The motion of a crate can be divided into two stages. Stage 1 (A-B): The crate with mass m = 4 kg is compressed against a massless spring with a spring constant (stiffness) k = 256 N/m to point A (0.5 m from its equilibrium position O), then released from rest. The crate moves along a horizontal frictionless surface, from A to B, 1 m above the reference level of PEg. Stage 2 (B-C): The crate slides down a rough curved surface until it reaches its bottom at point C with a speed vc = 5 m/s. Calculate the work done on the crate in stage 2 by the force of kinetic friction. Take g = 10 m/s². VA 0 XA h = 1 m = 5 m/s O -22 J O - 11 J -5 J O - 44 J - 33J O -0.5 m PE = 0- Vc

Block A has a mass mA and is attached to a spring having a stiffness k and an unstretched length l0. If another block B, having a mass mB, is pressed against A so that the spring deforms a distance d, determine the distance both blocks slide on the smooth surface before they begin to separate. What is their velocity at this instance?
A light spring with force constant 3.80 N/m is compressed by 7.44 cm as it is held between a 0.259-kg block on the left and a 0.518-kg block on the right, both resting on a horizontal surface. The spring exerts a force on each block, tending to push them apart. The blocks are simultaneously released from rest.

A block of mass m = 249 grams oscillates to the left and right with negligible friction on the end of an ideal spring with a spring constant of 117 N/m. At the time t = O, the block is a distance 0.145 m to the right of the equilibrium position and it is moving to the right with a speed of 3.1 ms. What is the velocity of the block (in units of meters per second) at the time when t = 0.129 seconds? The sign (positive or negative) of your answer is important. For the purposes of this question, velocity pointing to the right is positive and a velocity to the left is negative.
A spring with a spring constant of 335 N/m is initially compressed by a distance of 0.045 m from its equilibrium position. A mass of 0.045 kg is then held against the compressed spring and released from rest while upon a horizontal, frictionless surface. Assuming that the spring then pushes the mass across the surface, with speed does the mass leave the spring? Assume proper SI Units.
A spring with a spring constant of k = 192 N/m is initially compressed by a block a distance d = 0.23 m. The block is on a horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction μk, static friction μs, and has a mass of m = 7 kg. How large would the coefficient of static friction μs need to be to keep the block from moving? Recall that to keep the block from moving, the acceleration is zero. Assuming the block has just begun to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2, what is the block's acceleration in meters per square second?

A student is asked to measure the acceleration of a glider on a frictionless, inclined plane, using an air track, a stopwatch, and a meterstick. The top of the track is measured to be 1.774 cm higher than the bottom of the track, and the length of the track is d = 127.1 cm. The cart is released from rest at the top of the incline, taken as x = 0, and its position x along the incline is measured as a function of time. For x values of 10.0 cm, 20.0 cm, 35.0 cm, 50.0 cm, 75.0 cm, and 100 cm, the measured times at which these positions are reached (averaged over five runs) are 1.02 s, 1.53 s, 2.01 s, 2.64 s, 3.30 s, and 3.75 s, respectively. (a) Construct a graph of x versus t2, with a best-fit straight line to describe the data. (b) Determine the acceleration of the cart from the slope of this graph. (c) Explain how your answer to part (b) compares with the theoretical value you calculate using a = g sin as derived in Example 4.3.
