Answer:
Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.
Potential energy loss:
M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J
Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:
= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J
Answer:
0.5 m
14.00595
8 m/s, 0.0625 s
5.71314 m/s
Explanation:
k = Spring constant = 128 N/m
A = Amplitude
E = Energy in spring = 16 J
Energy in spring is given by

The amplitude is 0.5 m
Time period is given by

Number of oscillations is given by

The number of oscillations is 14.00595
For maximum speed

The maximum speed is 8 m/s
For a distance of 0.5 m which is the amplitude

The time taken would be 0.0625 s
The maximum kinetic energy is equal to the mechanical energy

At x = 0.35 m

The speed of the block is 5.71314 m/s
It looks like when the object is in "freefall".
