A package of mass 5 kg sits at the equator of an airless asteroid of mass 3.0 x 1020 kg and radius 6.3 x 105 m. We want to launch the package in such a way that it will never come back, and when it is very far from the asteroid it will be traveling with speed 237 m/s. We have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 1.8 x 105 N/m. How much must we compress the spring? |compression| (a positive number) = m

5. A 60 kg circus performer is swinging from a trapeze bar.A: She is 10 m off the ground with a speed v1. The spring-board platform below her is atits equilibrium length.B: She lets go of the trapeze bar and lands on th spring-board platform, which compresseswhen she lands on it. When she is stationary, she is 2 m off the ground and the springis maximally compressed.C: The spring-board extends and launches her back into the air. As soon as the spring istotally relaxed again, the performer is 3 m off the ground and has a speed v2.D: The performer lands on a platform 10 m above the floor, and she stands stationary. a. Her initial speed v1 = 10 m/s. What is her total energy at point A? b. Between points A and B, assume none of her energy is lost to heat or friction. Whenshe is stationary on the compressed platform at B, how much energy is stored in thespring-board platform? c. When the spring-board platform is fully released at point C, what must her speed v2 be?

As we shall see in Example 3.10, w= Vg/l is the oscilla- tion frequency, in radians per second, of a simple pendulum of length I. If the rotation frequency is less than this value, the pendulum can hang vertically. (It could also swing back and forth, executing pendulum mo- tion.) However, for a rotation frequency higher than the pendulum fre- quency, the pendulum will fly outward, unless it is precisely vertical. Can you see why this is so? motion suddenly has two solutions, has some special The moral of this example is that it is important to check that a mathe- matical solution makes good physical sense.
