Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be created or destroyed — only transformed.

1. a) A steel ball is dropped from a building's roof and passes a window, taking 0.13 s to fall from the top to the bottom of the window, a distance of 1.20 m. It then falls to a sidewalk and bounces back past the window, moving from bottom to top in 0.13 s. Assume that the upward flight is an exact reverse of the fall. The time the ball spends below the bottom of the window is 1.93 s. How tall is the building? b) A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 74.1 cm vertically.

3. An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use theairport, the lowest acceleration rate is likely to be 3 m/s2. The takeoff speed forthis plane will be 65 m/s. Assuming this minimum acceleration, what is the minimum allowed length for the runway?
Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth’s rotation to once per 29 h by exerting a force parallel to the equator, opposing the rotation. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.15 × 107 N. For the purposes calculations in this problem you should treat the Earth as a sphere of uniform density even though it isn't. a. How long, in seconds, must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Superman time to devote to other villains.)

This most likely is made to be a probelm about mx''+bx'+kx=f(t) m = mass b = friction k = spring constant 4. A mass weighing four pounds stretches a spring 24 in. Suppose the mass is atequilibrium and is set into motion with a velocity of 6 inches per second. The mass is in a mediumwhere friction is small, and we assume it is zero. Note that the acceleration due to gravity near theearth’s surface where the experiment takes place can be taken as 32 ft/s2.(a) Suppose that in addition to the conditions described above, a hammer strikes the mass everyπ/2 seconds starting at t = 0.
