A block of mass m is located on an inclined plane that makes an angle with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined plane is μ₁. The block presses against, but is not attached to, a spring with constant k₁. When the spring is at its equilibrium position, the block is at a height h above the ground, as shown. The initial position of the block, from which it is released, is a bit further up the inclined plane such that the spring is initially compressed by Ax. At the bottom of the inclined plane is a horizontal plane with a different coefficient of friction, μ2, for the first distance, d, after which the surface is frictionless, and the equilibrium position of a spring with constant k₂ is encountered. Part (a) Suppose that numeric values are such that block comes to rest before reaching the the ramp. Let x distance traveled from the equilibrium position of the block towards the bottom of the ramp. Enter an expression for x. Part (b) Suppose…

A 1120-kg car is being driven up a 7.03 ° hill. The frictional force is directed opposite to the motion of the car and has a magnitude of 490 N. A force F is applied to the car by the road and propels the car forward. In addition to these two forces, two other forces act on the car: its weight W and the normal force FN directed perpendicular to the road surface. The length of the road up the hill is 281 m. What should be the magnitude of F, in Newtons, so that the net work done by all the forces acting on the car is 188 kJ?
To measure the static friction coefficient between a 1.40-kg block and a vertical wall, a spring (k = 770 N/m) is attached to the block, is pushed on the end in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward (see figure). If the spring is compressed by 0.048 m, what is the coefficient of static friction?
a 2 kg weight is fasten to a spring on an inclined plane. It has a spring constant of 20 N/m. When the spring is relaxed, the mass sits at the bottom of the incline. It is compressed 0.25 m from its relaxed position, and the weight is released. It goes down the incline, to the horizontal surface and up a second, identical incline. If there were kinetic friction between the weight and the right incline, but none between the weight and the left incline, what would be the coefficient of kinetic friction μk so the maximum height reachable is the same as the starting position (i.e. d=0.25m).
A 2.00 kg mass on a frictionless incline plane of angle 6 degrees is released and begins sliding down the incline. At the bottom of the incline is a spring (k=70 N/m). If the mass slides 0.30 m along the incline plane before it contacts the spring, how far is the spring compressed by the mass? (round to the nearest hundredth)
A block with a mass 3.7 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at rhe bottom that has a spring constant of 540 N/m. The angle of the ramp in respect to the horizontal is 36 degrees. 1) the block starts from rest and slides down the ramp a distance of 69cm before hitting the spring. how far is the spring compressed as the block comes to momentary rest? 2) after the block comes to rest the spring pushes the block back up the ramp. how fast is the block moving right after it comes off the spring. 3) what is the change in gravitational potential energy between the original positiion of the block at the top of the ramp and the position of the block when the spring is fully compressed?

A block with mass m = 2.20 kg is placed against a spring on a frictionless incline with angle e = 30.0°. (The block is not attached to the spring.) The spring, with spring constant k = 21.0 N/cm, is compressed 17.0 cm and then released. (a) What is the elastic potential energy of the compressed spring? (b) What is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the block-Earth system as the block moves from the release point to its highest point on the incline?

In order to stop a 15.0 kilogram block from sliding down a frictionless 40.0° incline, a powerful spring with k = 2.90 104 N/m is used. Blocks can travel up to 3.00 meters after they are released from their resting place against springs. How much of the spring's original tension will remain after the block comes to a halt?
A 2.0 Kg block situated on a rough inclined plane is connected to spring of negligible mass having a spring constant of 100 N/m. The pulley is frictionless. The block is released from rest when the spring is unstretched. The block moves 20.0 cm down the incline before coming to rest.
