A block sliding along a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 0.5 m/s collides with a spring attached to a wall. The spring is compressed 18.0 cm before the block is stopped. If the same block were to collide with the spring again while having a speed of 2.6 m/s, what would the spring's compression be before stopping the block this time, in centimetres? Be clear and show your work. (handwritten)

A small box is being launched along a track as shown below (if the image does not load, click here). From A to E the track is smooth whereas it is rough from E to F with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.53. The segment B-C-D is a circular section with a radius of 3.1 m. The table below summarises some relevant information. At A, the block is at rest and the spring is unstretched. Values h1 = 0.49 m h2 = 1.2m Track.png Calculate the maximum speed of the block at C before losing contact with the track. For that maximum speed, calculate the required distance d for the block to stop at F. Write your answer to d in millimetres rounded to the nearest millimetre.

This question is a short free-response question. Show your work for each part of the question. A person pushes a large block on a horizontal ice surface in a straight line to the right with constant speed, as shown above. The mass of the block is 10kg and frictional forces between the block and the ice are negligible. However, the block has a wide cross-sectional area such that air resistance acting on the block cannot be neglected. The opposite is true for the person: air resistance on the person is negligible, but the person’s shoes do not slip on the ice. The table shows the force exerted by the person on the block for several values of constant speed. (a) A student claims that the data show that the magnitude of the force of air resistance is proportional to the speed of the object, within experimental uncertainty. Use physics principles to explain whether the claim is correct. (b) As the person pushes the block, the person moves with the same constant speed as the block. Consider…
