Question
A 2.55 kg ball is pushed against a horizontal spring whose force constant is 1017 N/m, compressing the spring to x=0.293 m. When the system is released, the ball traveled along the horizontal surface whose coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.277 and then up a frictionless plane inclined at Ɵ=29.2° above the horizontal. If the ball has reached a distance of d=1.27 m along the plane before sliding back downwards, how far did the ball travel the moment it leaves the spring until it reached the bottom of the inclined?
