The only force acting on an object moving along the x-axis is the conservative force given by F(x) = (2.00 N/m)x + (1.00 N/m3)x3.
 
  (a) What is the change in potential energy when the object moves from x = 1.00 m to x = 2.00 m?
  (b) What is the change in kinetic energy when the object moves from x = 1.00 m to x = 2.00 m?
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

A 1.37-kg block is held in place against the spring by a 74-N horizontal external force (see the figure).
 
  The external force is removed, and the block is projected with a velocity v1 = 1.2 m/s upon separation from the spring. The block descends a ramp and has a velocity at the bottom. The track is frictionless between points A and B. The block enters a rough section at B, extending to E. The coefficient of kinetic friction over this section is 0.24. The velocity of the block is at C. The block moves on to D, where it stops. The initial compression of the spring is closest to
 
  A) 2.7 cm.
  B) 1.4 cm.
  C) 0.96 cm.
  D) 5.3 cm.
  E) 3.6 cm.

Adolescents often feel clumsy during puberty because during this time of development, their hands and feet grow faster than their arms and legs do. The body is therefore out of proportion. One out of five adolescents actually experiences growing pains during this period.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.

The first documented use of surgical anesthesia in the United States was in Connecticut in 1844.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.
