Physics

(a) A 2 kg object is at the base of a 35° incline, initially atrest, and sits on top of a spring (k = 240 N/m) which is parallelto the inline. The spring is compressed 0.40 m from its equilibriumposition and then released, propelling the object up the incline.While the object slides it experiences a frictional force of 2.00N. Diagram this situation below. Remember to include coordinateaxes.

(b) Apply conservation of energy to determine the speed of theobject at the moment the spring reaches equilibrium. Explain allterms. If any terms equal zero explain why.

(c) Apply conservation of energy to determine how far up theincline the object will reach (above the spring’s equilibriumposition). Explain all terms. If any terms equal zero explainwhy.

(d) Apply conservation of energy to determine how much thespring will compress in stopping the object as it slides back downthe incline. Explain all terms. If any terms equal zero explainwhy.
