Conceptual Example 8.1: Reducing the Conservation of Energy
Equation in Specific Situations (1 of 4)

When using the energy conservation equation to solve a problem, the


following steps should be remembered:
(1) define the system
(2) identify the beginning and end of the time interval of interest
(3) identify initial and final configurations of the system (positions of objects in
gravitational situations, extensions of springs, etc.) and assign appropriate
reference values of potential energy
(4) write the energy conservation equation, eliminating or setting terms equal
to zero that do not apply in the situation

Example 8.3: A Grand Entrance (1 of 4)

You are part of the stage crew for a theatrical


company and are designing an apparatus to
support an actor of mass 65.0 kg who is to “fly”
down to the stage during the performance of a
play. You attach the actor’s harness to a 130-kg
sandbag by means of a lightweight steel cable
running smoothly over two frictionless pulleys as
in the figure. You need 3.00 m of cable between
the harness and the nearest pulley so that the
pulley can be hidden behind a curtain.

Example 8.3: A Grand Entrance (2 of 4)

For the apparatus to work successfully, the


sandbag must never lift above the floor as the
actor swings from above the stage to the floor.
Let us call the initial angle that the actor’s cable
makes with the vertical . What is the maximum
value  can have before the sandbag lifts off the
floor?

Example 8.4: The Spring-Loaded Popgun

The launching mechanism of a popgun consists


of a trigger-released spring. The spring is
compressed to a position yA, and the trigger is
fired. The projectile of mass m rises to a
position yC above the position at which it leaves
the spring, indicated in the figure as position yB
= 0. Consider a firing of the gun for which m =
35.0 g, yA = –0.120 m, and yC = 20.0 m.

(A) Neglecting all resistive forces, determine the


spring constant.

Example 8.7: Crate Sliding Down a Ramp (4 of 4)

A cautious worker decides that the speed of the crate when it arrives at the
bottom of the ramp may be so large that its contents may be damaged.
Therefore, he replaces the ramp with a longer one such that the new ramp
makes an angle of 25.0 with the ground. Does this new ramp reduce the
speed of the crate as it reaches the ground?

Example 8.8: Block-Spring Collision (1 of 4)

A block having a mass of 0.80 kg is given an


initial velocity vA = 1.2 m/s to the right and
collides with a spring whose mass is negligible
and whose force constant is k = 50 N/m as
shown in the figure.
(A) Assuming the surface to be frictionless,
calculate the maximum compression of the
spring after the collision.

(B) Suppose a constant force of kinetic friction acts between the block and the
surface, with k = 0.50. If the speed of the block at the moment it collides with
the spring is vA = 1.2 m/s, what is the maximum compression xC­ in the spring?

Example 8.9: Connected Blocks in Motion (1 of 2)

Two blocks are connected by a light string that


passes over a frictionless pulley as shown in
the figure. The block of mass m1 lies on a
horizontal surface and is connected to a spring
of force constant k. The system is released
from rest when the spring is unstretched. If the
hanging block of mass m2 falls a distance h
before coming to rest, calculate the coefficient
of kinetic friction between the block of mass m1
and the surface.
