A 1.5-kg box is released from rest on a frictionless surface that is sloped at θ = 35◦ above the horizontal.After sliding 1.0 m down the slope, the box transitions smoothly to a rough, horizontal surface, slides forsome distance, and then comes to a stop. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and thehorizontal surface is 0.12, how far along the horizontal surface does the box travel?
The skateboarder in the drawing starts down the left side of the ramp with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. Neglect nonconservative forces, such as friction and air resistance, and find the height h of the highest point reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp. + 2.5
A 31.0 cm long spring is hung vertically from a ceiling and stretches to 36.9 cm when an 8.00 kg mass is hung from its free end. a. Find the spring constant (in N/m). b. Find the length of the spring (in cm) if the 8.00 kg weight is replaced with a 185 N weight.
In the figure, a 3.7 kg block slides along a track from one level to a higher level after passing through an intermediate valley. The track is frictionless until the block reaches the higher level. There a frictional force stops the block in a distance d. The block's initial speed is vo = 7.2 m/s, the height difference is h = 1.2 m, and Hg = 0.579. Find d. μ= 0- Number Units
How do you measure the mass of an astronaut in orbit? (You can't just use a scale!) For the 1973 - 1979 Skylab program (Skylab was a space station that predated the current International Space Station), NASA engineers designed a Body Mass Measuring Device (BMMD). This is essentially a chair of mass m mounted on a spring with a carefully measured spring constant ks = 605.6 N/m. (The other end of the spring is connected to the Skylab itself, which has a mass much larger than the astronaut or the chair, and so remains essentially fixed as the astronaut oscillates.) The period of oscillation of the empty chair is measured to be 0.90149 s. When an astronaut is sitting in the chair, the period is 2.12151 s. What is the astronaut's mass? Please describe your reasoning!

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 33.0 cm. When one end is attached to the top of a door frame and a 5.00-kg object is hung from the other end, the length of the spring is 48.5 cm. Answer parts a-b.
A 0.350 kg potato is tied to a string with length 2.80 m, and the other end of the string is tied to a rigid support. The potato is held straight out horizontally from the point of support, with the string pulled taut, and is then released. What is the speed of the potato at the lowest point of its motion? Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s2.
A horizontal force of 80.0 N is applied to a 5.00 kg block as the block slides a distance of 0.800 m along a horizontal floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is 0.500. If the block is initially at rest, how fast is it moving at the end of the displacement?
A block is placed on a frictionless ramp at a height h; of 14.5 m above the ground. Starting from rest, the block slides down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the block slides onto a frictionless horizontal track without slowing down. At the end of the horizontal track, the block slides smoothly onto a second frictionless ramp. 01 = 43.3° 02 = 19.5° How far along the second ramp does the block travel before coming to a momentary stop, as measured along the incline of the ramp? distance traveled along second ramp: m After the block comes to a complete stop on the second ramp, it will then begin moving back down the second ramp. What is the speed of the block when it is 9.25 m, vertically, above the ground? speed of the block: m/s
A 2.0 kg object compresses a spring with a spring constant of 100 N/m by a distance of 8 cm, and then the object is released. Assuming that the object maintains the same acceleration while the spring returns to equilibrium, how fast is the object moving after 1.2 s?
A 1.2 kg block is attached to one end of a horizontal spring of spring constant 500 N/m (the other end is fixed). The block is pulled back 30 cm and released from rest. What is the velocity at 1.5 seconds?
