In the figure here, two children are playing a game in which they try to hit a small box on the floor with a marble fired from a spring-loaded gun that is mounted on a table. The target box is horizontal distance D = 2.24 m from the edge of the table. Bobby compresses the spring 1.17 cm, but the center of the marble falls 29.0 cm short of the center of the box. How far should Rhoda compress the spring to score a direct hit? Assume that neither the spring nor the ball encounters friction in the gun.

A spring-loaded toy gun is aimed vertically and fired after a spherical projectile of mass m = 30.0 g is loaded by compressing the spring with force constant k = 825 N/m a distance of 9.00 cm. As the projectile travels a total distance of 59.0 cm along the barrel of the gun, it experiences a friction force of 1.75 N. What is the height reached by the projectile above its initial location with the spring compressed?
A Eric is twirling a ball of mass m = 0.150 kg attached to a lightweight string in a vertical circle. If the total energy of the system is conserved, by what factor does the tension on the string increase at the bottom compared with the top of the circle?
A child of mass m starts from rest and slides without friction from a height h along a slide next to a pool (Fig. P7.27). She is launched from a height h/5 into the air over the pool. We wish to find the maximum height she reaches above the water in her projectile motion. (a) Is the childEarth system isolated or nonisolated? Why? (b) Is there a nonconservative force acting within the system? (c) Define the configuration of the system when the child is at the water level as having zero gravitational potential energy. Express the total energy of the system when the child is at the top of the waterslide. (d) Express the total energy of the system when the child is at the launching point.

A 4.00 g bullet, traveling horizontally with a velocity of magnitude 400 m/s, is fired into a wooden block with mass 0.800 kg, initially at rest on a level surface. The bullet passes through the block and emerges with its speed reduced to 190 m/s. The block slides a distance of 72.0 cm along the surface from its initial position.

A bullet of mass mm = 0.0010 kgkg embeds itself in a wooden block with mass MM = 0.999 kgkg, which then compresses a spring (kkk = 130 N/mN/m ) by a distance xxx = 0.048 mm before coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and table is μμ = 0.50. a. What is the initial velocity (assumed horizontal) of the bullet? Express your answer using two significant figures. b.

(a) As shown three points in the operation of the ballistic pendulum (and shown in 9.10b). The projectile approaches the pendulum in 9.36a. 9.36b shows the situation just after the projectile is captured in the pendulum. In 9.36c, the pendulum arm has swung upward and come to rest momentarily at a height h above its initial position. Prove that the ratio of the kinetic energy of the projectile–pendulum system immediately after the collision to the kinetic energy immediately before is m1/(m1 + m2). (b) What is the ratio of the momentum of the system immediately after the collision to the momentum immediately before? (c) A student believes that such a large decrease in mechanical energy must be accompanied by at least a small decrease in momentum. How would you convince this student of the truth?
