Calculate the speed of the cube at point D. (c) How much work is done by gravity in moving the object from
point A to point E?
A.
YA = 5 m
B
YB = 3 m
2.00 m
D
YE = 4 m
YD= 3 m
Yc = 2 m
Exercise No 2:
A 500-g block is released from rest and slides down a frictionless track that begins 2.0 m above the horizontal,
as shown. At the bottom of the track, where the surface is horizontal, the block strikes and sticks to a light
spring with a spring constant of 20.0 N/m. Find the maximum distance the spring is compressed.
