1. Knight 11.048. [492885]

In the figure, m1 = 3.1 kg. Use work and energy to find the speed of the m2 = 2.3 kg block just before it hits the floor in each of the following cases.

(a) The table is frictionless.
m/s
(b) The coefficient of kinetic friction of the 3.1 kg block is 0.15.
m/s

2. Knight 11.054. [380267]

The spring shown in Figure P11.54 is compressed 35 cm and used to launch a 100 kg physics student. The track is frictionless until it starts up the incline. The student's coefficient of kinetic friction on the 30° incline is 0.13.


Figure P11.54

(a) What is the student's speed just after losing contact with the spring?
m/s
(b) How far up the incline does the student go?
m (measured along the incline)

3. Knight 11.034. [455131]

A particle moves from A to D in Figure P11.34 while experiencing force = (7 + 9 ) N. How much work does the force do if the particle follows the following paths?

W

5. Knight 11.015. [455118]

A 400 g particle moving along the x-axis experiences the force shown in Figure Ex11.15. The particle goes from vx = 1.5 m/s at x = 0 m to vx = 7.5 m/s at x = 2 m. What is Fmax?
N
