A spring with spring constant 40 N/m is compressed 0.1 m past its natural length. A mass of 0.5 kg is attached to the spring.

a. What is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring? (1 point)

b. The spring is released. What is the speed of the mass as it reaches the natural length of the spring? (1 point)

Jackson is designing a new heater, and he wants to experiment with different thermally conductive materials. which of these materials would be useful in conducting heat?

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.

The motor m applies a time-varying force of f (200 t) n, where t is in seconds. box b with mass 200 kg starts from rest, and the coefficients of kinetic and static friction are 0.2 and us 0.3 the acceleration due to gravity is g 9.8 m/s2 b 300 a) find the time ' when the box starts to move. b) calculate the speed of the crate at 3 s c) calculate the power delivered by the motor at t 3 s
