A 5 kg block is connected to a spring with a coefficient of 500 N/m. A force of 100 N is applied compressing the spring. The spring is then released and allowed to oscillate back and forth on a rough surface. During the oscillation it is found that when the block is stretched 10 cm it has a velocity of 1.5 m/s. a. How far was the spring initially compressed? b. What is the work done by friction when it reaches the 10 cm position?

Problem 4: Speed deamplifier. In the figure above on the right, block 1 of mass m1 slides along an x-axis on a frictionless floor at speed 4 m/sec.Then it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2 of mass m2 = 2m1. Next, block 2 undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 3 of mass mz = 4m1. What then is the speed of block 3? Answer: 16 m/sec or 1.78 m/sec.
