A spring is compressed so that when released it pushes a block across a frictionless surface. The block eventually comes to a frictionless ramp which it slides up until coming to a brief stop.
A) Energy Bar Charts: Fint the bolowing:
(The actual values do not matter but be sure to be consistent with the rollowing. each bar for all parts)
Draw energy bar charts for the system when the spring is compressed and held at rest.
b) Draw a force diagram and work bar chart for any work done to the system while the spring is decompressing to its normal state.
c) Draw energy bar charts for the system when the spring is fully decompressed and the block is sliding across the level surface.
w
Draw a force diagram and work bar chart for any work done to the system while the block slides up from the bottom of the ramp to a stop.
e) Draw energy bar charts for the system when the block is momentarily at rest at the top of the ramp
B) Write an equation for the following in terms of the spring constant (k), the spring deformation ( x ), the mass of the block ( m ), the angle of incline in the ramp () and any Andamental physical constants.
a) The velocity, vof the block after being launched from the spring
b) The net forre artinn on the hinek while elidine in the ramn
c) The distance, d, that the block will slide up the ramp before stopping
A spring is compressed so that when released it
