A 1,710 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 9 m before contacting the beam, and it drives the beam 13 cm into the ground before coming to rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the amplitude of the average force (in N) the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest.

A 2,200-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.60 m before coming into contact with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 15.8 cm farther into the ground as it comes to rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest.

A dart gun has a spring with a constant of 875 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 5.5 cm. You fire a 0.075-kg dart from a height of 0 m. The dart hits a wall at a height of 1.5 m. Ignore air resistance. What is the initial potential energy of the spring? What is the speed of the dart just before it hits the wall? The dart then penetrates 0.5 cm into the wall before coming to rest. How...

A drill is used to spin a wheel that begins from rest for two seconds. Then while the wheel is still spinning, it is placed on the ground at the bottom of a hill. The idea is to find out how far up the hill the wheel will go. The drill exerts a force of 15-Nm, we'll assume that there is NO energy lost due to friction or air resistance. The wheel in question will be treated as a solid...
