Question: A small glider is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of an air track that slopes upward at an angle of 3 8

A small glider is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of an air track that slopes upward at an angle of 38.0 above the horizontal. The glider has mass 9.00102 kgkg. The spring has 650 N/mN/m and negligible mass. When the spring is released, the glider travels a maximum distance of 1.60 mm along the air track before sliding back down. Before reaching this maximum distance, the glider loses contact with the spring.
