- A box of mass m=125 kg on a horizontal frictionless surface is pressed against (but is not attached to) an ideal spring of spring constant k=970 N/m and negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance x=0.16 m from the springs equilibrium position. After it is released, the box slides up a frictionless incline as shown in the figure. What is the maximum height the box rises when it travels up the incline before coming to rest and then sliding back down? (Use the conservation of the total mechanical energy)arrow_forwardYou push a 2.00 kg block against a horizontal spring, compressing the spring by 15.0 cm. Then you release the block, and the spring sends it sliding across a frictionless tabletop for 30.0 cm. The block then moves up an 30.0°-incline plane and it moves up the incline for 65.0 cm before coming to rest. If the spring constant is 1000.0 N/m, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline plane.arrow_forwardA block of mass 2.40 kg is placed against a horizontal spring of constant k = 885 N/m and pushed so the spring compresses by 0.0400 m.
