The string in the figure is L = 112 cm long, has a ball attached to one end, and is fixed at its other end. The distance d from the fixed end to a fixed peg at point P is 87 cm. When the initially stationary ball is released with the string horizontal as shown, it will swing along the dashed arc. What is its speed when it reaches (a) its lowest point and (b) its highest point after the string catches on the peg? L
A 50.0-g object is placed against the free end of a spring (k = 24.5 N/m) that is compressed 21.0 cm. Once released, LO000 the object slides a distance di = 1.55 m across the tabletop and eventually lands dz = 2.10 m from the edge of the table on the floor, as shown in the figure. The sliding distance on the tabletop includes the 21.0-cm compression of the spring, and the tabletop is h 1.00 m above the floor level. h Determine whether or not there is friction between the object and the table. If there is, determine the value of the kinetic friction coefficient . If there is not, enter 0.

Hello, can you solve the first 3 parts? Thank you!
A 10.0 kg block is released from point A in the figure. The track is frictionless except for the portion BC, of length 14 m. 10.0 kg 3.00 m B C k mmmmmm plz help and use g = 9.8 The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant k = 1,631 N/m, and compresses it 0.1 m from its equilibrium position as it comes to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between surface BC and the block. Express your answer to at least two digits after the decimal point.
