Question

A 1.5 kg mass compresses a spring with spring constant 1750 N/m by a distance 0.4 m . The spring is released and launches the mass up a frictionless ramp onto a table of height 0.4 m . The table has a rough surface with coefficient of friction 0.3. After the mass has travelled 4 m on the table, what is the speed of the mass?

Step 1

4 m. Given: Mass (m) = 1.5 kg Spring constant (k) = 1750 N/m Compression distance (x) = 0.4 m Potential energy stored in the spring (PE) = 0.5 * k * x^2 PE = 0.5 * 1750 * (0.4)^2 PE = 0.5 * 1750 * 0.16 PE = 140 Joules Show more…
