A pendulum is formed from a small ball of mass \(m\) on a string of length \(L\). As Figure CP10.68 shows, a peg is height \(h = L/3\) above the pendulum’s lowest point. From what minimum angle \(theta\0 must the pendulum be released in order for the ball to go over the top of the peg without the string going slack? ________________ Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: m L h = L/3 theta

It’s your birthday, and to celebrate you’re going to make your first bungee jump. You stand on a bridge 100 m above a raging river and attach a 30-m-long bungee cord to your harness. A bungee cord, for practical purposes, is just a long spring, and this cord has a spring constant of 40 N/m. Assume that your mass is 80 kg. After a long hesitation, you dive off the bridge. How far are you above the water when the cord reaches its maximum elongation?

A \(10 \ kg\) box slides \(4.0 \ m\) down the frictionless ramp shown in Figure CP10.71, then collides with a spring whose spring constant is \(250 \ N/m\). a. What is the maximum compression of the spring? b. At what compression of the spring does the box have its maximum speed? Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: 10 kg 4.0 m 250 N/m

Problem 69CP In a physics lab experiment, a compressed spring launches a 20 g metal ball at a 30° angle. Compressing the spring 20 cm causes the ball to hit the floor 1.5 m below the point at which it leaves the spring after traveling 5.0 m horizontally. What is the spring constant?

Problem 72CP Old naval ships fired 10 kg cannon balls from a 200 kg cannon. It was very important to stop the recoil of the cannon, since otherwise the heavy cannon would go careening across the deck of the ship. In one design, a large spring with spring constant 20,000 N/m was placed behind the cannon. The other end of the spring braced against a post that was firmly anchored to the ship’s frame. What was the speed of the cannon ball if the spring compressed 50 cm when the cannon was fired?

Problem 73CP A 2.0 kg cart has a spring with k = 5000 N/m attached to its front, parallel to the ground. This cart rolls at 4.0 m/s toward a stationary 1.0 kg cart. a. What is the maximum compression of the spring during the collision? ________________ b. What is the speed of each cart after the collision?

The air-track carts in Figure CP10.74 are sliding to the right at \(1.0 m/s\). The spring between them has a spring constant of 120 N/m and is compressed \(4.0 cm\). The carts slide past a flame that burns through the string holding them together. Afterward, what are the speed and direction of each cart? ________________ Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: 1.0 m/s 4.0 cm

Problem 75CP A 100 g steel ball and a 200 g steel ball each hang from 1.0-m-long strings. At rest, the balls hang side by side, barely touching. The 100 g ball is pulled to the left until the angle between its string and vertical is 45°. The 200 g ball is pulled to a 45° angle on the right. The balls are released so as to collide at the very bottom of their swings. To what angle does each ball rebound?

A sled starts from rest at the top of the frictionless, hemispherical, snow-covered hill shown in Figure CP10.76. a. Find an expression for the sled's speed when it is at angle \(\phi\). b. Use Newton's laws to find the maximum speed the sled can have at angle \(\phi\) without leaving the surface. c. At what angle \(\phi_{\max }\) does the sled "fly off" the hill? ________________ Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: phi phi phi_max

Problem 1CQ Upon what basic quantity does kinetic energy depend? Upon what basic quantity does potential energy depend?

Problem 1E Which has the larger kinetic energy, a 10 g bullet fired at 500 m/s or a 10 kg bowling ball sliding at 10 m/s?

Problem 2CQ Can kinetic energy ever be negative? Can gravitational potential energy ever be negative? For each, give a plausible reason for your answer without making use of any equations.

Problem 2E The lowest point in Death Valley is 85 m below sea level. The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m. What is the change in potential energy of an energetic 65 kg hiker who makes it from the floor of Death Valley to the top of Mt. Whitney?

Problem 5E A boy reaches out of a window and tosses a ball straight up with a speed of 10 m/s. The ball is 20 m above the ground as he releases it. Use conservation of energy to find a. The ball’s maximum height above the ground. b. The ball’s speed as it passes the window on its way down. c. The speed of impact on the ground.
