1. An electric motor that can develop 1.0-hp is used to lift a mass of 25kg through a distance (height) of 10-m. What is the minimum time in
which it can do this?
2. A mass of 750-g is released from
rest slides down a frictionless
track of height 55.2 cm, at the
bottom of the track the block
slides freely along a horizontal
table until it hits a spring attached
a heavy, immovable wall. The
spring compresses by 2.64 cm at
maximum compression (see
figure). What is the force constant (k) of the spring?

3. Two battling robots sliding on a frictionless surface. Robot A, with

mass 20 kg, initially moves south, 2.0 m/s parallel to the y-axis. It
collides with robot B, which has a mass 12kg and is initially at rest.
After the collision, robot A is moving at a certain velocity, while robot
B is moving at a final velocity 2.1 m/s, 24 below the +x-axis. Find
the final velocity of robot A.
4. A rubber ball ( = 0.875) is dropped towards the level floor. If its 4th
bounce (re-bound) height is 10.25 m, what was the original drop
height?
