- Asap plzzzzzarrow_forwardA spring is compressed 0.100 m and launches a 3.25 kg object across frictionless ice. After some distance, the object hits a rough patch of ice where the coefficient of kinetic friction of the object on the surface is 0.200. If the spring constant of the spring is 137 N/m, find the distance the object travels across the rough patch of ice using work and energy.arrow_forwardA spring with constant k=200 N/m is fixed to the top of an incline that makes an angle of 40.0 degrees with the horizontal. A projectile with mass 1.10 kg is projected up the plane, form an initial horizontal position that is d from the end of the uncompessed spring. a) If the incline is frictionless and the initial kinetic energy of the projectile is 17.0 J, how much will the spring be compressed? b) If there is a coefficient of friction of 0.200 and the spring must compress by 1.50 cm at the moment when the projectile stops (say, to trigger an event like a switch) then what must the initial speed of the projectile be? All other conditions are same as in the setup.arrow_forward

The spring is compressed by x = 0.55 m. The hill is 2.5 m high. The object is released and after the spring is decompressed it slides down the hill to the bottom. It does experience riction which does work of W = -92 J. At the bottom of the hill what is the object's kinetic nergy and what is its velocity? %3D %3Darrow_forward
- A vertical spring with a spring constant k = 40 N/CM is compressed 10.0 cm from equilibrium. A ball of mass 300 g is launched from the spring. What maximum height does the ball reach above its starting position.arrow_forwardA block of mass m = 2.80 kg is dropped from height h = 46.0 cm onto a spring of spring constant k = 986 N/m (see the figure). Find the maximum distance the spring is compressed. WI peeeeeeeearrow_forwardFigure (a) applies to the spring in a cork gun (Figure (b)); it shows the spring force as a function of the stretch or compression of the spring. The spring is compressed by 7.00 cm and used to propel a 3.90 g cork from the gun. (a) What is the speed of the cork if it is released as the spring passes through its relaxed position?
