 N/m, and compresses the
spring 0.300 m from its equilibrium position before
coming to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient
of kinetic friction between the block and the rough
surface between points and ©.

A rocket motor is undergoing a "bench test." It is attached to a fixed support by four large springs of constant 10^6 N/m. The motor burns fuel at a rate of 50 kg/s. When the motor is running the springs are observed to stretch 1.5 cm. Determine the exhaust speed of the burned fuel.

- A 6 000-kg freight car rolls along rails with negligible friction. The car is brought to rest by a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P7.59. Both springs are described by Hooke’s law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2 — 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses a distance of 30.0 cm. the second spring acts with the first to increase the force as additional compression occurs as shown in the graph. The car comes to rest 50.0 cm after first contacting the two-spring system. Find the car’s initialspeed.arrow_forwardYou are working with a team that is designing a new roller coaster–type amusement park ride for a major theme park. You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 250-kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 110-m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 50.0 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit.
