A roller-coaster starts from rest at point 1. Assuming there is no friction, calculate. the speed of the roller-coaster at point 4. SHOW YOUR WORK.

The work-energy theorem says that

• The work done by a single force is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object

• The TOTAL or NET work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object

• The TOTAL or NET work done on an object is equal to the change in the gravitational potential energy of the object

• The work done by a single force is equal to the change in the object's speed

A block of mass 2 kg has a speed of 7 m/s. It comes into contact with a spring, the spring compresses a distance of 0.3 m, and the block comes to rest. Use the conservation of energy to find the spring contsant. SHOW YOUR WORK.

The formula for elastic potential energy is

• $U_S=mgh$

• $U_S=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

• $U_S=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

• $U_S=-\nabla E$
