A 263 g ball of clay falls onto a vertical spring. The spring constant k = 2.52 N/cm.

The clay sticks to the spring and as the spring compresses a distance of 11.8 cm the clay momentarily comes to rest.
Determine the speed of the clay just before it hit the spring in [m/s]?

Aforce of 9.00 newtons acts at an angle of 19.0 to the horizontal. what is its component in the horizontal direction?

Ahot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant speed of 5.00 m/s releases a sandbag at the instant the balloon is 40.0 m above the ground. after it is released, the sandbag encounters no appreciable air drag. compute the velocity of the sandbag at 0.250 s after its release.

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?
