Conservation of Energy Practice Problems

Type:

Description:

Physics I Practice Problems 8 through 10, 12 through 14, 17, 19, and 20 (solutions not included) cover defining a mass-spring system such that energy is conserved; defining a system of a falling ball such that energy is conserved; energy and work with respect to a ball lifted at constant velocity; energy and work with respect to a ball lifted at constant velocity and the earth; work done on a system of a cup of water and the earth; work done on a system of a falling ball and the earth; compression of a spring resulting from collision with a moving object; the conversion of the kinetic energy of the earth-sun system to potential energy; and work done on a ball launched vertically by a spring.<p/> <b><p>This resource is part of the <a href="http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Coll_MIT/MITOpenCourseWare-APPhysics-WorkEnergyPower"> MIT OpenCourseWare - AP Physics - Work, Energy, Power</a> collection.</p></b> <p> Course: 8.01T Physics I, Fall 2004</p><p>Instructors: Dr. Peter Dourmashkin, Prof. J.
