Ch 10: Interactions and Potential Energy
Chapter 10, Problem 10
A 50 g ice cube can slide up and down a frictionless 30° slope. At the bottom, a spring with spring constant 25 N/m is compressed 10 cm and used to launch the ice cube up the slope. How high does it go above its starting point?

Textbook Question
A 50 g mass is attached to a light, rigid, 75-cm-long rod. The other end of the rod is pivoted so that the mass can rotate in a vertical circle. What speed does the mass need at the bottom of the circle to barely make it over the top of the circle?

Textbook Question
Two blocks with masses mA and mB are connected by a massless
string over a massless, frictionless pulley. Block B, which is
more massive than block A, is released from height h and falls.
a. Write an expression for the speed of the blocks just as block
B reaches the ground.

Two blocks with masses mA and mB are connected by a massless
string over a massless, frictionless pulley. Block B, which is
more massive than block A, is released from height h and falls. b. A 1.0 kg block and a 2.0 kg block are connected by a massless
string over a massless, frictionless pulley. The impact speed
of the heavier block, after falling, is 1.8 m/s. From how high
did it fall?

Textbook Question
The spring shown in FIGURE P10.54 is compressed 50 cm and used to launch a 100 kg physics student. The track is frictionless until it starts up the incline. The student's coefficient of kinetic friction on the 30° incline is 0.15.
a. What is the student's speed just after losing contact with the spring?
