A small box with mass 0.600 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of an incline that slopes upward at 37.0° above the horizontal. The other end of the spring is attached to a wall. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface of the incline is mk = 0.400. The spring is released and the box travels up the incline, leaving the spring behind. What minimum elastic potential energy must be stored initially in the spring if the box is to travel 2.00 m from its initial position to the top of the incline?

The Slingshot is a ride for two people. It consists of a single passenger cage, two towers, and two elastic bands. Potential energy is stored in the elastic bands and the passenger cage is released. On the way up, this potential energy in the elastic bands is converted into the kinetic energy of the cage. At the maximum height of the ride, the energy has been converted into gravitational potential energy of the cage. The slingshot has two towers of height h = 71 m. The towers are a distance d = 31 m apart. Each elastic band has an unstretched length of L0 = 42 m and a spring constant of k = 295 N/m. The total mass of the passengers and cage is m = 395 kg. The car is pulled down to the ground in the middle of the two towers.
