Okay so I am attempting to do this using Conservation of Energy, and I know my GPE is 294.3J, and using the information provided for the spring I found the spring's Mechanical Potential Energy to be 101.25J. Since that is the energy of the spring on the bottom and the block was able to compress...
Homework Statement
A 10.0-kg block is released from rest on a quarter pipe 3.00m high. The track is frictionless except for a length (6.00m). The block travels down this track and hits a spring of force constant 2,250 N/m, and compresses the spring 0.300m from its equilibrium position before...
