5) A cart is launched from a compressed spring on a track as illustrated. The spring's neutral position is at elevation zero (0). The cart has a mass of 40 kg. The spring constant is k = 300 N/m. The spring starts at a compression of 7m from its neutral state. a) Find the velocity of the cart as it leaves the spring. b) Find the velocity of the cart at the top of the first hill, the top of the second hill and at the end of the track if the cart is frictionless. c) What is the minimum spring compression that will enable the cart to get to the end of the track? 18.5m 14m spring neutial

5) A cart is launched from a compressed spring on a track as illustrated. The spring's neutral
position is at elevation zero (0). The cart has a mass of 40 kg. The spring constant is k = 300
N/m. The spring starts at a compression of 7m from its neutral state.
a) Find the velocity of the cart as it leaves the spring.
b) Find the velocity of the cart at the top of the first hill, the top of the second hill and at the
end of the track if the cart is frictionless.
c) What is the minimum spring compression that will enable the cart to get to the end of the
track?
18.5m
