The brothers of iota eta pi fraternity build a platform, supported at all four corners by vertical springs, in the basement of their frat house. a brave fraternity brother wearing a football helmet stands in the middle of the platform; his weight compresses the springs by a distance 0.16m . then four of his fraternity brothers, pushing down at the corners of the platform, compress the springs another distance 0.57m until the top of the brave brother's helmet is a distance 0.80m below the basement ceiling. they then simultaneously release the platform. you can ignore the masses of the springs and platform.
a) when the dust clears, the fraternity asks you to calculate their fraternity brother's speed just before his helmet hit the flimsy ceiling.
b) without the ceiling, how high would he have gone?
c) in discussing their probation, the dean of students suggests that the next time they try this, they do it outdoors on another planet. would the answer to part (b) be the same if this stunt were performed on a planet with a different value of g ? assume that the fraternity brothers push the platform down 0.57m as before. (yes/no)
d) explain your reasoning.

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

Acarpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 2.9 cm thick on the outside and a layer of styrofoam insulation 2.3 cm thick on the inside wall surface. the wood has k=0.080w/(m⋅k), and the styrofoam has k= 0.010 w/(m⋅k). the interior surface temperature is 19.0 ∘c , and the exterior surface temperature is -15.0 ∘c . a.)what is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the styrofoam? celsius b.)what is the rate of heat flow per square meter through this wall? /m^2
