Question: A block is pushed against a spring with a spring constant of k = 1 2 . 0 N / cm , compressing it some

A block is pushed against a spring with a spring constant of k =12.0 N/cm, compressing it
some distance d =4. cm. When the block is released, it moves along a frictionless, horizontal
surface and then up a frictionless incline with slope 370. After being released, the block moves
to the right, and then it travels 4.8 m along the surface of the incline before pausing and then
sliding back down. (Acceleration due to gravity is g =9.8 m/s2)
What is the mass of the block?
What is the speed of the block when it collides with the spring after sliding back down
the incline?
