I don't know why this was moved to the introductory physics forum. This problem involves multiple differential equations that must be solved with considerations of slipping and frictional forces included.

Homework Statement We have a collision between a finite mass steel ball and an infinite mass steel wall and must find the maximum compression if we are given the mass of the ball, the initial speed and the constant b (See eq. below). Homework Equations We know that the maximum...

This one is killing me. Homework Statement A SHO is resting on a horizontal surface with which it has static and kinetic friction coefficients us and uk . We have k for the spring constant and m for the mass. The surface is actually part of a conveyor belt that is maintained at a speed u...
