Conservation of energy -- Using a spring to launch a ball up an incline
I would agree on the rest, but not an option lately. If I do not convert N/cm to N/m the answer is still not correct. I'm all out of attempts on this one. Thank you for the insight- tootired

Conservation of energy -- Using a spring to launch a ball up an incline
Ei = 1/2 K (x)^ 2 K = .0152N/m x = .0375 m Ei = 1.06x10^-5 Ef= 1/2mv2 + mgh m = .164kg, v is unknown, h is .0375sin(8.3)=.00541, Ef set equal to Ei 1.06x10^-5=1/2(.164kg)(v^2)+ (.164kg)(9.8)(.00541) v = .3254m/s I have gotten this answer multiple times but it is not correct. I am going...- tootired
