A block sliding along a horizontal frictionless surface with speed v collides with a spring and compresses it by 2.0 cm. What will be the compression if the same block collides with the spring at a speed of 2v?
In a hydroelectric dam, water falls 25 m and then spins a turbine to generate electricity.
a. What is ∆UG of 1.0 kg of water?
b. Suppose the dam is 80% efficient at converting the water’s potential energy to electrical energy. How many kilograms of water must pass through the turbines each second to generate 50 MW of electricity? This is a typical value for a small hydroelectric dam.
a. What is the kinetic energy of a car traveling at a speed of ?
b. From what height would the car have to be dropped to have this same amount of kinetic energy just before impact?
A particle moves from A to D in while experiencing force. How much work does the force do if the particle follows path (a) ABD, (b) ACD, and (c) AD? Is this a conservative force? Explain.

Aice cube can slide up and down a frictionless slope. At the bottom, a spring with spring constant is compressed and used to launch the ice cube up the slope. How high does it go above its starting point?
