A block of mass 500 g is attached to a spring of spring constant 80 N/m as shown below. The other end of the spring is attached to a support while the mass rests on a rough surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.20 that is inclined at angle of 30∘. The block is pushed along the surface till the spring compresses by 10 cm and is then released from rest. (a) How much potential energy was stored in the block-spring-support system when the block was just released? (b) Determine the speed of the block when it crosses the point when the spring is neither compressed nor stretched. (c) Determine the position of the block where it just comes to rest on its way up the incline. (15 points)

A box (mass = 100 g) is initially connected to a compressed (x = 80 cm) spring (k = 100 N/m) at point A. It was released and started moving along the horizontal surface ( μk = 0.20 ) until it moves up along the inclined surface ( μk = 0.30). The box then stops at point D alone the incline. Consider that from B to C the horizontal distance is 30 m and θ = 50∘. (a) What is the velocity of the box at point B? (b) What is the change in kinetic energy from point B to point C ? (c) What is the velocity of the box at point C? (d) What is the length of the incline, f ? (e) What is the change in gravitational potential energy from point C to point D?
