Not only did Skid get shot out of a cannon when he was a clown in the circus, but he was also launched into the air by a vertically compressed spring. Skid of 55 kg is standing on a massless platform attached to a spring of constant 8700 N/m that is compressed 125 cm. Skid is launched from rest. He eventually leaves the platform and reaches a peak high above the platform. (a) What is the velocity of Skid when he leaves the platform

v = 16.11 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the principle of conservation of energy. We set a reference system on the part of the platform without elongation

starting point. When the spring is compressed

        Em₀ = K_e + U = ½ k x² + m g x ’

final point. The point where it leaves the platform

        Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ k x² + m g x ’= ½ m v²

         v² =  x² + g x

let's calculate

         v² =  1.25² + 9.8 1.25

         v² = 247.159 + 12.25 = 259.409

         v = 16.11 m / s
