A 1.6-kg table is supported on four springs. A 0.8−kg chunk of modeling clay is held above the table and dropped so that it hits the table with a speed of 1.65 m/s (Fig. below). The clay makes an inelastic collision up and down. After a long time the table comes to rest 6.0 cm below its original position. (a) What is the effective spring constant of all four springs taken together? (b) With what maximum amplitude does the platform oscillate?

Consider a frictionless track as shown in the figure below. A block of mass m1 = 2.00 kg is released from point (A) from a height of h = 1.15 m. It makes a perfectly inelastic collision at point (B) with a block of mass m2 = 2.00 kg that is initially at rest. After the collision, the block of mass m2 moves to the right and collides with a spring at point ( C . The spring is attached to a wall and has a spring constant of 8.59 kN/m. (a) Calculate the energy loss during the collision. Enter the magnitude. J (b) Calculate the maximum compression of the spring. cm (c) Instead of an inelastic collision, consider a head-on elastic collision at point B. During this specific elastic collision when the masses are equal, m1 transfers its kinetic energy to m2 and as a result, m1 comes to rest. Calculate the maximum compression of the spring. cm

A 1.40−kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Figure a). The object has a speed of v1 = 3.30 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Figure b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Figure c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Figure d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Figure e). (a) Find the distance of compression d (in m). m (b) Find the speed v (in m/s) at the unstretched position when the object is moving to the left (Figure d). m/s (c) Find the distance D (in m) where the object comes to rest. m (d) What If? If the object becomes attached securely to the end of the spring when it makes contact, what is the new value of the distance D (in m) at which the object will come to rest after moving to the left? m

A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v→0 = 17.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 38.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone? x0 = m y0 = m (b) What are the components of the initial velocity? v0x = m/s v0y = m/s (c) Write the equations for the x-and y-components of the velocity of the stone with time. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not include units in your answer.) vx = vy = (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.) x = y = (e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? s (f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? v→f = m/s θ = ∘ below the horizontal
