- In each figure below, a system consisting of two blocks that are tied together is attached to a spring. The systems are all at rest, and all of the springs are stretched by the same amount. The blocks on the horizontal surface are all identical, but the masses of the blocks on the inclined surfaces and the spring constants of the springs vary as shown in the figures. There may be friction between the blocks and the surfaces.

- A block of mass 2.9 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at the bottom that has a spring constant of 470 N/m (refer to the figure). The angle of the ramp with respect to the horizontal is 13°. a) The block, starting from rest, slides down the ramp a distance 54 cm before hitting the spring. How far, in centimeters, is the spring compressed as the block comes to momentary rest? b) After the block comes to rest, the spring pushes the block back up the ramp. How fast, in meters per second, is the block moving right after it comes off the spring? c) What is the change of the gravitational potential energy, in joules, between the original position of the block at the top of the ramp and the position of the block when the spring is fully compressed?arrow_forwardThe system is released from rest with no slack in the cable and with the spring unstretched. Determine the distances traveled by the 4.5-kg cart before it comes to rest (a) if m approaches zero and (b) if m= 2.8 kg. Assume no mechanical interference and no friction.

This is all done on an inclined plane where there is friction (μs = 0.65 and μk = 0.36), and the incline angle is 0 = 30 degrees. Everything starts at rest, and the spring is unstretched.
