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.

A 4.30 kg block is released from point A in the figure below. The track is frictionless except for the portion between points B and C, which has a length of 6.00 m. The block travels down the track, hits a spring (with a spring constant of 2210 N/m ), and compresses the spring 19 cm from its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily. a. What is the potential energy of the system at point A? (2) b. What is the potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed by 19 cm? (2) c. How much non-conservative work was done by the system? (2) d. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction, μk, between the block and the rough surface. (3) e. What happened to the lost mechanical energy? (1) (B) (c)

At point A in the figure shown below, a spring with spring constant 1000 N/m is compressed 50.0 cm by a 2.00 kg block. When released the block travels over the frictionless track until it is launched into the air at point B, and it lands at point C. The inclined part of the track makes an angle of θ = 55.0∘ with the horizontal and point B is a height h = 4.50 m above the ground. a. With what speed does the block leave the ramp at point B? (10 points) b. What is the maximum height reached by the block after it leaves the ramp? Be careful! The speed is not zero at the highest point. (10 points) c. With what speed does the block land at point C? (10 points)
