Question

A 4.00 kg mass on a frictionless incline plane of angle 1 degrees is released and begins sliding down the incline. At the bottom of the incline is a spring (k=20 N/m) If the mass slides 0.10 m along the incline plane before it contacts the spring, how far is the spring compressed by the mass? (round to the nearest hundredth)


How would the length of the spring compression change if there was friction between the incline plane and the mass?

- The spring would be compressed the same length?

-The spring would be compressed more?

-The spring would be compressed less?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:-

The mass of the block is m = 4.0 kg 

The plane of inclination with the angle of 10

The spring constant k = 20 N/m 

The mass slides 0.10 m along the inclined plane before it contacts the spring,

Find:- 

a) how far is the spring compressed by the mass?

b) How would the length of the spring compression change if there was friction between the inclined plane and the mass?

  1. - The spring would be compressed at the same length?
  2. -The spring would be compressed more?
  3. -The spring would be compressed less?
