A block of mass 0.500 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x (Fig. P7.79). The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the block travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point Ⓐ, the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The block’s speed at the bottom of the track is υⒶ = 12.0 m/s, and the block experiences an average friction force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. (a) What is x? (b) If the block were to reach the top of the track, what would be its speed at that point? (c) Does the block actually reach the top of the track, or does it fall off before reaching the top?

- 2. Max is swimming across a river that is 42.6 m wide. He can swim at 1.6 m/s and heads 20° to the right of the vertical. There is a current pushing him more to the right and it has a speed of 0.30 m/s. Determine the time it takes him to cross the river and find out how far downstream he ends up.
