Discussion Quiz 7 (40 Points) : Solution: The Work Is Area Under The Curve
1. [10 pts] A 5.0 [kg] block moves in a straight line on a horizontal frictionless surface
under the influence of a force that varies with position as shown in the figure. The
scale of the figure’s vertical axis is set by Fs = 10.0 [N]. How much work is done by
the force as the block moves from the origin to x = 8.0 [N]?
2. [10 pts] A 0.30 [kg] ladle sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to one
end of a horizontal spring (k = 500 [N/m]) whose other end is fixed. The ladle has a
kinetic energy of 10 [J] as it passes through its equilibrium position (the point at which
the spring force is zero). At what rate is the spring doing work on the ladle when
the spring is compressed 0.10 [m] and the ladle is moving away from the equilibrium
position?
P = F⃗ · ⃗v = −F v (2)
3. [10 pts] In the following figure, a block slides along a track from one level to a higher
level after passing through an intermediate valley. The track is frictionless until the
block reaches the higher level. There a frictional force stops the block in a distance
d.The block’s initial speed v0 is 6.0 [m/s], the height difference h is 1.1 [m], and µk is
0.60. Find d.
where h = 1.1 [m]. After some time, the block stops sliding in the rough surface
which will be turned into thermal energy given by
or can be written as

momentarily stopping?
