A spring (k = 600 N/m) is at the bottom of a frictionless plane that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. The upper end of the spring is depressed 0.10 m, and a 2.0-kg block is placed against the depressed spring. The system is then released from rest. What is the kinetic energy of the block at the instant it has traveled 0.10 m and the spring has returned to its uncompressed length?
a. 2.0 J b. 1.8 J c. 2.2 J d. 1.6 J e. 1.0 J
