(a) An object is subjected to the force F = 3x3 z ı ^ + 5 z2k ^ N, where x and z are in metres. The object can only move in the xz-plane.
(i) The object moves from the origin by moving first along the x-axis to (a, 0) and then parallel to the z-axis to the point with coordinates (a,b). How much work does the force do?

(ii) The object moves from the origin by moving first along the z-axis to (0,b) and then parallel to the x-axis to the point with coordinates (a,b). How much work does the force do?

(iii) Is this a conservative force?

(b) In the figure, we show a spring compressed by 85 cm. It is used to launch a physics student of mass 88 kg. The track is frictionless until it starts up the incline. Assume that the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. The student has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.23 on the 30o incline.

(i) What is the student's speed just after losing contact with the spring?

(ii) Once the student has reached the lowest point on the track, they continue back up the other side, slowed down by friction and gravity. How far does the student travel up the incline before stopping?

1.The same horizontal force, of magnitude F, is applied to two different blocks, of mass m and 3m The blocks move on a frictionless surface and both blocks begin from rest. If each block moves the same distance as the force is applied, which one of the following sentences is true?
A)The lighter block acquires 9 times as much kinetic energy as the heavier block.
B)The two blocks acquire the same kinetic energy.
C)The heavier block acquires 3 times as much kinetic energy as the lighter block.
D)The lighter block acquires 3 times as much kinetic energy as the heavier block.
E)The heavier block acquires 9 times as much kinetic energy as the lighter block.
Note: I initially came up with C as my answer, but it is supposably wrong.
1.1 Two identical objects of the same mass, initially at rest, are accelerated through the same distance by different forces such that one object gains velocity twice that of the other object. One can conclude that the force on the faster object is _________
A)10 times that of the slower object
B)Half that of the slower object
C)16 times that of the slower object
D)Twice that of the slower object
E)Four times that of the slower object.
F)Three times that of the slower object
Please help and explain as I want to understand the question and answer. Thank you.

A sealed container of volume 7 m3 has two compartments with a barrier in between them. In one compartment, there is O2 at an initial pressure of 3 atm, initial temperature of 540 K, and volume 3 m3. In the other compartment, there is CO2 at an initial pressure of 5 atm, initial temperature of 430 K, and volume 4 m3. The barrier in the middle is punctured and the two gases mix together. What is the final pressure and temperature of the two gases and what is the change in entropy of the universe after the gases combine

Two friends, Al and Jo, have a combined mass of 166 kg. At the ice skating rink, they stand close together on skates, at rest and facing each other. Using their arms, they push on each other for 1 second and move off in opposite directions. Al moves off with a speed of 5.9 m/sec in one direction and Jo moves off with a speed of 9.7 m/sec in the other. You can assume friction is negligible.

Two large parallel copper plates are 3.60 cm apart and have a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 7.98 N/C between them (see the figure). An electron is released from the negative plate at the same time that a proton is released from the positive plate. Neglect the force of the particles on each other and find their distance from the positive plate when they pass each other.
