Hey yall--I'm reviewing spring constants and want to check my answers to the following questions:
A block of mass m is released on a frictionless ramp with a spring of spring constant K below. You are to use energy as in E=1/2kx^2.
a) How fast is the block going when it exits the ramp?
b) How far is the spring compressed?
3) How high will the block slide by the ramp after the spring pushes the block away.
