A car loaded with your hopes and dreams has total (combined) mass of 2,500 Kg. It is set onto a ramp on a 45 degree angle and compresses a spring. The total work put into the system to load the spring is 2,400,000 J, or 2.4 Megajoules, and the end of the ramp, in meters and to one decimal place? (Ignore all friction.) (A hint: The answer is between 30 meters and 300 meters of height. Happy hunting.) (A second hint: Note I have referencing the height, not the length of the track. This is important.)

A block of mass m = 2.6 kg is dropped (starting from rest) from a height h = 0.76 meters above the top of an ideal spring with a spring constant of k = 254 newtons per meter. The spring is originally at its equilibrium length (and the mass of the spring is negligible). The block falls on the top of the spring and compresses it a distance d from its equilibrium length before the spring sends it flying back up into the air. Ignore friction and other non-conservative forces, and let g = 9.81 meters per second squared. What is the maximum compression d of the spring (in units of meters)? This one, too. You will need to show your work by submitting your solution for this question.

In the diagram shown, Block A is 34.5 kg and Block B is 11 kg. The incline on Block A's side makes an angle of 61.5∘ with the horizontal and the incline on Block B's side makes an angle of 29∘ with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction of Block A's incline is 0.16 and that of Block B's incline is 0.104 . Assume that Block A is initially (at t = 0) sliding up its incline at 5.2 m/s. Also assume the pulley is massless and frictionless. In your submitted work, be sure to show your neatly drawn free body diagrams for each mass (using a straight-edge). Identify each vector force (draw arrows) in the diagram and draw your axes for each diagram and show the component breakdown for each force. . . points will be lost for sloppy or incomplete drawings. You should have FOUR FBDs. . . one for each mass as Block A slides UP the incline (while Block B slides DOWN its incline), and one for each mass when Block A slides DOWN its incline (while Block B slides UP its incline). (A)Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2) of the blocks as Block A is on the way UP its incline. 20.1 5.36 2.40 9.25 6.16 13.0 (B)Calculate the tension (in N) in the rope as Block A is on the way UP its incline. 233 95.9 43.0 110. 359 165 (C)Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2)of the blocks as Block A is on the way DOWN its incline. 15.0 9.70 1.79 4.60 4.00 6.90 (D)Calculate the tension (in N) in the rope as Block A is on the way DOWN its incline. 367 238 98.0 43.9 113 169 (E)Assuming the ramps and ropes are long enough, over what total distance (in meters) will the blocks have moved along their inclines after 3.5 seconds from start of the motion? (HINT: This is asking for distance, not displacement. ALSO, recognize that at some point over this 3.5 second time interval the blocks will stop and reverse direction.) 27.6 18.4 38.9 7.18 16.0 60.0

Figure 1 Robin is pushing a crate up an inclined plane. Robin pushes with a force of FRC which is parallel to the plane. Robin moves the crate a distance d (measured parallel to the plane). There is ordinary surface friction between the crate and the plane. This question refers to the situation shown in Figure 1, above. Robin pushed the crate with a constant force and the crate moved at constant speed. The crate moved a distance d = 3.37 meters. The crate has a mass of 21.5 kg and the plane is inclined at an angle of 38.5 degrees above horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the plane is 0.22 . Assume the only forces acting on the box are the force exerted by Robin, the forces exerted by the inclined plane (this includes friction), and gravity (with g = 9.81 m/s2. Calculate the work done (in units of joules) on the crate by the inclined plane via the friction force (and only via the friction force) as the crate moved a distance d. (The sign of your answer, positive or negative, is important.)Figure 1 Robin is pushing a crate up an inclined plane. Robin pushes with a force of FRC which is parallel to the plane.
