Question
A 5 kg block is placed near the top of a frictionless ramp, which makes an angle of 30o degrees to the horizontal. A distance d = 1.3 m away from the block is an unstretched spring with k = 3 × 103 N/m. The block slides down the ramp and compresses the spring. Find the maximum compression of the spring.

- If a 4-kg block is placed against the spring and the spring is released, what will be the speed of the block when it separates from the spring at x =0? Neglect any friction in the problem.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 horizontal spring, with a spring constant of 310N/ m, is compress 14cm.

- A wooden block with mass 1.50 kg is placed against a compressedspring at the bottom of an incline of slope 30.0° (point A). Whenthe spring is released, it projects the block up the incline. At point B, adistance of 6.00 m up the incline from A, the block is moving up the inclineat 7.00 m/s and is no longer in contact with the spring. The coefficientof kinetic friction between the block and the incline is mk = 0.50.The mass of the spring is negligible.
