In a pinball machine, a ball of mass 120 gram is placed in front of a horizontal spring of spring constant k = 90 N/m. The spring is pulled so that it squeezes by x = 5 cm, and then let go. The ball then rises up a ramp. Assume no rotation of the ball, what will be the speed of the ball when it has travelled L = 63 cm along the incline. The ramp is at an angle of θ = 8 degrees. Ignore friction.

In a pinball machine, a ball of mass 120 gram is placed in front of a horizontal spring of spring constant k = 90 N / m . The spring is pulled so that it squeezes by x = 5 c m , and then let go. The ball then rises up a ramp. Assume no rotation of the ball, what will be the speed of the ball when it has travelled L = 63 c m along the incline. The ramp is at an angle of θ = 8 degrees. Ignore friction.
