You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 10-m-high hill, then descends 15 m to the track's lowest point. You've determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum of 2.2 m and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 450 kg . For safety reasons, the spring constant should be 15 % larger than the minimum needed for the car to just make it over the top. a) what spring constant (k) should you specify ?
b) What is the maximum speed of a 400 kg car if the spring iscompressed the full amount.

Arocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. for the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by ay = 12.80 m/s32t, where the +y-direction is upward. (a) what is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s? b) what is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?

The great sandini is a 60.0-kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). you don’t find many men of his caliber, so you him design a new gun. this new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1100 n/m that he will compress with a force of 4400 n. the inside of the gun barrel is coated with teflon, so the average friction force will be only 40.0 n during the 4.00 m he moves in the barrel. at what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.50 m above his initial rest position?
