Increasing the angle of inclination of the plane decreases the velocity of the block as it leaves the spring.
- The statement that indicates how the relationship between <em>v</em> and <em>x</em> changes is;<u> As </u><u><em>x</em></u><u> increases, </u><u><em>v</em></u><u> increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of </u><u><em>v</em></u><u> will be less for the same value of </u><u><em>x</em></u><u>.</u>
Reasons:
The energy given to the block by the spring =
According to the principle of conservation of energy, we have;
On a flat plane, energy given to the block = = kinetic energy of
block =
Therefore;
0.5·k·x² = 0.5·m·v²
Which gives;
x² ∝ v²
x ∝ v
On a plane inclined at an angle θ, we have;
The energy of the spring =
- The force of the weight of the block on the string,
The energy given to the block = = The kinetic energy of block as it leaves the spring =
Which gives;
Which is of the form;
a·x² - b = c·v²
a·x² + c·v² = b
Where;
a, b, and <em>c</em> are constants
The graph of the equation a·x² + c·v² = b is an ellipse
Therefore;
- As <em>x</em> increases, <em>v</em> increases, however, the value of <em>v</em> obtained will be lesser than the same value of <em>x</em> as when the block is on a flat plane.

<em>The possible question options are;</em>
- <em>As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x</em>
- <em>The relationship is no longer linear and v will be more for the same value of x</em>
- <em>The relationship is still linear, with lesser value of v</em>
- <em>The relationship is still linear, with higher value of v</em>
- <em>The relationship is still linear, but vary inversely, such that as x increases, v decreases</em>
