A 1kg ring with a radius of 10 cm rolls down a board inclined at 30 degrees from a height of 4 meter. At the bottom of the inclined, n a frictionless table fits a 3-kg block. After coming off of the incline, the ring slides (without rolling) until colliding and coupling with the block. The ring-block system then continues to move and flies off the edge of the 1.5 meter high table. What is the velocity of the ring-block system after the collision?

Write the particular time dependent solution of the undamped harmonic oscillator given that at time t=0, the spring is initially at its equilibrium with an initial velocity v_0 and identify each term in the expression. Also, write the form of the time dependent velocity and show that it obeys the initial conditions.

For the calculations below, note that the Moon's mass is about 1/80th of the Earth's, so the total mass of the Earth-Moon system is essentially the Earth's mass.
(a) Once the Earth is in synchronous rotation with the Moon's orbit, what will be the semimajor axis (in km) of the Moon's orbit? Will it be inside or outside the Earth's Hill sphere?
(b) How large (in angular diameter) will the Moon appear in the Earth's sky once it's in synchronous orbit?

An object with mass 70 kg moved in outer space. When it was at location <7, -35, -5> its speed was 5.0 m/s. A single constant force <210, 400, -150> N acted on the object while the object moved from location <7, -35, -5> m to location <11, -27, -8> m. Then a different single constant force <140, 250, 210> N acted on the object while the object moved from location <11, -27, -8> m to location <17, -31, -3> m. What is the speed of the object at this final location?
