A 52.0 kg diver jumps off a diving board with an upward velocity of 1.7 m/s. The diving board bounces off a spring with a spring constant of 4100 N/m. Ignore her horizontal velocity. How far did the diver compress the spring in order to achieve her initial upward velocity?

The atoms in a nickel crystal vibrate as harmonic oscillators with an angular frequency of 2.3 × 1013 rad/s. the mass of a nickel atom is 9.75 × 10-26 kg. what is the difference in energy between adjacent vibrational energy levels of nickel? (h = 6.626 × 10-34 j • s, , 1 ev = 1.60 × 10-19 j)
