    A physics student pulls a block of mass
    A physics student pulls a block of mass m = 22 kg up an incline at a slow constant velocity for a distance of d = 3 m. The incline makes an angle q = 29° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined plane is ľk = 0.3.

    WORKdone=479.15

    b)What is the speed v of the block when it first reaches the horizontal surface?
    v=sqrt(2.g.h-u.g.cos (Q))
    is that right but what is h?
    3*sin 29?

    c)What is the spring constant k of the spring?
    d)How far up the incline d1 does the block rebound?

    Thank you

    The first part looks good - that's the sum of the work done against friction plus the work against gravity.

    Part b - what horizontal surface? Is there a figure? Your equation for v does not look right - how did you get that? Are you trying to figure out the velocity of the block if you let it slide back down hill?

    Part C - what spring? Again - you need to include a figure or better description.
