A small 0.65-kg box is launched from rest by a horizontal spring as shown in Figure P9.50. The block slides on a track down a hill and comes to rest at a distance d from the base of the hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the track is 0.35 along the entire track. The spring has a spring constant of 34.5 N/m, and is compressed 30.0 cm with the box attached. The block remains on the track at all times. a. What would you include in the system? Explain your choice. b. Calculate d. c. Compare your answer with your answer to Problem 50 if you did that problem.
Consider a block of mass 0.200 kg attached to a spring of spring constant 100 N/m. The block is placed on a frictionless table, and the other end of the spring is attached to the wall so that the spring is level with the table. The block is then pushed in so that the spring is compressed by 10.0 cm. Find the speed of the block as it crosses (a) the point when the spring is not stretched, (b) 5.00 cm to the left of point in (a), and (c) 5.00 cm to the right of point in (a).

A childs pogo stick (Fig. P7.69) stores energy in a spring with a force constant of 2.50 104 N/m. At position (x = 0.100 m), the spring compression is a maximum and the child is momentarily at rest. At position (x = 0), the spring is relaxed and the child is moving upward. At position , the child is again momentarily at rest at the top of the jump. The combined mass of child and pogo stick is 25.0 kg. Although the boy must lean forward to remain balanced, the angle is small, so lets assume the pogo stick is vertical. Also assume the boy does not bend his legs during the motion. (a) Calculate the total energy of the childstickEarth system, taking both gravitational and elastic potential energies as zero for x = 0. (b) Determine x. (c) Calculate the speed of the child at x = 0. (d) Determine the value of x for which the kinetic energy of the system is a maximum. (e) Calculate the childs maximum upward speed.

A box slides on a frictionless surface with a total energy of 50 J. It hits a spring and compresses the spring a distance of 25 cm from equilibrium. If the same box with the same initial energy slides on a rough surface, it only compresses the spring a distance of 15 cm, how much energy must have been lost by sliding on the rough surface?
You are lying in your bedroom, resting after doing your physics homework. As you stare at your ceiling, you come up with the idea for a new game. You grab a dart with a sticky nose and a mass of 19.0 g. You also grab a spring that has been lying on your desk from some previous project. You paint a target pattern on your ceiling. Your new game is to place the spring vertically on the floor, place the sticky-nose dart facing upward on the spring, and push the spring downward until the coils all press together, as on the right in Figure P7.26. You will then release the spring, firing the dart up toward the target on your ceiling, where its sticky nose will make it hang from the ceiling. The spring has an uncompressed end-to-end length of 5.00 cm, as shown on the left in Figure P7.26, and can be compressed to an end-to-end length of 1.00 cm when the coils are all pressed together. Before trying the game, you hold the upper end of the spring in one hand and hang a bundle of ten identical darts from the lower end of the spring. The spring extends by 1.00 cm due to the weight of the darts. You are so excited about the new game that, before doing a test of the game, you run out to gather your friends to show them. When your friends are in your room watching and you show them the first firing of your new game, why are you embarrassed?
A pogo stick has a spring with a force constant of 2.50104 N/m, which can be compressed 12.0 cm.

Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategies for Energy.
At the start of a basketball game, a referee tosses a basketball straight into the air by giving it some initial speed. After being given that speed, the ball reaches a maximum height of 4.25 m above where it started. Using conservation of energy, find a. the balls initial speed and b. the height of the ball when it has a speed of 2.5 m/s.
