Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

Vlad needs to draw water from a deep well. He is using a bucket that is connected by rope (negligible mass) to a wooden axle at the top of the well. By cranking a handle at the end of the axle, Vlad is able to unwind the rope around the axle and move the bucket downward. The radius of the axle is R = 30 cm. The bucket is traveling downward at speed vi = 25 cm/s when the handle slips out of Vlad’s hand. As the rope unwinds and the bucket falls downward, the axle spins freely with an angular acceleration whose magnitude is α = 4.5 rad/s^2. The bucket falls through a distance of d = 7.0 m before crashing into the water. 1. What is the angular speed ωf of the axle when the bucket first hits the water? 2. As d → 0, what limit does ωf approach and why?

A 76.0 kilogram boulder is sliding horizontally at the top of a 20-meter-high vertical cliff over the surface of a lake. The top of a dam's vertical face is 100 meters from the cliff's base, with the dam's top level with the surface of the lake's water. A level plain is 25 meters below the dam's crest. (a) What must be the lowest speed of the rock as it exits the cliff in order for it to reach the plain without colliding with the dam? (a) How far does the rock reach the plain from the dam's foot?
