Two identical objects are pressed against two different springs so that each spring stores 55.0J of potential energy. The objects are then released from rest. One spring is quite stiff (hard to compress), while the other one is quite flexible (easy to compress). Which of the following statements is or are true? (More than one statement may be true.) A. Both objects will have the same maximum speed after being released.B. The object pressed against the stiff spring will gain more kinetic energy than the other object.C. Both springs are initially compressed by the same amount.D. The stiff spring has a larger spring constant than the flexible spring.E. The flexible spring must have been compressed more than the stiff spring.

Both objects will have the same maximum speed after being released, the stiff spring has a larger spring constant than the flexible spring, and the flexible spring must have been compressed more than the stiff spring.

Three cars (car L, car M, and car N) are moving with the same velocity, and slam on the brakes. The most massive car is car L, and the least massive is car N. Assuming all three cars have identical tires, for which car is the amount of work done by friction in stopping it the highest?

A truck drives slams on the brakes of a moving truck with a constant velocity v, as a result of his action the truck stops after traveling a distance d. If the driver had been traveling with twice the velocity, what would be the stopping distance compared to the distance in the first trial? A. Two times greater B. Four times greater C. The same D. Half as much E. One-quarter as much

Four times greater

Two cyclists who weigh the same and have identical bicycles ride up the same mountain, both starting at the same time. Joe rides straight up the mountain, and Bob rides up the longer road that has a lower grade. Joe gets to the top before Bob. Which statement is true? Ignoring friction and wind resistance, the amount of work done by Joe is greater than the amount of work done by Bob, and the average power exerted by Joe is greater than that of Bob. Ignoring friction and wind resistance, the amount of work done by Joe is equal to the amount of work done by Bob, but the average power exerted by Joe is greater than that of Bob. Ignoring friction and wind resistance, the average power exerted by Bob and Joe was the same, but Joe exerted more work in getting there. Ignoring friction and wind resistance, Bob and Joe exerted the same amount of work, and the average power of each cyclist was also the same.

Ignoring friction and wind resistance, the amount of work done by Joe is equal to the amount of work done by Bob, but the average power exerted by Joe is greater than that of Bob.

C) It would have skidded 4 times farther D) It would have skidded √2 times farther. E) It is impossible to tell from the information given.

It would have skidded 4 times farther
