(a) A 15.0 kg block is released from rest at point A in the figure below. The track is frictionless except for the portion between points B and which has a length of 6.00 m. The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2,200 N/m, and compresses the spring 0.250 m from its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface between points B and C. 3.00 m B -6.00 m- m C (b) What If? The spring now expands, forcing the block back to the left. Does the block reach point B? O Yes No If the block does reach point B, how far up the curved portion of the track does it reach, and if it does not, how far short of point B does the block come to a stop?

A block of mass, m = 0.5 kg is used to compress a spring with a spring con- 78.4 N/m a distance x from it's resting point. The block is then stant, k released and travels towards a circular loop of radius, R = 1.5 m. The loop and the surface as frictionless except for the region, of length 2.5 m, defined by AB which has a coefficient of friction, µk = 0.3.

A block with a mass 3.7 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at rhe bottom that has a spring constant of 540 N/m. The angle of the ramp in respect to the horizontal is 36 degrees. 1) the block starts from rest and slides down the ramp a distance of 69cm before hitting the spring. how far is the spring compressed as the block comes to momentary rest? 2) after the block comes to rest the spring pushes the block back up the ramp. how fast is the block moving right after it comes off the spring. 3) what is the change in gravitational potential energy between the original positiion of the block at the top of the ramp and the position of the block when the spring is fully compressed?
