1. Use conservation of energy and ,for b part, its connection to work by a non-conservative force. A 0.55 kg block is placed against a spring. The spring is compressed 0.25m and then the block is held in place. According to information, the spring constant of the spring is 250N/m. As shown, the spring and mass are on a 30.0 degree incline. The block is now released. Answer the following 2 questions. (a) If the inline is frictionless, how fast is the block moving when it reaches the 2.4 meter mark along the incline? (b) If the incline did have friction, what kinetic coefficient of friction (?) would be required to bring the block's velocity to zero at the 2.4 meter mark? [10 points] 2. Starting from Newton's laws and conservation of mechanical energy for a satellite: [5 points] By what factor must an object's speed in circular orbit be increased to reach escape speed from its orbital altitude? 3. Starting with Newton's laws.....[5 points] . A white dwarf is a collapsed star with roughly the Sun's mass compressed into the size of Earth. What would be (a) the orbital speed and (b) the orbital period for a spaceship in orbit just above the surface of a white dwarf?

1.) A block with a mass of 2 kg is held at rest against a spring that has been compressed 30 cm. The spring constant is 750 N/m. It moves uphill and comes to rest. There is only friction on the hill and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3. What is the final vertical height the block reaches on the hill? 2.) A block of mass 2.5 kg is attached to a spring that has a spring constant of 450 N/m. The block is compressed a distance of S cm. a) What is the speed of the block when the spring returns to the equilibrium position? Assume no friction. b) What is the speed of the block when the spring returns to the equilibrium position if there is friction between the block and the floor? The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.35.
A block with a mass of 2.0 kg is held against a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 200 N/m. The block compresses the spring 25 cm from its equilibrium position. After the block is released, it travels horizontally along a frictionless surface and then up a frictionless ramp. The ramp's angle of inclination is 28°. a) Determine the elastic potential energy of the spring before the mass is released. b) Determine the maximum speed of the block. c) Determine how far along the angled ramp surface the block will travel before it stops.
