- In the figure, a 2.6 kg block is accelerated from rest by a compressed spring of spring constant 660 N/m. The block leaves the spring at the spring's relaxed length and then travels over a horizontal floor with a coefficient of kinetic friction -0.272. The frictional force stops the block in distance D 7.9 m. What are (a) the increase in the thermal energy of the block-floor system, (b) the maximum kinetic energy of the block, and (c) the original compression distance of the spring? DURRES No frictionA spring is compressed 0.100 m and launches a 3.25 kg object across frictionless ice. After some distance, the object hits a rough patch of ice where the coefficient of kinetic friction of the object on the surface is 0.200. If the spring constant of the spring is 137 N/m, find the distance the object travels across the rough patch of ice using work and energy.A spring with constant k=200 N/m is fixed to the top of an incline that makes an angle of 40.0 degrees with the horizontal. A projectile with mass 1.10 kg is projected up the plane, form an initial horizontal position that is d from the end of the uncompessed spring. a) If the incline is frictionless and the initial kinetic energy of the projectile is 17.0 J, how much will the spring be compressed? b) If there is a coefficient of friction of 0.200 and the spring must compress by 1.50 cm at the moment when the projectile stops (say, to trigger an event like a switch) then what must the initial speed of the projectile be? All other conditions are same as in the setup.
