A 197-g block is pressed against a spring of force constant 1.62 kN/m until the block compresses the spring 10.0 cm. The spring rests at the bottom of a ramp inclined at 60.0∘ to the horizontal. Using energy considerations, determine how far up the incline the block moves from its initial position before it stops under the following conditions. (a) if the ramp exerts no friction force on the block (b) if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.460

A 1.425−kg block is resting against a light, compressed spring at the bottom of a rough plane inclined at an angle of 36.3∘; the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and plane is μk = 0.131. Suppose the spring is compressed 13.3 cm from its equilibrium length. The spring is then released, and the block separates from the spring and slides up the incline a distance of only 2.85 cm beyond the spring's normal length before it stops. a. Determine the change in total mechanical energy of the system. (Include a minus sign if necessary.) b. Determine the spring constant.

A spring with a spring constant of k = 161 N/m is initially compressed by a block a distance d = 0.33 m from its unstretched length. The block is on a horizontal surface with coefficients of static and kinetic friction μs and μk and has a mass of m = 10 kg. Refer to the figure. Part (a) The block is released from the initial position and begins to move to the right. Enter an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction in the configuration shown above, in terms of defined quantities and g. Part (b) Calculate the smallest value for the coefficient of static friction μs that would keep the block from moving. Part (c) Assuming the block has just begun to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2, what is the block's acceleration in meters per second squared? a =

A factory worker accidentally releases a 130 kg crate that was being held at rest at the top of a ramp that is 2.7 m long and inclined at 42∘ to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp, and between the crate and the horizontal factory floor, is 0.30. (a) How fast is the crate moving as it reaches the bottom of the ramp? (b) How far will it subsequently slide across the floor? (Assume that the crate's kinetic energy does not change as it moves from the ramp onto the floor.) (c) Do the answers to (a) and (b) increase, decrease, or remain the same if we halve the mass of the crate? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c)
