One end of a spring is attached to a solid wall while the other end just reaches to the edge of a horizontal, frictionless tabletop, which is a distance \(h\) above the floor. A block of mass \(M\) is placed against the end of the spring and pushed toward the wall until the spring has been compressed a distance \(x\). The block is released and strikes the floor a horizontal distance \(D\) from the edge of the table. Air resistance is negligible. Derive expressions for the following quantities only in terms of \(M, x, D, h,\) and any constants.
A theme park ride consists of a large vertical wheel of radius \( R \) that rotates counterclockwise on a horizontal axle through its center. The cars on the wheel move at a constant speed \( v \). Points \( A \) and \( D \) represent the position of a car at the highest and lowest point of the ride, respectively. While passing point \( A \), a student releases a small rock of mass \( m \), which falls to the ground without hitting anything. Which of the following best represents the kinetic energy of the rock when it is at the same height as point \( D \)?
3 clay balls, labeled A, B, and C are launched from the same height at the same speed as shown above. A is launched at \( 30^\circ \) above horizontal, B is launched horizontally, and C is launched \( 30^\circ \) below the horizontal. They all hit the wall (before reaching the ground) in times \( t_A \), \( t_B \), and \( t_C \) respectively. Rank these times from least to greatest.
Using only work and energy, find the velocity of the masses after they have traveled \(0.8 \, \text{m}\). Refer to the image above.
A ladder is leaning against a wall at an angle. Which of the following forces must have the same magnitude as the frictional force exerted on the ladder by the floor?

A train consists of \(50\) cars, each of which has a mass of \(6.1 \times 10^{3} \, \text{kg}\). The train has an acceleration of \(8.0 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m/s}^2\). Ignore friction and determine the tension in the coupling at the following places:

Three students are pulling on a bag of skittles. Each is pulling with a horizontal force. If student 1 pulls Eastward with [katex]170 \, \text{N}[/katex], student 2 pulls Southward with [katex]100 \, \text{N}[/katex] and student 3 pulls with [katex]200 \, \text{N}[/katex] at an angle of [katex]20^\circ [/katex] west of north, what is the net force caused by the three students on the bag of skittles?
A block is given a brief push so that it slides up a ramp. After the block reaches its highest point, it slides back down, but the magnitude of its acceleration is less on the descent than on the ascent. Why?
An object is experiencing a nonzero net force. Which of the following statements is most accurate?
Two balls are launched at the same speed. Ball A is launched at an angle of \( 45^{\circ} \) and Ball B is launched at an angle of \( 60^{\circ} \). Which one reaches a higher point?
Three identical rocks are launched with identical speeds from the top of a platform of height \( h_0 \).
Which of the following correctly relates the magnitude \( v_y \) of the vertical component of the velocity of each rock immediately before it hits the ground?
A crate is pulled 2.5 m at constant velocity along a 25° incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the plane is 0.250. What is the efficiency of this procedure?
You drop a rock off a bridge. When the rock has fallen \( 4 \) \( \text{m} \), you drop a second rock. As the two rocks continue to fall, what happens to their velocities?
Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diameter \(8.0 \, \text{m}\). The room is spinning horizontally about an axis through its center at a rate of \(45 \, \text{rev/min}\) when the floor drops so that it no longer provides any support for the riders. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rider required so that the rider does not slide down the wall?
The coefficient of static friction between hard rubber and normal street pavement is about \(0.85\). On how steep a hill (maximum angle) can you leave a car parked?
A \( 4 \)-\( \text{kg} \) ball and a \( 1 \)-\( \text{kg} \) ball are positioned a distance \( L \) apart on a bar of negligible mass. How far from the \( 4 \)-\( \text{kg} \) mass should the fulcrum be placed to balance the bar?
A man weighing \( 700 \) \( \text{N} \) and a woman weighing \( 400 \) \( \text{N} \) have the same momentum. What is the ratio of the man’s kinetic energy \( K_m \) to that of the woman \( K_w \)?
Two boxes are tied together by a string and are sitting at rest on a frictionless surface. Between the two boxes is a massless compressed spring. The string trying the two boxes is then cut and the spring expands, pushing the boxes apart. The box on the left has four times the mass of the box on the right.
A rubber ball and a piece of clay have equal masses. They are dropped from the same height on horizontal steel platform. The ball bounces back with nearly the same speed with which it hit. The clay sticks to the platform. Choose all that is true about the ball/platform and the clay/platform systems.
