1. Energy Conservation A 0.100-kg toy car is launched from a spring that is initially displaced 5.00-cm. The car then travels through diameter 30.0-cm before going а loop of up a gradual hill and stopping at maximum height. Neglect а friction. (a) What is the minimum spring constant to ensure the car goes through the loop? (b) Assuming the spring constant is twice the minimum value, how high does the car climb after the loop?
