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

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
