A tennis shoe is stuck against the inside of a washing-machine drum. The radius of the drum is 0.5 m.

The mass of one block is 0.5 kg and that of the other is 1.0 kg. They are originally pushed together, compressing a spring that is between them but not attached to either. When released from rest, the spring pushes them apart and then loses contact as the masses slide away. If the initial energy stored in the spring is 25 J, the final speed v of the smaller mass is?

A 30 m long tube is placed upright in a large pond with one end a few cm underwater. The tube is then evaculated, that is, all the air is removed from it.
