In any physical or chemical process, the total energy:
HARD
A block of 9 kg is moving with a velocity of 4 m/s on a frictionless surface. The block comes to rest by compressing the spring. If the spring constant is 4x104 N/kg, then find the compression in the spring.
HARD

A force is applied upon a body of 40 kg then its velocity increases from 1
metre/second to 2 metre/second. Determine work done by the force.

EASY
A force of 40 N acts on a body, and body moves through a distance of 2 metre at an angle of 45° in the direction of the force. The work done by the force is

An object of mass 10 kg  is dropped from a height of 20 m. Calculate the potential energy and kinetic energy of the object at various heights as mentioned in the data:

Height at which object is located
20 m
15 m
10 m
5 m
Just above the ground

Show by calculations that the above data verifies the law of conservation of energy. (take g=10 m/s2 )
