A block of mass m is released from rest and slides down a frictionless track of height h as is shown. At the bottom of the track, where the surface is horizontal, the block strikes and sticks to a light spring of force constant k. Determine an expression for the maximum distance the spring is compressed. NOTE: Express your answer in terms of m, h, k and any other relevant physical constants.

As shown in the figure, a block of mass m is at rest on a ramp inclined 30∘ to the horizontal, and another block of mass 2 3 m at rest on a ramp inclined 60∘. Two blocks are connected by a light, inextensible cord, and the cord passes on a light, frictionless pulley. The other end of the block of mass m is connected to an spring with a force constant k. The spring is neither compressed nor extended. (a) What is the maximum distance the blocks will move when the inclines are frictionless? Express the answer in terms of m, k, and the gravitational acceleration g. (b) Repeat (a) when the coefficients of kinetic friction are 1/3 for both blocks. (c) What is the change in the internal energy of the system composed of the blocks, the inclines, and the spring?

On Earth, a block of mass m is attached to a spring and immersed in a liquid. As the block moves, the liquid always exerts a force with a constant magnitude Fd but pointing opposite to the direction of motion. The spring has a relaxed length L0 and stiffness ks. As shown in the diagram, the block is initially released from rest when the length of the spring is 2∗L0. The bottom surface supporting the block is frictionless. Assume that the positive x-axis points to the right. Determine the new velocity of the block T seconds after leaving your hand. Assume T is small enough that the direction of the force doesn't change through this time period. Express your answer as a vector in terms of m, L, L0, ks, Fd and T. Determine the new net force on the block T seconds after leaving your hand. Assume T is small enough that the direction of the force doesn't change through this time period. Express your answer as a vector in terms of m, L, L0, ks, Fd and T.
