- Could you help with questions 2 and 3?arrow_forwardA small box with a mass of 0.05 kg is placed against a compressed spring that has K = 150 N/m. The box is on a frictionless surface inclined at 40 degrees. When the spring is released, the box travels a distance of 1.8m up the incline. a) What distance was the spring originally compressed? b) What was the kinetic energy of the box when it was 0.80m from its initial position? c) What was the velocity of the box at 0.80m from its initial position?arrow_forwardA large object moves to the right across a horizontal surface. The figure depicts five forces acting on the object, each with the same magnitude but exerted in different directions. For each one, a) determine whether the work done is positive or negative. b) Students were asked to rank the work done by the forces with the greatest first. Here is what one student was thinking: “I know that since W=Fcos, the more the force pushes in the direction that the object moves, the more work done. So, I think that F1 does the most work, but I am not sure about F2 and F5. The angle for both is the same, but they are pointing in different directions. I know that the sign for vectors just means direction and not size, but I am not sure here.” How would you explain the meaning of the sign for Work? How would you Rank the Work done?arrow_forward
