Work, Energy, and Power
A billiard ball of mass is moving with a velocity on a frictionless surface. What is the kinetic energy of the billiard ball?
If the velocity of a cart is doubled, what happens to its kinetic energy?
It is halved.
It remains the same.
It is doubled.
It is quadrupled.
A block of mass is at a height above the ground. What is its gravitational potential energy?
A spring with a spring constant is stretched a distance from its equilibrium position. What is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring?
A ball of mass is dropped from a height . What is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground (assuming no air resistance)?
A mass is dropped onto a vertical spring with spring constant . What is the maximum compression of the spring?
A pendulum is released from an initial angle with the vertical. What is the velocity of the pendulum bob at the bottom of its swing (assuming no air resistance)?

A roller coaster starts at a height with an initial velocity . What is the height at a point where its velocity is (assuming no friction)?
An object with initial velocity slides on a surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction until it stops. What is the distance it slides?
A block slides down a ramp of height with friction and compresses a spring with spring constant at the bottom. If the coefficient of friction is , what is the compression of the spring?
Solution requires more information such as ramp length and angle.
