Please show all work!

A block of mass 237 g compresses a spring with a spring constant of k = 520. N/m a distance of 10.0 cm. The block is released. It travels across a frictionless surface and up a ramp where it comes to a stop.

a) What is the energy stored in the spring?
b) Use conservation of energy to determine how high the block goes.
c) If the ramp is inclined 30.0◦, what is the distance it travels up the ramp?

Answer 1

m = 237 37 g k=520 Nim Dol=10cm stored I K(92) ? a) Energy Lt * 520 (0:1) => 12.615 6 ) Conservation sining of energy 2-6 = mgh 2.6 (0.23 237) (9.8) h =) h .12 m c) o sing conservation of energy d Sino 2.6= mg 6,237)(9.8) (d) fin 300) 2.6 = d = 1.25m -
