A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.30-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.00 cm and has a force constant of 8.00 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.0 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 0 N on the ball. (a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? (b) At what point does the hall have maximum speed? (c) What is this maximum speed?

A car’s bumper is designed to withstand a 4.0-km/ h (1.1-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses 0.200 m while bringing a 900-kg car to rest from an initial speed of 1.1 m/s.
A 1.00-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P7.68a). The object has a speed of vi = 3.00 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Fig. P7.68b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Fig. P7.68c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Fig. P7.68d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the springs unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Fig. P7.68e). Find (a) the distance of compression d, (b) the speed v at the unstretched position when the object is moving to the left (Fig. P7.68d), and (c) the distance D where the object comes to rest.

An 80.0-kg skydiver jumps out of a balloon at an altitude of 1.00 103 m and opens the parachute at an altitude of 200.0 m. (a) Assuming that the total retarding force on the diver is constant at 50.0 N with the parachute closed and constant at 3.60 103 N with the parachute open, what is the speed of the diver when he lands on the ground? (b) Do you think the skydiver will get hurt? Explain. (c) At what height should the parachute be opened so that the final speed of the skydiver when he hits the ground is 5.00 m/s? (d) How realistic is the assumption that the total retarding force is constant? Explain.
Why is the following situation impossible? In a new casino, a supersized pinball machine is introduced. Casino advertising boasts that a professional basketball player can lie on top of the machine and his head and feet will not hang off the edge! The ball launcher in the machine sends metal balls up one side of the machine and then into play. The spring in the launcher (Fig. P6.60) has a force constant of 1.20 N/cm. The surface on which the ball moves is inclined = 10.0 with respect to the horizontal. The spring is initially compressed its maximum distance d = 5.00 cm. A ball of mass 100 g is projected into play by releasing the plunger. Casino visitors find the play of the giant machine quite exciting.
Two blocks, A and B (with mass 50.0 kg and 1.00 102 kg, respectively), are connected by a string, as shown in Figure P5.86. The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the incline is k = 0.250. Determine the change in the kinetic energy of block A as it moves from to , a distance of 20.0 m up the incline (and block B drops downward a distance of 20.0 m) if the system starts from rest. Figure P5.86
A frictionless plane is 10.0 m long and inclined at 35.0. A sled starts at the bottom with an initial speed of 5.00 m/s up the incline. When the sled reaches the point at which it momentarily stops, a second sled is released from the top of the incline with an initial speed vi. Both sleds reach the bottom of the incline at the same moment. (a) Determine the distance that the first sled traveled up the incline. (b) Determine the initial speed of the second sled.
