In figure, a block slides along a track from one level to a higher level by moving through an intermediate valley. The track is friction less until the block reaches the higher level. Then there is friction force which stops the block at a distance . The block's initial speed is , the height difference is , and the coefficient of kinetic friction is . Find .


Important Questions on Work, Energy and Power



In the figure, the stiffness of the spring is and the mass of the block is . The pulley is fixed. Initially, the block is held such that the elongation in the spring is zero and then released from rest.
Find the maximum elongation in the spring
the maximum speed of the block .
Neglect the mass of the spring and that of the string. Also, neglect the friction.



A spring-mass system fall freely from a height before colliding inelastically with the ground. Find the maximum value of so that block will break off the surface. Assume stiffness of the spring.

In an ideal pulley particle system, the mass is connected with a vertical spring of stiffness . If the mass is released from rest, when the spring is deformed, find the maximum compression of the spring.
