A 360 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 1.0 N/cm (see the figure). The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 17 cm before momentarily stopping. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by (a) the gravitational force on it and (b) the spring force? (c) What is the speed of the block just before it hits the spring? (Assume that friction is negligible.) (d) If the speed at impact is doubled, what is the maximum compression of the spring?

A four-horse carriage is accelerating by 6 m/s every three (3) seconds, carrying a total load (including the carriage, the coach man, and the passengers) of 275 kg. If the carriage is traveling for 50 meters along the dirt highway, whose friction value is known to be 451 N. (Note that 1hp = 746W, and in unit Watt=Joule/sec.) 1. How much work does the four-horse carriage exerted? (Unit in Joule) 2. How many seconds does the four-horse carriage had to attain the power necessary for work? (Unit in second) 3. How much kinetic energy does the carriage possess? (Unit in Joule)
A 12.0 kg box is given an initial push that starts it sliding across the floor. It eventually comes to a stop. If the box has an initial velocity of 3.5 m/s, how much work is done by friction to cause it to come to a stop? (Yes, you are correct, you do not know the coefficient of friction.)
What is the correct answer for this? I answered triple but it is WRONG. Please provide an explanation for this. Thanks much!
