26. A 6 kg ball is pressed against a spring with a k value of 23 N/m,
compressing it by 0.5 m. The spring is horizontal with a ledge. The
length of the spring in its resting position equals the length of the
ledge. The ledge is 15 m above the ground.
a. (__/2) What is the elastic potential energy initially? 15 m
2.9 J, straight definition

Ground

b. (__/2) What is the gravitational potential energy when the ball leaves the spring?
883 J, straight definition

c. (__/1) What is the gravitational potential energy when the ball hits the ground?
0 J, the last sentence indicates the ground is the reference point
d. (__/4) Find the magnitude of the velocity vector when the ball hits the ground.
17.2 m/s, think of this as either a vector problem or projectile motion problem: the spring
gives it an x-velocity and gravity gives it a y-velocity
In the horizontal direction,

In the vertical direction,

e. (__/X) How far from the base of the ledge will the ball land? (think projectile motion)
1.72 m, This is all a projectile motion review problem: get the time from the y-equation and
multiply the x-velocity times the time to get the x-distance

27. A child pulls a 20.0 kg sled (on which a 4.0 kg box sits) Pull
from rest along a straight path on a level surface. The child
exerts a force of 60.0 N on the sled at an angle of 30° above 30°
the horizon as shown above. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between the sled and the surface is 0.22.
a. (__/2) On the diagram below, draw and label a free-body diagram for the system as it is pulled
along the surface.
Fp-y Fp or Fa
FN
Fp-x
Ff
Fg

b. (__/2) Calculate the normal force exerted on the sled.

205 N, no movement in the vertical direction, so forces are balanced. But, you have to
remember that the vertical component of the pull force makes the normal force less than the
weight. A good free-body diagram would tell you that.

c. (__/2) Calculate the acceleration of the sled.

0.286 m/s2 , just a horizontal Newton Second Law equation with friction (use computed FN)

d. (__/2) Calculate the net work done on the system as the sled moves a distance of 7.0 m.
48.0 J, the “net work” is the work done by the net force which is the same as in c.

e. (__/2) Determine the average power developed by the net force acting on the sled during the 7.0 m
pull.
6.86 W, power is work divided by time. Use the Wnet computed above, but you need to do
some kinematics to find the time. Take heart my little ones, it’s all review for the AP exam

28. A toy gun contains a spring of spring
constant k = 250.0 N/m. The spring is
initially compressed 4.0 cm (top diagram)
and then released to propel a bullet of mass
10.0 g horizontally. The bullet loses
contact with the spring the moment the
spring reaches its equilibrium position as
shown in the bottom diagram. Thereafter,
the bullet travels a distance d through the
barrel of the gun.
This one may be difficult because you
are so enchanted by my MS Shapes
artwork, but try to stay focused.

Oh, and watch your compatible units

in this one.
a. (__/2) Determine the amount of work done by the spring on the bullet in accelerating it to the
equilibrium position.
0.2 J, with the work-energy principle, work done by a spring is equal the energy of a spring

b. (__/2) Determine the ideal speed (i.e. no air resistance or friction) the bullet should have the
moment it is released from the spring at the equilibrium position.
6.3 m/s, conservation of energy: work/PE of the spring translates into KE of the bullet

c. (__/2) A student places a photogate assembly at the end of the barrel to measure the speed with
which the bullet exits the barrel and determines it to be 4.0 m/s after the bullet has travelled a
distance d = 12 cm. Assume that the student was not a member of Table 7 and that the photogate
was placed correctly (and no, we’re not changing seats today). Based on this information, calculate
the force of friction between the bullet and the inside of the gun’s barrel.
-0.998 N, the work done by friction (Ff x d) results in a change (decrease) in kinetic energy of the
bullet
