In Fig., a block of ice slides down a frictionless ramp at angle while an ice worker pulls on the block (via a rope) with a force that has a magnitude of and is directed up the ramp. As the block slides through distance along the ramp, its kinetic energy increases by . How much greater would its kinetic energy have been if the rope had not been attached to the block?

The only force acting on a 2.0 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 5.0 N. The canister initially has a velocity of 4.0 m/sin the positive x direction and sometime later has a velocity of 6.0 m/sin the positive y direction. How much work is done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time?
In Fig. , we must apply a force of magnitude to hold the block stationary at . From that position, we then slowly move the block so that our force does of work on the spring–block system; the block is then again stationary. What is the block’s position? (Hint:There are two answers.)
In Fig. 5-64, a force of magnitude is applied to a FedEx box of mass . The force is directed up a plane tilted by . The box is connected by a cord to a UPS box of mass on the floor. The floor, plane, and pulley are frictionless, and the masses of the pulley and cord are negligible. What is the tension in the cord?
During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with large catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke’s law with a spring constant of 100 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 5.00 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length?
