2. A ball hits a smooth surface and rebounds with the same speed, as diagrammed below. The changes in the
components of the velocity of the ball are

(1) ∆vx > 0, ∆vy > 0 (2) ∆vx = 0, ∆vy > 0 (3) ∆vx < 0, ∆vy > 0 (4) ∆vx = 0, ∆vy = 0
3. A block of mass m placed on a smooth horizontal surface is attached to a spring and is held at rest by a force
P as shown. Suddenly the force P changes its direction opposite to the previous one. Find the ratio l2/l1,
where l2 is the maximum extension in the spring and l1 is the initial compression.
