An object of mass
10kg
is released at point
A
, slides to the bottom of the
30\deg
incline, then collides with a horizontal massless spring, compressing it a maximum distance of
0.75m
. The spring constant is
500(N)/(m)
, the height of the incline is
2.0m
, and the horizontal surface is frictionless. a. What is the speed of the object at the bottom of the incline? b. What is the work of friction on the object while it is on the incline? c. The spring recoils and sends the object back toward the incline. What is the speed of the object when it reaches the base of the incline?
