a) How much does the spring get compressed by the block with respect to its equilibrium length? Please answer with a positive number in units of metres, with 3 sig figs. Start with conservation of energy: Er = E + WNc , and show all steps. b) What is the potential energy stored by the spring when the mass comes to a stop? Please show the symbolic equation and then "plug in the numbers" to give a numerical answer in units of joules with 3 sig figs. c) What happens to the potential energy stored in the spring after the block stops moving to the right? (no calculation required]

Find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the block, (b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and plane, (c) the friction force acting on the block, and (d) the speed of the block after it has slid 2.00 m.
A particle moves in a medium under the influence of a retarding force equal to mk(υ3+ a2υ), where k and a are constants. Show that for any value of the initial speed the particle will never move a distance greater than π/2kaand that the particle comes to rest only for t → ∞.
A cart is set rolling across a level table, at the same speed on every trial. If it runs into a patch of sand, the cart exerts on the sand an average horizontal force of 6 N and travels a distance of 6 cm through the sand as it comes to a stop. It instead the cart runs into a patch of gravel on which the can exerts an average horizontal force of 9 N, how far into the gravel will the cart roll before stopping? (a) 9 cm (b) 6 cm (c) 4 cm (d) 3 cm (e) none of those answers

Some office workers use a sledgehammer to hit their broken computer and push it across an open field. If the computer has a mass of 5.2 kg and moves across the field with an initial velocity of 10.4 m/sec, how far will it travel before coming to a rest from friction (uopenfield = 0.45)?
A golf club strikes a 0.062-kg golf ball in order to launch it from the tee. For simplicity, assume that the average net force applied to the ball acts parallel to the ball’s motion, has a magnitude of 6120 N, and is in contact with the ball for a distance of 0.0080 m. With what speed does the ball leave the club?

a 3kg object is initally moving northward at 15m/s. then a force of 15N, towards the east, acts on it for 3.1 seconds. at the end of the 3.1 seconds, what is the magnitude of the objects final velocity?
You're standing at the top of a snow-covered hill, sloped at 20.0°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between your sled and the hill is 0.534. Unfortunately, there's a running stream just at the bottom of the hill, and you don't want to get wet. If you and your sled together have a mass of 87.0 kg, with what speed should you push off with to stop just before the stream, 77.0 m down the slope?
A 0.07 kg hockey puck slides across an icy surface and experiences a small friction force of 0.08 N . If the puck is given an initial velocity of 4 m/s, how far does it slide before stopping?
