A thrill-seeking cat with mass 4.00 kg is attached by aharnass to an ideal spring of negligible mass and oscillatesvertically in SHM (simple harmonic motion). The amplitude is 0.050m, and at the highest point of the motion the spring has itsnatural unstretched length. Calculate the elastic potential energyof the spring (take it to be zero for the unstretched string), thekinetic energy of the cat, the gravitational potential energy ofthe system relative to the lowest point of the motion, and the sumof these three energies when the cat is:
a) at its highest point
b) at its lowest point
c) at its equilibrium position.
The answer in the back of the book is given as:
(a) 0, 0, 3.9 J, 3.9J
(b) 3.9 J, 0, 0, 3.9 J
(c) 0.98 J, 0.98 J, 2.0 J, 3.9 J
Please, can someone help me witharriving at this solution?

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. she watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. take "north" and "up" as the positive ‑ and ‑directions, respectively, and use ≈10 m/s2 for the downward acceleration due to gravity.
