Today, we are transitioning into talking about energy and are going to start small and examine energy from a few different scenarios. These scenarios highlight the idea of choosing systems and will ask you to analyze each problem from two different systems. This will hopefully help you all compare and contrast these two different approaches to solving energy problems. | Today, we are transitioning into talking about energy and are going to start small and examine energy from a few different scenarios.

Iron Man encounters a train that has run out of fuel 1000 m before the train station. He decides to put on his blasters (which have a force of 2000 N), and he pushes the train for 500 m to get it up to speed. He's hoping that friction for the rest of the way will slow down the train by the time it arrives at the station. | Iron Man encounters a train that has run out of fuel 1000 m before the train station.

The Black Widow is caught in a trap and is sliding down an oil-slicked incline of angle 32 degrees. Ant-Man while engaging in combat with Kang the Conqueror throws a spring of k = 320 N/m that he enlarges as it is thrown and it lands at the bottom of the incline and becomes 8m long. The Black Widow needs to know how far away from the spring she is so she can figure how fast she needs to hit it in order to escape the incline of 25m length. Iron Man estimates that if she hits the spring from her current height with no initial velocity she will compress it by .148 meters. How far away from the spring is The Black Widow and what speed does she need to be moving at initially to get off the incline? | The Black Widow is caught in a trap and is sliding down an oil-slicked incline of angle 32 degrees.
