A spring is placed horizontally on a frictionless table. The spring constant of the spring is 50 N/m, and it is compressed 0.1 m by a 2 kg block.
a. How much energy is stored in the spring?
b. When the spring expands back to its resting position, it pushes the block away. What is the kinetic
energy of the block as a result of this force?
c. What is the velocity of the block as it is pushed away by the spring?

Which graph represents motion with an object with positive velocity that is located at a position of 3 meters at a time of 0 seconds? a) a b) bb eliminate c) c d) d

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?

Arailroad car collides with and sticks to an identical railroad car that is initially at rest. after the collision, the total kinetic energy of the two cars is a) the same as before. b) half as much as before. c) one third as much as before. d) one fourth as much as before. e) twice as much as before.
