Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A \( 50 \) \( \text{g} \) ice cube can slide up and down a frictionless \( 30^{\circ}\) slope. At the bottom, a spring with spring constant \( 25 \) \( \text{N/m} \) is compressed \( 10 \) \( \text{cm} \) and is used to launch the ice cube up the slope. How high does it go above its starting point? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A 0.035 kg bullet moving horizontally at 350 m/s embeds itself into an initially stationary 0.55 kg block. Air resistance is negligible.
A 0.5 kg pendulum bob is raised to 1.0 m above the floor, as shown in the figure. The bob is then released from rest. When the bob is 0.8 m above the floor, its speed is most nearly
How does the speed v1 of a block m reaching the bottom of slide 1 compare with v2, the speed of a block 2m reaching the end of slide 2? The blocks are released from the same height.

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
