Worksheet #1

CQ1 – spring pot’l energy ?

A spring-loaded toy dart gun is used to shoot a dart straight upin the air, and the dart reaches a maximum height of 24 m.Thesame dart is shot straight up a second time from the same gun,but this time the spring is compressed only half as far beforefiring. How far up does the dart go this time, neglecting frictionand assuming an ideal spring?

Now recall that our definition of work is

This expression, however, is just that of ascalar product between the force vector andthe displacement vector!

To make our life simpler, we’re going to usethe angular unit of measure known as theradian when discussing the motion of objectsin circular arcs.

• Notice that the ratio s/r varieslinearly with the size of theangle θ.

For an object movingin a circle with a constantlinear speed (a constantangular velocity), theinstantaneous velocityvectors are always tangentto the circle of motion.

The magnitude of the tangential velocity can befound from our relationship of arc length to angle...
