A 500-g block is released from rest and slides down a frictionless track that begins 2.26 m above the horizontal, as shown in the figure below. At the bottom of the track, where the surface is horizontal, the block strikes and sticks to a light spring with a spring constant of 29.5 N/m. Find the maximum distance the spring is compressed.
m

A 500-g block rests at the top of a track on a horizontal platform. From this platform, the track goes down and to the right, and ends at another horizontal platform. The vertical distance between the platforms is h. At the end of a track is a spring with spring constant k. The right end of the spring is attached to a wall, and the left end of the spring is unattached.

A.Your mass m=11 kg block slides down a frictionless ramp having angle theta=0.51 radians to the horizontal. After sliding down the ramp a distance L=16 m the block encounters a spring of spring constant k=551 N/m. The spring is parallel to the ramp. Use g=9.74 m/s/s for the acceleration of gravity. Calculate the maximum compression of the spring, in meters. Include labeled diagrams showing the initial and final configurations, and a discussion of the solution method based on energy conservation....
