- A block of mass 0.500 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x (Fig. P7.79). The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the block travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point , the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The blocks speed at the bottom of the track is = 12.0 m/s, and the block experiences an average friction force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. (a) What is x? (b) If the block were to reach the top of the track, what would be its speed at that point?

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_forward
