1. A boy in a pedal car is moving at a speed of 1.40 m/s at the start of a 2.10 m high and 12.4 m long incline. The total mass is 54.5 kg, air resistance and rolling resistance can be modeled as a constant friction force of 41.0 N, and the speed at the lower end of the incline is 6.80 m/s. Determine the work done (in J) by the boy as the car travels down the incline.

2. An energy-efficient lightbulb, taking in 24.0 W of power, can produce the same level of brightness as a conventional lightbulb operating at power 100 W. The lifetime of the energy-efficient bulb is 10 000 h and its purchase price is $4.60, whereas the conventional bulb has lifetime 750 h and costs $0.46 per bulb. Determine the total savings obtained by using one energy-efficient bulb over its lifetime as opposed to using conventional bulbs over the same time period. Assume an energy cost of $0.20 per kilowatt-hour.

A 0.990 kg block slides on a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 1.40 m/s. The block encounters an unstretched spring with a force constant of 231 N/m. Before the block comes to rest, the spring is compressed by 9.17 cm. 1) Suppose the force constant of the spring is doubled, but the mass and speed of the block remain the same. By what multiplicative factor do you expect the maximum compression of the spring to change? Explain. 2)...
