Mark for Review A ball of mass m is loaded into a launcher with a spring of spring constant k. The ball is pushed down until it is at a vertical position y=0, and the spring is compressed a distance ΔL, as shown. The ball is then released from rest. Immediately after leaving the launcher, the x - and y-components of the ball's velocity are vx and vy, respectively. The ball reaches a maximum height of ymax and lands a horizontal distance Δx away from its initial position. Energy losses due to friction are negligible. Which of the following is a correct conservation of energy equation that compares the total mechanical energy of the ball-spring-Earth system immediately before the ball is launched to the total mechanical energy of the ball-spring-Earth system the moment the ball reaches its maximum height?

Note: Figure not drawn to scale. A fan is attached to the top of a block, as shown. The block is released from rest at the top of a ramp and the fan exerts a constant force on the block opposite the block's direction of motion. The block slides a distance D1 along the ramp and then transitions to a horizontal surface, eventually coming to rest momentarily after traveling a distance D2. Frictional forces are negligible. Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between D2 and D1? (A) D2 must be less than D1.

27. Astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless. This means that a clever method of measuring the mass of astronauts is needed to monitor their mass gains or losses, and adjust their diet. One way to do this is to exert a known force on an astronaut and measure the acceleration produced. Suppose a net external force of 50.0 N is exerted, and an astronaut's acceleration is measured to be 0.893m/s2. (a) Calculate her mass. (b) By exerting a force on the astronaut, the vehicle in which she orbits experiences an equal and opposite force. Use this knowledge to find an equation for the acceleration of the system (astronaut and spaceship) that would be measured by a nearby observer. (c) Discuss how this would affect the measurement of the astronaut's acceleration. Propose a method by which recoil of the vehicle is avoided.

Assume that the mass of the system is 2.10×103kg, the thrust T is 2.40×104N, and the force of friction opposing the motion is 650.0 N . (b) Why is the acceleration not onefourth of what it is with all rockets burning?
2. Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts a force of 75.0 N , the second exerts a force of 90.0 N , friction is 12.0 N , and the mass of the third child plus wagon is 23.0 kg . (a) What is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated? (See the free-body diagram.) (b) Calculate the acceleration. (c) What would the acceleration be if friction were 15.0 N ?
