a. Does a car’s kinetic energy change more when the car speeds up from 11 to 18 m/s or from 16 to 23 m/s? Explain. b. A stone cube is pressed against an uncompressed spring (length = 6.80 m) until it is fully compressed (length = 0.70 m), the stone cube is exactly at the bottom of an incline of slope 35.0°. Upon released, the spring projects the stone cube up the incline. Right when the stone cube is no longer in contact with the spring, it is moving up the incline at 8.70 m/s. The mass of the stone cube is 2.10 kg and the mass of the spring is negligible. Given that the μk between the stone cube and the surface of the incline is = 0.46. Calculate the amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring.
