A suspended platform of negligible mass is connected to the floor below by a long vertical spring of force constant k = 1200 N/m. A circus performer of mass m = 70 kg falls from rest onto the platform from a height of h = 5.8 m above it, as shown below. Initially, the spring is not compressed or stretched. For this problem, define your system to consist of the person, platform, spring, and Earth, and you should take the reference point y = 0 to be the initial height of the platform. Part (a) Determine the total mechanical energy for this system. Is it conserved? Defend your reasoning. Part (b) As the performer falls, consider the following two segments of their descent: (i) from the moment the performer starts moving until they reach the platform, and (ii) from the moment they start compressing the platform until they reach a maximum compression. For each of two segments, describe what happens to the kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and spring potential energy in the system. You should be specific about what forms of energy are present and how they are being converted from one to another.

A ballistic of mass m = 100 g is traveling at a speed v towards a box of mass M = 1 kg sitting at rest. The ballistic collides with and sticks to the box, and the two move as a single body with a speed v1 along a rough, horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the box and the surface is μk = 0.33. Following the collision, the two objects travel a distance D = 8 m before coming to rest. See the figure below. Part (a) Is the mechanical energy of the ballistic-box system conserved during the collision? Defend your reasoning with a conceptual argument. Part (b) Determine the initial speed v at which the ballistic was traveling. For this question, you must use the concepts of work, energy, and momentum in order to receive full credit. Part (c) Suppose instead, after the collision, the ballistic-block system slides up an incline (μk is still 0.33). In order for the ballistic-box system to still travel a distance of 8 m, would the ballistic's initial speed need to be larger or smaller? You should provide a conceptual argument; no math or calculations are necessary.
