Question
A block of mass 2.0 kg is attached to a spring whose spring constant is = 8 N/m. The
block slides on an incline with θ = 37o
. The block starts at rest with the spring unstretched
before sliding down a distance of 0.5 m down the incline. Assume that µk = 0.20.
What is the velocity of the block as soon as it slides 0.5 m down the incline?
