A block with mass m = 12 kg rests on a frictionless table and is accelerated by a spring with spring constant k = 4599 N/m after being compressed a distance x1 = 0.45 m from the spring’s unstretched length. The floor is frictionless except for a rough patch a distance d = 2.7 m long. For this rough path, the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.41. 1) How much work is done by friction as the block crosses the rough spot? 2) Instead, the spring is only compressed a distance x2 = 0.117 m before being released. How far into the rough path does the block slide before coming to rest? 3) What distance does the spring need to be compressed so that the block will just barely make it past the rough patch when released?

Consider an object of mass m = 4 kg on a frictionless table. The object experiences a repulsive force F = a/x2 + b/x, where F is in newtons and x is the position of the object relative to the origin. Write an expression for the work done by the repulsive force on the object as it moves from an initial position of x1 to a final position of x2. If the object starts at a position of x1 = 8.5 m apart, how much work, in joules, is required by an external force to bring it to a position of x2 = 2.5 m apart when a = 19 and b = 11? If the object starts at rest at a position x3 = 1.3 m and is released, at what speed v, in meters per second, will the object be moving when it is at position x4 = 12.5 m?
