Please help, due tonight A block is at the bottom of a frictionless ramp and is given a kick so that it has some initial velocity and starts to slide up the ramp. There
is no air resistance. Which of the following is true of the energy of the block as it slides?
(A) Its potential energy will increase; its kinetic energy will decrease.
(B) Its potential energy will decrease; its kinetic energy will increase.
(C) Both its potential and kinetic energies will increase.
(D) Both its potential and kinetic energies will decrease.

Aparticle of mass m is projected with an initial velocity v0 in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal level ground as shown in the figure. the motion of the particle occurs under a uniform gravitational field g pointing downward. (a) write down the lagrangian of the system by using the cartesian coordinates (x, y). (b) is there any cyclic coordinate(s). if so, interpret it (them) physically. (c) find the euler-lagrange equations. find at least one constant of motion. (d) solve the differential equation in part (c) and obtain x and y coordinates of the projectile as a function of time. (e) construct the hamiltonian of the system, h, and write down the hamilton’s equations (canonical equations) of motion.

Argon is adiabatically compressed from an initial volume of 16 liters to a final volume of 2 liters. by what factor do the following quantities change? do they increase or decrease? (a) the rms speed (b) the thermal energy of the gas (c) the molar specific heat cv (d) the pressure
