Question

A 5.0 kg mass is at rest at the top of a ramp that is inclined at 35° above the horizontal. The mass is initially 10.0 m above the ground and then slides down the ramp whose coefficient of static friction is 0.173. At the bottom, the mass strikes a spring whose force constant is 850 N/m. Assume the spring is compressed below ground level. By how much is the spring compressed when the mass has a speed of 9.5 m/s?

Step 1

- The gravitational potential energy is given by \( \text{GPE} = mgh \), where \( m = 5.0 \, \text{kg} \), \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), and \( h = 10.0 \, \text{m} \). - Calculate: \[ \text{GPE} = 5.0 \times 9.8 \times 10.0 = 490 \, \text{J} \] Show more…
