A box with 15 kg of mass slides down an inclined plane that is 1.9 m high and 3.7 m along the inclined plane. Due to friction the box reaches 4.7 m/s at the bottom of the inclined plane. Beyond the inclined plane lies a spring with 500 N/m constant. It is fixed at its right end. The level ground between the incline and the spring has no friction When the box is temporarily stopped by the spring, how much is the spring compressed in m? Hint: start from the bottom of the inclined plane since you know the speed of the box there. Not all values must be used.

Question

A box with 15 kg of mass slides down an inclined plane that is 1.9 m high and 3.7 m along the inclined plane. Due to friction the box reaches 4.7 m/s at the bottom of the inclined plane. Beyond the inclined plane lies a spring with 500 N/m constant. It is fixed at its right end. The level ground between the incline and the spring has no friction

When the box is temporarily stopped by the spring, how much is the spring compressed in m?

Hint: start from the bottom of the inclined plane since you know the speed of the box there. Not all values must be used.

Follow-up Question

A box with 8 kg of mass slides down an inclined plane that is 2.0 m high and 3.0 m along the inclined plane. Due to friction the box reaches 3.9 m/s at the bottom of the inclined plane. Beyond the inclined plane lies a spring with 450 N/m constant. It is fixed at its right end. The level ground between the incline and the spring has no friction

The box compressed the spring, got pushed back towards the incline by the spring. How far along the inclined plane, from the bottom, will

the box temporarily stop on the inclined plane?
