A block of mass m slides on a frictionless table with velocity v. At x = 0, it encounters a frictionless ramp of mass m/2 which is sitting at rest on the frictionless table. The block slides up the ramp, reaches maximum height, and slides back down. What is the velocity of the block when it reaches its maximum height? How high above the frictionless table does the block rise? What are the final velocities of the block and the ramp?

A block of mass m = 5.78 kg is attached to a spring that is resting on a horizontal, frictionless table. The block is pushed into the spring, compressing it by 5.00 m, and is then released from rest. The spring begins to push the block back toward the equilibrium position at x = 0 m. The graph shows the component of the force (in newtons) exerted by the spring on the block versus the position of the block (in meters) relative to equilibrium. Use the graph to answer the questions. How much work W is done by the spring in pushing the block from its initial position at x = −5.00 m to x = 2.86 m? W = J What is the speed v of the block when it reaches x = 2.86 m? v = m/s What is the maximum speed vmax of the block? vmax = m/s

A block of mass m = 1 kg is sliding at 2 m/s [E] on a frictionless surface. A curved frictionless ramp of unknown mass M is at rest on but not attached to the same frictionless surface, as shown at right. The block slides up the ramp after reaching it. The block rises to a maximum height h = 0.125 m on the ramp. What is the velocity of the block at the instant it is at that maximum vertical height? What is the velocity of the block at the instant the block loses contact with the ramp?
