In the figure below, a horizontal spring is used to launch an object towards an incline. Assume that there is no friction. The spring constant is 40.0 N/m. The object has mass 0.50 kg. The incline is 30.0∘ to the horizontal. The spring is compressed 0.20 m, then the block is released. After leaving the spring, the object travels horizontally a short distance before reaching the incline. (a) Determine the initial speed of the block just before reaching the incline. (b) After travelling 0.10 metres along (parallel to) the incline, what is the speed of the object? (c) Determine the maximum distance along the incline the block travels before it stops and reverses direction.

A block, whose mass is 0.620 kg, is attached to a spring with a force constant of 128 N/m. The block rests upon a frictionless, horizontal surface (shown in the figure below). The block is pulled to the right a distance A = 0.120 m from its equilibrium position (the vertical dashed line) and held motionless. The block is then released from rest. (a) At the instant of release, what is the magnitude of the spring force (in N) acting upon the block? N (b) At that very instant, what is the magnitude of the block's acceleration (in m/s2 )? m/s2 (c) In what direction does the acceleration vector point at the instant of release? Away from the equilibrium position (i. e. , to the right in the figure). The direction is not defined (i.e., the acceleration is zero). Toward the equilibrium position (i.e., to the left in the figure). You cannot tell without more information.
