A ball of mass, m is thrown straight up and rises h after leaving your hand, it momentarily stops. Acceleration due to gravity g is downward. Ignore air resistance.

Part A (5 points): If the ball is the system, and the Earth is the surroundings, what is the change in potential energy, ΔUsys of the system, and what is the work done, Wsurr by the surroundings ?

Δ Usys = 0; Wsurr = -mgh

Δ Usys = mgh; Wsurr = -mgh

Δ Usys = mgh; Wsurr = 0

Δ Usys = 0; Wsurr = 0

Δ Usys = -mgh; Wsurr = 0

Part B: If the ball + Earth is the system, and nothing is in the surroundings, what is the change in potential energy, ΔUsys of the system, and what is the work done, Wsurr by the surroundings ?

Δ Usys = 0; Wsurr = 0

Δ Usys = mgh; Wsurr = -mgh

Δ Usys = mgh; Wsurr = 0

Δ Usys = 0; Wsurr = -mgh

Δ Usys = -mgh; Wsurr = 0

A ball of unknown mass m is tossed straight up with initial speed v. At the moment it is released, the ball is a height h above a spring-mounted platform, as shown in the figure below. The ball rises, peaks, and falls back toward the platform, ultimately compressing the spring a maximum distance d from its relaxed position. Assume that the spring is perfectly ideal with spring constant k, and that the mass of the spring and platform is negligible....
