A ball with a mass of #256 g# is projected vertically by a spring loaded contraption. The spring in the contraption has a spring constant of #36 (kg)/s^2# and was compressed by #12/4 m# when the ball was released. How high will the ball go?
The maximum altitude of the ball is
This can be solved using energy conservation,
When the ball reaches its maximum altitude, all of the kinetic energy has been transformed into gravitational potential energy as the ball momentarily comes to a stop before falling back toward the earth. In other words, all of the spring potential energy stored in the spring initially is converted into gravitational potential energy stored in the ball at its maximum altitude. This gives us:

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- Why would you use a single fixed pulley to lift a box if the mechanical advantage of the pulley is 1?
- A lever is used to lift a heavy load. When a 52 N force pushes the left end of the lever down 0.71 m, the load rises 0.3m. If the lever is only 78% efficient, what would be the weight of the load it could lift with this output?

- A ball with a mass of #400 g# is projected vertically by a spring loaded contraption. The spring in the contraption has a spring constant of #25 (kg)/s^2# and was compressed by #3/7 m# when the ball was released. How high will the ball go?
- A spring with a constant of #7 (kg)/(s^2)# is lying on the ground with one end attached to a wall. An object with a mass of #5 kg # and speed of # 7 m/s# collides with and compresses the spring until it stops moving. How much will the spring compress?
