seven sentences of explaining energy conservation. You should discuss its basic definition, situations that are well-suited for it, the relevant formulae, and the general problem-solving process with energy conservation.

A block with mass m = 5 kg is pushed against a spring with constant k = 100 N/m, compressing it a distance d = 2 m. The block is released, and travels up a slope with angle = 20o. a. Draw a diagram of the problem, labeling all relevant variables and a suitable coordinate system.

Clearly specify where the ground is in your diagram. b. Determine the total energy of the block at any point in its motion. c. Find the distance traveled by the block up the slope before it stops. Provide this as distance along the

slope, not a vertical or horizontal distance. d. Calculate the position on the slope where the block travels at 5 m/s. Provide this as a height above the

ground.
