A \(2.0\ \text{kg}\) block is released from rest at the top of a rough inclined plane that is \(5.0\ \text{m}\) long and makes an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is \(0.20\). At the bottom of the plane the block compresses a horizontal spring of spring constant \(k = 800\ \text{N m}^{-1}\). (a) Find the speed of the block just before it contacts the spring. (b) Determine the maximum compression of the spring.

Answer Options

A. v ≈ 4.80 m·s⁻¹, maximum compression x ≈ 0.210 m
B. v ≈ 5.10 m·s⁻¹, maximum compression x ≈ 0.250 m
Correct Answer C. v ≈ 5.66 m·s⁻¹, maximum compression x ≈ 0.283 m
D. v ≈ 6.30 m·s⁻¹, maximum compression x ≈ 0.350 m
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
v ≈ 5.66 m·s⁻¹, maximum compression x ≈ 0.283 m
