Homework Statement
A horizontal spring with a spring constant of 200.0 N/m is compressed 25.0 cm and used to launch a 3.00 kg block across a frictionless surface. After the block travels some distance, the block goes up a 32 degree incline that has a coefficient of friction of 0.25 between the block and the surface of the incline. How far along the incline does the block go before stopping?
Homework Equations
motion equations
f=-ks
f=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
i tried taking the force of the spring at .25m compression which is 50N times sin32 to account for incline i got 26.5N, minus the force of the friction which i got as 6.23 so a total force of 20.27 divided by the mass gives acceleration of 6.76. Then i was not able to use a motion equation to find a distance up the incline
