Can you please explain how energy conservation with dissipative forces and how work-energy vs energy conservation affects this problem? Thank you!

A block of mass \( m \) is attached to the end of a spring (spring stiffness constant \( k \)), (see the figure below). The mass is given an initial displacement \( x_0 \) from equilibrium, and an initial speed \( v_0 \).

Ignoring friction and the mass of the spring, use energy methods to find:

(a) its maximum speed, and
(b) its maximum stretch from equilibrium, in terms of the given quantities.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a block attached to a spring on a flat surface. The spring is compressed or stretched, indicating potential movement of the block in the horizontal direction. Arrows beside the block suggest the direction of initial displacement. This setup is typical for analyzing simple harmonic motion using concepts of energy conservation.

3) The figure below illustrates a skier who is skiing on a large frictionless spherical ball of snow. The skier can be treated as a point-like object. The skier starts at the top of the ball with very little speed and picks up speed while traveling along the surface of the snow. During this time, the only forces acting on the skier are the gravitational force applied by the Earth and the normal force applied by the snow. At the moment the radial line extending from the skier to the center of the ball defines an angle a with respect to a vertical line, the skier is about to lose contact with the ball. Determine the value of a.
We know from the reading that it is possible to move the same object two different distances and still do the same amount of work. Let's consider an example in which Jane pushes a block of ice up an incline while Kip lift the same block of ice vertically to the top of the same incline. See the figure below. (look at picture) We will assume that there is no friction between the surface of the incline and the block of ice. Both of these situations will require the same amount of work and that the result of lifting the ice block to some height imparts potential energy to the ice. In this activity, we will make various calculation to help us better understand the relationship between work and potential energy and the idea of conservation of energy. For this activity we will assume that the mass of the ice block is 5.6 kg and the vertical height of the incline is 2 m. This is the vertical distance that Kip must lift the block of ice. We will assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 10…
