the app your on now is great and can ask anything
The springs stored energy is transferred to the cube as kinetic energy and then by the slop the KE is converted to height energy.
<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = 0.5 . m . v^2 = m . g . ∆h </span>
<span>0.5 . 50 . (0.1^2) = 0.05 . 9.8 . ∆h </span>
<span>∆h = 0.51 m = 51 cm </span>
<span>This is the height gained </span>
<span>Distance along the slope = ∆h / sin 60 = 0.589 = 59 cm </span>
<span>In the second case, the stored spring energy is converted into height energy AND frictional heat energy. </span>
<span>The height energy is m . g . d sin 60 where d is the distance the cube moves along the slope. </span>
<span>The Frictional energy converted is F . d </span>
<span>F ( the frictional force ) = µ . N </span>
<span>N ( the reaction to the component of the gravity force perpendicular to the surface of the slope ) = m . g . cos60 </span>
<span>Total energy converted </span>
<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = (m . g . dsin60) + (µ . m . g . cos60 . d ) </span>
<span>Solve for d </span>
<span>d = 0.528 = 53 cm</span>
