A 2-kg block travels from the top of a plane inclined 25° with the horizontal compressing a spring at the bottom of the incline with an initial speed of 0.65 m/s. Due to the motion of the block, the spring was compressed by 0.2 meters. The spring has a k of 100 N/m and the coefficient of friction between the block and the incline is 0.40. What is the initial kinetic energy of the block? O -0.8) O 041 O -0.4)
1. So imagine a wombat named Horace at rest. It's somehow on the top of a long telephone pole. It has a mass of 44.0 kg. It then slides down the pole reaching a final speed of 5.95 m/s just before reaching the bottom 12.4 later. (a) Calculate the change in the gravitational potential energy of Horace from top to bottom. (b) What is Horace's kinetic energy just before reaching the bottom? (c) What is the average force of friction that acts on Horace while sliding?
