Question: A 2 2 1 g block is moving on a frictionless surface at angle = 3 2 as shown in Figure 1 . It hits

A 221g block is moving on a frictionless surface at angle =32 as shown in Figure 1. It
hits a spring of spring constant k=1.2Ncm and the block compresses the spring 10.5cm
before coming momentarily to rest. Over the distance the spring is compressed, how much
work is done by
a) the force of gravity and
b) the spring?
c) What was the speed of the block just before it hit the spring?
d) If the surface is not frictionless, but instead has a coefficient of friction of k=.12, find
the new answer to c).
