Two people are standing on a 3.19-m-long platform, one at each end. The platform floats parallel to the ground on a cushion of air, like a hovercraft. The two people, the platform and a 3.16-kg ball are all initially at rest. One person throws the 3.16-kg ball to the other, who catches it. The ball travels nearly horizontally. Excluding the ball, the total mass of the platform and people is 194 kg. Because of the throw, this 194-kg mass recoils. How far does the platform move before coming to rest again?

A block of mass 35 kg. is sitting on a platform. The platform sitson a spring with k=2000 N/m. The mass is initially at rest.
a) If the platform is depressed a distance of 0.50 meters and heldthere, what is the mechanical energy of the system?
b) The platform is then released and the mass moves upward andeventually flies off the platform. Assume the spring returns to itsrelaxed state (unstretched and uncompressed) after the mass leavesthe platform. What are the kinetic energy, the gravitational pointenergy and the elastic potential energy of the system when the massreaches it's highest point?
c) How high will the block go? (Measure this distance from theheight of the uncompressed platform)
