The figure below shows a force versus position graph for a spring/block system. If Fs=160N and the block is released at x = 12 cm (not shown on figure) how much work is done on the block by the spring as the block goes from x = + 8.0 cm to x = + 5.0 cm. HInt: Determine k from the graph. Don't forget to convert from cm.

As shown in the figure below, a skateboarder starts at point A on the ramp and rises to point B, a maximum height of h = 2.51 m above the top of the ramp. If the amount of work done against friction is insignificant, determine his initial speed (in m/s) at point A. m/s
A 2 kg object is thrown downward on an incline with initial velocity of 5m/s. After 12 meter displacement, its velocity becomes 8m/s. What is work done on the object by friction during the motion? (friction is between object and inclined surface). (Please type all steps of your solution and show the formulas you have used.)

1. Refer to figure 1. The 10.0 kg green cart travels down a ramp - from point A to B. Calculate its starting potential energy, kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp, and its velocity coming off the bottom of the ramp. If the cart coasts from points B to C, did it do any work? How far up the 2nd ramp does the cart go as measured from the ground? 10.0m Figure 1 B
A 57-kg cart slows down from a speed of 2.5 m/s and comes to rest due to friction. Use work-energy theorem to calculate the work done by the friction. Show work +5. Hint: Follow this guide, Calculate Initial Kinetic energy: K1 = Calculate the Final Kinetic energy: K2 = Calculate the total work done W_tot = Enter the work done (include the sign if negative), rounded off to ONE decimal place
