A 1.86-kg block is held in place against the spring by a 81-N horizontal external force (see the figure). The external force is removed, and the block is projected with a velocity v1 = 1.2 m/s upon separation from the spring
The block descends a ramp and has a velocity at the bottom. The track is frictionless between points A and B. The block enters a rough section at B, extending to E. The coefficient of kinetic friction over this section is 0.28. The velocity of the block is v3 = 1.4 m/s at C. The block moves on to D, where it stops. The height h of the ramp is closest to
A) 11
B) 7.3
C) 15
D) 17
E) 18

According to our theory of solar system formation, what three major changes occurred in the solar nebula as it shrank in size?
A) It got hotter, its rate of rotation increased, and it flattened into a disk. B) Its mass, temperature, and density all increased. C) It gained energy, it gained angular momentum, and it flattened into a disk. D) Its gas clumped up to form the terrestrial planets, nuclear fusion produced heavy elements to make the jovian planets, and central temperatures rose to more than a trillion Kelvin.
Suppose you have two capacitors and want to use them to store the maximum amount of energy by connecting them across a voltage source. You should connect them
A) in parallel across the source. B) in series across the source. C) It doesn't matter because the stored energy is the same either way.
