Chapter 7, Problem 57P
A 190-g block is launched by compressing a spring of constant k = 200 N/m by 15 cm. The spring is mounted horizontally, and the surface directly under it is frictionless. But beyond the equilibrium position of the spring end, the surface has frictional coefficient μ = 0.27. This frictional surface extends 85 cm. followed by a frictionless curved rise, as shown in Fig. 7.21. After it’s launched, where does the block finally come to rest? Measure from the left end of the frictional zone.

A block of mass m = 0.26 kg slides with initial velocity vo m/s along a frictionless surface (as in
the figure). The block next slides through a region of length d= 0.19 m with kinetic friction.
After passing through the friction region, the block slides up a curved ramp until momentarily
coming to rest at a height h above the level surface. If the kinetic friction coefficient μk = 0.126
and the block reaches height h = 0.11 m above the initial level, what was its initial velocity vo?
Express the answer in m/s but enter only the numerical part in the box.

A spring is used to propel a 10.0-g block from rest which then slides across a surface. frictionless horizontal plane and up an inclined plane at an angle of 30 degrees . The spring has a constant of 80 N / m. Find the distance that the spring is initially compressed if the block rises to a distance of 2.0 m from the foot of the inclined plane.
A 4.5 kg box slides down a 4.3-m-high frictionless hill, starting from rest, across a 2.0-m-wide horizontal surface, then hits a horizontal spring with spring constant 510 N/m. The other end of the spring is anchored against a wall. The ground under the spring is frictionless, but the 2.0-m-long horizontal surface is rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on this surface is 0.22. What is the speed of the box just before reaching the rough surface? What is the speed of the box just before hitting the spring? How far is the spring compressed? Including the first crossing, how many complete trips will the box make across the rough surface before coming to rest?
