5: A skier, m = 65 kg, glides on a perfect hill, 10 m high, no friction. However, at the bottom is a spring, k = 1500 N/m , system to stop the skier. A silly technique I will grant you. The spring is not perfect, it loses 800 J of energy every time the spring fully compresses or extends. Now we will have to assume the spring never extends past its equilibrium position.

An object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 32.1 m/s. When the object reaches it maximum height, it is true of the acceleration, a, and the velocity, v, that: both its acceleration and velocity are zero both its acceleration and velocity change sign velocity is equal to zero, but acceleration is not acceleration is equal to zero, but velocity is not None of the above. Please help. Only one answer is true. Please give reason why.

A rocket is fired vertically upward. At the instant it reaches an altitude of 1450 m and a speed of 265 m/s, it explodes into three equal fragments. One fragment continues to move upward with a speed of 292 m/s following the explosion. The second fragment has a speed of 396 m/s and is moving east right after the explosion. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the third fragment? Answer in units of m/s

An automobile is traveling on a long, straight highway at a steady 75.0 m/h when the driver sees a wreck 170 m ahead. At that instant, she applies the brakes (ignore reaction time). Between her and the wreck are two different surfaces. First there is 140 m of ice, where the deceleration is only 1.20 m/s^2 . From then on, it is dry concrete, where the deceleration is a more normal 7.90 m/s^2 . What was the car’s speed just...
