a block of ice slides down a frictionless ramp at angleθ=30º while an ice worker pulls on the block (via a rope) with a force Fthat has a magnitude of 50 N and is directed up the ramp. As the block slides through distance d=0.50m along the ramp, its kinctic energy increases by 80J. How much greater would its kinetic energy have been if the rope had not been attached to the block?

A sledgehammer of mass m = 1.9 kg falls freely vertically downward from a height of h = 2.5 m at an initial speed of v = 6.5 m/s before striking a partially buried piling. After the blow the piling has moved d = 0.075 m deeper. How much force, in newtons, was applied to the piling? Assume all the energy goes towards driving the piling into the ground, and the force of the sledgehammer is constant over the distance d that the piling is driven into the ground. Note that you can ignore the change in potential energy of the piling itself. Further, because d is so small compared to h, you can also ignore the change in potential energy of the hammer as well as it moves distance d.
