A block of mass m is placed on a horizontal track of negligible friction. The mass is pushed against a spring and released (the mass is not attached to the spring). The block then slides up a rough incline plane of coefficient of kinetic friction μ and angle θ = arctan⁡(3/4). Assuming the spring constant is k = 18 mg/h, what distance must the spring be compressed so that the block's maximum height is h? Express your result in terms of the given quantities and any numerical and physical constants.

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 block of mass m is released from rest and slides down a frictionless track of height h as is shown. At the bottom of the track, where the surface is horizontal, the block strikes and sticks to a light spring of force constant k. Determine an expression for the maximum distance the spring is compressed. NOTE: Express your answer in terms of m, h, k and any other relevant physical constants.

A block of mass m = 0.1 kg falls down a ramp of height h = 0.5 m and angle θ = 30 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is given by μ, which will vary throughout this problem. At the end of the ramp, the block slides along a frictionless horizontal surface until it makes contact with, and compresses, a mass-less spring with spring constant k = 1.0 N/m. Assume g = 9.81 m/s2. Determine the following:Assume the ramp is frictionless (i. e., μ = 0). What is the maximum distance that the spring will compress? What coefficient of kinetic friction, μ, will cause the spring to compress by exactly half the distance that it did when the ramp was frictionless? Using the value of the coefficient of friction found in part 2, when the spring pushes the block back towards the ramp, what is the maximum height that the block reaches?
