An object with mass m = 5.0 kg is released from rest from a height H = 11 m as shown in the figure. It slides down the incline at angle θ = 38° and collides with a spring that has a spring constant k = 1400 N/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction is not constant over the incline, but increases linearly with a distance as μ k (x) = αx, where α is constant and its value is 0.049 m −1 and x is distance in meters. The horizontal surface is frictionless. What is the work done by the friction force as the block slides from point A to point B? (Your result must be in Joules and without decimals. Maximum of 2% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.8 m/s2.)
Two rigid bodies, A and B, both 1 kg in mass, are connected by a linear spring with a spring constant of 0.2 N/m. Initially, the spring is unstretched and the bodies are at rest. If multiple forces and moments are applied to the two bodies that result in the speed of body A increasing to 10 m/s, the speed of body B increasing to 4 m/s, and the stretch of the spring increasing by 10 m, then -20 Nm of work was done by the spring on the body A, B system.

A scene in a movie has a stuntman falling through a floor onto a bed in the room below. The plan is to have the actor fall on his back, but a researcher has been hired to investigate the safety of this stunt. When the researcher examines the mattress, she sees that it effectively has a spring constant of 77144 N/m77144 N/m for the area likely to be impacted by the stuntman, but it cannot depress more than 13.33 cm13.33 cm without injuring him. To approach this problem, consider a simplified version of the situation. A mass falls through a height of 3.92 m3.92 m before landing on a spring of force constant 77144 N/m.77144 N/m. Calculate the maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance. maximum mass: Based on this crude measurement, is the stunt safe using the proposed mattress? yes no cannot determine
A block A, of mass m = 10 Kg, compresses a spring of constant K = 1000 N / m in a length x = 3 cm. Starting from rest, the block is released, which moves from that moment on a horizontal surface without friction until it collides with another block B of mass m = 40 Kg, which was at rest. (Perfectly inelastic shock) and together they go up the channel (inclined surface) without friction, to later continue along a second horizontal plane without friction, at a height h with respect to the first (see Figure). Determine the energy variation that occurs in the collision .
