In a spring gun system, a spring with a spring force constant 420 N/mN/m  , is compressed 0.13 mm . When fired, 80.9 %% of the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is eventually converted into kinetic energy of a 6.10×10−2 kgkg uniform ball that is rolling without slipping at the base of a ramp. The ball continues to roll without slipping up the ramp with 89.6 %% of the kinetic energy at the bottom converted into an increase in gravitational potential energy at the instant it stops.

a)What is the velocity of the ball's center of mass at the base of the ramp?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

b)At this position, what is the velocity of a point at the top of the ball?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

c)At this position, what is the speed of a point at the bottom of the ball?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

d)What maximum vertical height up the ramp does the ball move?

Take the free fall acceleration to be 9.80m/s29.80m/s2. Express your answer using two significant figures.

The spring of a toy gun has a force constant of k = 533 N/m and negligible mass. The spring is compressed the length of the gun barrel, 7.25 cm, and a 0.168-g ball is placed against the compressed spring. A constant frictional force of 5.45-N acts on the ball as it travels through the barrel. The ball leaves the barrel at the moment that it loses contact with the spring. The toy gun is ‘fired’ at a height of...

A light spring of force constant 4.45 N/m is compressed by 8.00 cm and held between a 0.250 kg block on the left and a 0.450 kg block on the right. Both blocks are at rest on a horizontal surface. The blocks are released simultaneously so that the spring tends to push them apart. Find the maximum velocity each block attains if the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is the following. In each case, assume...

A spring with force constant k = 175 N/m is attached to the ground. On top of the spring a 1.30 kg metal pan is attached. The combination could be used as a scale, but we are going to do something more interesting. We place a metal ball with mass 0.250 kg on the tray and then the tray is pushed down 0.150 m below its equilibrium point and released from rest (take this as t = 0). a) At...
