A block of mass m is located on an inclined plane that makes an angle with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined plane is μ₁. The block presses against, but is not attached to, a spring with constant k₁. When the spring is at its equilibrium position, the block is at a height h above the ground, as shown. The initial position of the block, from which it is released, is a bit further up the inclined plane such that the spring is initially compressed by Ax. At the bottom of the inclined plane is a horizontal plane with a different coefficient of friction, μ2, for the first distance, d, after which the surface is frictionless, and the equilibrium position of a spring with constant k₂ is encountered. Part (a) Suppose that numeric values are such that block comes to rest before reaching the the ramp. Let x distance traveled from the equilibrium position of the block towards the bottom of the ramp. Enter an expression for x. Part (b) Suppose…

Part 1. A 3 kg package of tamales (see the figure below) slides along a floor with speed v1 = 5 m/s. It then runs into and compresses a spring, until the package momentarily stops. Its path to the initiallyrelaxed spring is frictionless, but as it compresses the spring, a kinetic frictional force from the floor, of magnitude 15 N, acts on the package. If k = 8 000 N/m, by what distance d is the spring compressed when the package stops? What makes up the system in this problem and state a reasonable assumption about this system? Consider the following for a rotational motion:r = 6 m, θ = 0.5t2, where t is in seconds and θ is in radians.Find the magnitudes of (a) tangential acceleration at t = 4 s, and (b) radial acceleration at t = 4 s.[1+1]
A block of mass m 8.2 kg slides on a rough surface and moves toward a spring with a spring constant k = 1874 N/m, as shown in the figure below. When the block is d = 17.4m away from the spring, it has a velocity of v. At the instant the block momentarily stops, it has compressed the spring by x = 30 cm. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface below is u = 0.37, what is the block's velocity, v =? Provide your answer in units of m/s using one decimal place.

In starting a game of pinball, the 44.7 g ball rests on a spring, of spring constant k = 18.8 N/m, that has been compressed by 0.0900 m. If the spring is released, how far up the pinball table (which is inclined at 39.0°) does the ball go before rolling back down again? You can assume it doesn't hit any obstacles on the way up.
A glider with mass m = 0.240 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track, connected to a spring with force constant k = 4.70 N/m . You pull on the glider, stretching the spring 0.110 m , and then release it with no initial velocity. The glider begins to move back toward its equilibrium position (x=0). What must the initial displacement of the glider be if its maximum speed in the subsequent motion is to be 2.40 m/s ?
Two blocks with masses 0.342 kg (A) and 0.719 kg (B) sit on a frictionless surface.

The pulley system below consists of two masses connected by a string of negligible mass through a massless pulley. A spring with constant k is placed so that its equilibrium position is located a distance h below the bottom of mass m2. There is no friction either in the pulley, or between the surfaces of the masses and the platform. When the two masses m₁ and m2 are released from rest, mass m2 begins falling and pulls mass m₁ up the ramp. Find an expression for the maximum compression of the spring d caused by mass m2 when it hits the spring. Your answer should be in terms of the variables given (and g). m2 MW my 0
