A spring gun shoots out a plastic ball at speed ν. The spring is then compressed twice the distance it was on the first shot.a. By what factor is the spring’s potential energy increased?b. By what factor is the ball’s speed increased? Explain.
There is a 3.53 kg box at three points in time. Initial the box is at rest compressed 0.54 meters against a spring with a spring constant of 763 N/m.A. How much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring while it is compressed? ________JoulesB.The spring is realized and we see that the box is moving to the right in time 2. If all of the elastic potential energy got converted to kinetic energy how fast is the box moving at this point in time? __________ m/sC. The box then goes over a ramp that shoots it straight up. If we assume all of the energy went into gravitational potential energy at the object's max height what is the max height achieved by the object? _________meters
A 1.15 kg mass is attached to a 1.86 m string that is anchored to the ceiling. The mass is pulled back to an initial angle of theta = 65.1 degrees and released from rest.
(a) How fast is the ball moving at the bottom of its swing — the position indicated in the figure?
(b) What is the tension in the string at the bottom of the swing — the position indicated in the figure?
