    Work and Energy Conservation, Need

    Homework Statement The spring in the figure has a spring constant of 1000 N/m. It is compressed 13.0 cm, then launches a 200 g block. The horizontal surface is frictionless, but the block's coefficient of kinetic friction on the incline is 0.220. What distance does the block sail through the...

    Mass on incline plane sliding into spring, need to find max compression

    Whoops! I guess I was so excited to have finally figured it out that I wrote the equation wrong lol. To verify mg(4+Xmax)sinθ=1/2k(Xmax)^2 So... 1/2k(Xmax)^2 - mgsinθ(Xmax) - mg4sinθ = 0 And then use quadratic equation to solve for Xmax?

    Mass on incline plane sliding into spring, need to find max compression

    Ohhhhhhhhh! So i should do: 1/2(4+Xmax)sinθ=1/2k(Xmax)^2 ?
