In the figure, a block of mass m = 1.30 kg slides head on into a spring of spring constant k = 390 N/m. When the block stops, it has compressed the spring by 6.60 cm. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and floor is 0.330. While the block is in contact with the spring and being brought to rest, what are (a) the work done by the spring force and (b) the increase in thermal energy of the block-floor system? (c) What is the block's speed just as the block reaches the spring?
The only force acting on a 1.0 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 4.1 N. The canister initially has a velocity of 3.9 m/s in the positive x direction, and some time later has a velocity of 7.9 m/s in the positive y direction. How much work is done on the canister by the 4.1 N force during this time?
A7.1 kg body is at rest on a frictionless horizontal air track when a constant horizontal force F acting in the positive direction of an x axis along the track is applied to the body.

In the figure, a block slides down an incline. As it moves from point A to point B, which are 4.1 m apart, force F acts on the block, with magnitude 4.8 N and directed down the incline.
