Let's say we have a spring with a constant of K= 300 N/m and this spring is attached to the incline at the top making an angle of θ=44.0° with the horizontal. Now, after we have this problem, there is a projectile that has a mass of 1 kg that is pointing up the plane. The initial position of this projectile is d = 1.3 m and it is from the end 0f a uncompressed spring. Answer the following questions: Let’s say the incline has no friction at all and given the kinetic energy for the projectile is 15 J. How much c0mpression will the spring receive? Let's say we have a coefficient of friction = 0.300 and the spring will have to c0mpress 1.10 the instant the projectile stops..in order for this to happen, what should be the initial speed of the projectile?
