Question
![**Problem Statement:**
A mass is attached to an unusual spring-like object, which has a position-dependent restoring force given by:
\[ F(x) = - (8.0 \, \text{N/m}^3)x^3 - (1.2 \, \text{N/m}^5)x^5 \]
**Questions:**
a. What is the work done to move the mass from equilibrium to \( x = 0.5 \, \text{m} \)?
b. What is the potential energy of the object at \( x = 0.5 \, \text{m} \) (taking equilibrium as the reference point)?](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/13d2fa52-7679-4dbf-8ccf-e0669bc97f10/6124dffa-12eb-4522-a2db-533ff8abc75f/5e6m3jk_thumbnail.jpeg)

An object with m = 2.6 kg is on top of a hill and is pressed against spring with k = 300 N/m. The spring is compressed by x = 0.55 m. The hill is 2.5 m high. The object is released and after the spring is decompressed it slides down the hill to the bottom. It does experience riction which does work of W = -92 J. At the bottom of the hill what is the object's kinetic nergy and what is its velocity? %3D %3Darrow_forward
