Chelsea is pushing a 5.0 kg resting block with 150 N of force, which is directed 20 degrees above the horizon. Chelsea let go of the block after pushing it for 2.0 m. Then the block slides on the track and compresses the huge spring at the right end. The spring constant is 3000 N/m. There is no friction.
a) Find the work done on the block
b) find the maximum compression of the spring when the mass is stopped
Work energy theorem and conservation of energy is used for solving the question . No losses have been taken as the question doesn't mention any friction .
