Question: A spring with a force constant of 51 N/m is compressed by 1.2 cm in a hockey game machine. The compressed spring is used to accelerate a small metal puck with a mass of 71.2 grams which will then slide up an inclined surface inside the machine. Assume friction is so tiny it may be ignored in this problem. How high in cm above its initial vertical position will the puck rise before stopping (momentarily at least)? Note: Convert units as necessary.
