A \( 1.5 \) \( \text{kg} \) block is pushed to the right with just enough force to get it to move. The block is pushed for five seconds with this constant force, then the force is released and the block slides to a stop. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is \( 0.300 \) and the coefficient of static friction is \( 0.400 \), calculate the amount of time that passes from when the force is applied to when the block stops.

A block of mass \( m \) is moving on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed \( v_0 \) as it approaches a block of mass \( 2m \) which is at rest and has an ideal spring attached to one side.

When the two blocks collide, the spring is completely compressed and the two blocks momentarily move at the same speed, and then separate again, each continuing to move.

The diagram shows a horizontally oriented circular pipe of initial diameter labeled ( D ) that bends smoothly upward into an S-shape and then levels off into a horizontal section whose diameter is labeled ( 2D ). On the lower horizontal section, a point on the pipe’s centerline is marked with a solid black dot and labeled "A". A right-pointing horizontal arrow originates at point A and is labeled ( v_0 ), indicating the fluid velocity at that point. Directly above point A, a dashed horizontal reference line extends across the page. A second dashed horizontal line, parallel to the first, is drawn through a point on the upper horizontal pipe section. The vertical distance between the two dashed lines is marked by a vertical bracket with arrowheads at both ends and labeled ( H ). On the upper horizontal pipe section, a solid black dot on the centerline is labeled "B". A vertical bracket on the left side of the lower dashed line shows the pipe diameter at A labeled ( D ). A similar bracket on the right side of the upper dashed line shows the pipe diameter at B labeled ( 2D ). All pipe walls are drawn as thin parallel curves representing the interior and exterior surfaces.

Water of density \( \rho \) flows through the section of circular pipe shown in the figure. At Point A, where the diameter of the pipe is \( D \), the water has a pressure \( P_0 \) and velocity \( v_0 \). Point B is located a vertical distance \( H \) above Point A in a section of the pipe that has diameter \( 2D \).
