Write an equation for the total energy of a system consisting of a mass suspended vertically from a spring, and include the Earth in the system. Place the origin for gravitational energy at the equilibrium position of the mass and show that the changes in energy of a vertical spring-mass system are the same as the changes in energy of a horizontal spring-mass system.
Describe a situation in which it would be appropriate to neglect the effects of air resistance.
You drop a single coffee filter of mass 1.7 g from a very tall building, and it takes 52 s to reach the ground. In a small fraction of that time the coffee filter reached terminal speed. (a) What was the upward force of the air resistance while the coffee filter was falling at terminal speed? (b) Next you drop a stack of five of these coffee filters. What was the upward force of the air resistance while this stack of coffee filters was falling at terminal speed? (c) Again assuming that the stack reaches terminal speed very quickly, about how long will the stack of coffee filters take to hit the ground?
Niagara Falls is about 50m high. What is the temperature rise in kelvins of the water from just before to just after it hits the rocks at the bottom of the falls, assuming negligible air resistance during the fall and that the water doesn't rebound but just splats onto the rock? It is helpful (but not essential) to consider a 1g drop of water.
A coffee filter of mass 1.8kgdropped from a height of 4mreaches the ground with a speed of 0.8m/s. How much kinetic energydid the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter? Start from the Energy principle, and choose as the system the coffee filter, the Earth and the air.
