A small 0.40−kg box is launched from rest by a horizontal spring as shown in the figure below. The block slides on a track down a hill and comes to rest at a distance d from the base of the hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the track is 0.40 along the entire track. The spring has a spring constant of 32.5 N/m and is compressed 30.0 cm with the box attached. The block remains on the track at all times. (a) What would you include in the system? Explain your choice. This answer has not been graded yet. (b) Calculate d. m (c) Compare your answer with a similar situation where the inclined part of the track is frictionless.
