A Corvette is traveling at a constant velocity \( 30 \, \text{m/s} \) when it passes a stationary supped up Civic. At that moment, the Civic puts the pedal to the floor and accelerates at \( 6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). The Civic eventually catches up to the Corvette.

The steepest street in the world is Baldwin Street in Dunedin, New Zealand. It has an inclination angle of \( 38.0^\circ \) with respect to the horizontal. Suppose a wooden crate with a mass of \( 25.0 \) \( \text{kg} \) is placed on Baldwin Street. An additional force of \( 59 \) \( \text{N} \) must be applied to the crate perpendicular to the pavement in order to hold the crate in place. If the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the pavement is \( 0.599 \), what is the magnitude of the frictional force?

A \(4.0 \, \text{kg}\) block is moving at \(5.0 \, \text{m/s}\) along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal spring that is attached to a wall. After the block collides with the spring, the spring is compressed a maximum distance of \(0.68 \, \text{m}\). What is the speed of the block when the spring is compressed to only one-half of the maximum distance?

A block is released from rest and slides down a frictionless ramp inclined at  \( 30^\circ \) from the horizontal. When the block reaches the bottom, the block-Earth system has mechanical energy \( \text{E}_i \). The experiment is repeated, but now horizontal and vertical forces of magnitude \( F \) are exerted on the block while it slides, as shown above. When the block reaches the bottom, the mechanical energy of the block-Earth system.
