Chapter 9, Problem 51PQ
A small 0.65-kg box is launched from rest by a horizontal spring as shown in Figure P9.50. The block slides on a track down a hill and comes to rest at a distance d from the base of the hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the track is 0.35 along the entire track. The spring has a spring constant of 34.5 N/m, and is compressed 30.0 cm with the box attached. The block remains on the track at all times.
a. What would you include in the system? Explain your choice.
b. Calculate d.
c. Compare your answer with your answer to Problem 50 if you did that problem.
