A box slides down the frictionless ramp shown inFIGURE CP10.72, then collides with a spring whose spring constant is .
a. What is the maximum compression of the spring?
b. At what compression of the spring does the box have its maximum speed?
A system loses of potential energy. In the process, it does of work on the environment and the thermal energy increases by . Show this process on an energy bar chart.
A pendulum is formed from a small ball of mass m on a string of length L. AsFIGURE shows, a peg is height above the pendulum’s lowest point. From what minimum angle u must the pendulum be released in order for the ball to go over the top of the peg without the string going slack?

A process occurs in which a system’s potential energy increases while the environment does work on the system. Does the system’s kinetic energy increase, decrease, or stay the same? Or is there not enough information to tell? Explain.
Write a realistic problem for which the energy bar chart shown inFIGURE P10.65 correctly shows the energy at the beginning and end of the problem.
