A 3.05-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 2.75 m with a speed of 5.01 m/s onto a spring with k = 1750 N/m. The clay compresses the spring a certain maximum amount before momentarily stopping. What is the total work done on the clay during the spring's compression? Also, how would one go about solving for that?

Using Java compare how many swaps it takes a 1000 element array of integers. Use both quick-sort and heap sort. Only count when you swap values. Run the test in best case (array starts in sorted order), average case (array starts in random order), and in worst case array is sorted in reverse order. Print out the number of swaps for each sorting method's results.

Data on pull-off force (pounds) for connectors used in an automobile engine application are as follows: 79.7 75.1 78.2 74.1 73.9 75.0 77.6 77.3 73.8 74.6 75.5 74.0 74.7 75.9 72.5 73.8 74.2 78.1 75.4 76.3 75.3 76.2 74.9 78.0 75.1 76.8 If necessary, round all intermediate calculations to four decimal places (e.g. 12.3456). (a) Calculate a point estimate of the mean pull-off force of all connectors in the population (Round the answer to four decimal places (e.g. 90.2353).) (b) Calculate a point estimate of the pull-off force value that separates the weakest 50% of the connectors in the population from the strongest 50% (Express the answer to two decimal place (e.g. 90.15).) (c) Calculate the point estimate of the population variance (Round the answer to three decimal places (e.g. 3.567).) (d) Calculate the point estimate of the population standard deviation (Round the answer to two decimal places (e.g. 1.23).) (e) Calculate the standard error of the point estimate found in part (a) (Round the answer to two decimal places (e.g. 1.23).) (f) Calculate a point estimate of the proportion of all connectors in the population whose pull-off force is less than 73 pounds (Round the answer to three decimal places (e.g. 0.123).)
