3. A block on an incline is pushed by a hand. The hand exerts a force on the block parallel to the incline. State whether the specified quantities are positive, negative, or zero. Explain in each case.
a. The block moves up the incline and speeds up.The work done by the hand on the block. The work done by the block on the hand.
b. The block moves down the incline and speeds up (even though the hand is still pushing up along the incline.) The work done by the hand on the block. The work done by the block on the hand.
c. The block moves down the incline and slows down. (Note that the hand is now pushing down the ramp, and the ramp has friction.) The work done by the hand on the block. The work done by the block on the hand.

A spring is compressed by 15 cm, which requires 150 N of force. What is the spring constant of the spring? How much potential energy is stored in the spring? A 20 kg box is attached to the spring. This arrangement is placed such that the spring is horizontal and the box will slide along a frictionless, horizontal track. What is the maximum speed of the box after the spring is released?

1) Consider a soap bubble with radius, r. The pressure inside the bubble must be greater than the pressure outside of the bubble. The surface tension of the bubble, y, supports the difference in pressure, delta p. Using dimensional analysis, formulate an expression for the pressure difference.
2) In 1945 the first atomic bomb was tested in New
Mexico. The destructive power (Energy) of the bomb was kept
classified however, following the release of *time* stamped
pictures showing the bomb's explosion *radius* a British physicist,
G. I. Taylor, was able to estimate the power released by the
explosion. Identify the missing parameter and use dimensional
analysis to formulate an expression for the Energy.

. In a device (figure 30-6) that is used to measure the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectric effect electrons, the voltage difference between the collector and emitter is increased until the current flowing through the circuit goes to zero. This is called the stopping potential and the KEmax can be very simply calculated if you use electron-volts. Using this device, you measure this voltage to be 0.710 V for electrons emitted from a surface illuminated by 492-nm light. Then, when you change the incident light to a new wavelength value, the new voltage is 1.41 V. a)What is the new wavelength? b) What is the work function for the surface?

Speed amplifier. In the figure block 1 of mass m1 slides along an x axis on a frictionless floor at speed 0.568 m/s. Then it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2 of mass m2 = 0.284 m1.
