A spring is used to launch a mass along a horizontal frictionless surface.
Before launch, a force of 30 N is used to hold the mass in place. The force is
released and the spring launches the 1.5 kg mass to the right. The spring
constant is 250 N/m.
a. How far was the spring compressed before launch?
b. What is the speed of the mass after it leaves the spring?
A rope hangs down from a high tree branch at the edge of a river. Josh, who has mass 65 kg, trots at 2.5 m/s to the edge of the river, grabs the rope 7.2 m below where it is tied to the branch, and swings out over the river.a. What is the minimum time that Josh must hang on to make it back to shore?b. What is the maximum tension in the rope?
