You are shopping for a replacement pinball launching spring. You want the pinball (80g mass and a 27cm diameter) to just reach the top of the table when you pull the spring back five centimeters. The pinball you are using is solid, stainless steel. The table’s length is 40cm and has a 7-degree slope.

A: What is the spring constant(k) for the required replacement spring?

B: If this spring is compressed 10 centimeters and the pinball rolls up the slope without slipping, what is the translational speed of the pinball when it is halfway up the table?

C: What would happen if the surface is frictionless and the ball doesn’t roll?

The launching mechanism of a popgun consists of a trigger-released spring. The spring is compressed to a position yA=-0.12m, and the trigger is fired. The projectile of mass m=35g rises to a position yC=20m above the position yB=0m at which it leaves the spring. 1-Neglecting all resistive forces, determine the spring constant. 2-Find the speed of the ball at height yB

You are bringing a spring pendulum (i.e. a mass attached to a spring) and a regular pendulum (think ball on a string) to the International Space Station. Because the ISS is in orbit around the Earth you (and everything else on board) experience apparent weightlessness. Under these conditions, which of the following statements is correct when you displace both pendulums from their respective equilibrium positions (ie try to make them oscillate): Group of answer choices The spring pendulum will oscillate....

An object with m1 = 5kg is attached to a spring of negligible mass. This mass/spring combination is then slid horizontally on a frictionless surface with a velocity of 5m/s towards a stationary object with m2 = 6kg. Upon impact, the spring compresses, then we examine two cases. First, find the velocities of the two objects assuming the spring completely relaxes again after the interaction. Second, assume that m2, after they separate, slides up a frictionless incline. (a) What is...
