A mass 51.7g is held against a compressed spring on a horizontal frictionless surface. The spring has a force constant 122N/m and is compressed a distance of 2.23cm. When released the spring pushes them mass across the surface. Once the spring reaches its equilibrium position the mass separates from the spring and continues across the surface at constant velocity. Determine the final velocity of the mass when it separates from the spring (in m/s).

A 2.00-kg object hangs, at rest, on a 1.00-m-long string attached to the ceiling. A 100-g mass is fired with a speed of 20 m/s at the 2.00-kg mass, and the 100.00-g mass collides perfectly elastically with the 2.00-kg mass. Write an equation for the motion of the hanging mass after the collision. Assume air resistance is negligible.
An astronaut in her space suit has a total mass of 87.0 kg, including suit and oxygen tank. Her tether line loses its attachment to her spacecraft while shes on a spacewalk. Initially at rest with respect to her spacecraft, she throws her 12.0-kg oxygen tank away from her spacecraft with a speed of 8.00 m/s to propel herself back toward it (Fig. P6.29). (a) Determine the maximum distance she can be from the craft and still return within 2.00 min (the amount of time the air in her helmet remains breathable), (b) Explain in terms of Newtons laws of motion why this strategy works.

Professional Application Military rifles have a mechanism for reducing the recoil forces of the gun on the person firing it. An internal part recoils over a relatively large distance and is stopped by damping mechanisms in the gun. The larger distance reduces the average force needed to stop the internal part. (a) Calculate the recoil velocity of a 1.00-kg plunger that directly interacts with a 0.0200-kg bullet fired at 600 m/s from the gun. (b) If this part is stopped over a distance of 20.0 cm, what average force is exerted upon it by the gun? (c) Compare this to the force exerted on the gun if the bullet is accelerated to its velocity in 10.0 ms (milliseconds).

A toy rocket operates by having a spring-loaded tube which ejects a small model rocket when released. The spring inside has a spring constant k = 625N/m, the rocket has a mass of 0.100 kg, and the maximum compression of the spring is 0.18 m. Consider the system of the rocket, spring, and the earth. Consider the interval of time between t1, when the rocket is released from the point of maximum spring compression, and t2, the moment when the spring is fully released and the rocket leaves the launcher. List below the types of energy that are changing during this interval and whether the changes are positive or negative. Please explain how you know.
