1.
You throw a 50kg ball upwards at 25m/s. The ball strikes the
beginning of the spring when it's 8 meters in the air, then it
begins to compress the spring. How far did the spring compress? The
spring constant is 300 Newton/meter.
Also, if the spring was not there, how far would have it gone up
(set the final velocity to zero)?
2.
You see a teeter-todder again. It's horizontal (balanced). A 100kg
person sits 4 meters to the right, and a 30kg person sits 8 meters
to the left (of the pivot). On what side, and where, must a 69kg
person sit for it to balance? And what force must the ground push
up on the tetter-todder, in order for it to not fall down (find the
ground's normal force)?
