a A 15 0 kg block is released from rest at point A in the figure below The track is frictionless except for the portion between points B and C which has a length of 6 00 m The block travels down the track hits a spring of force constant 2 200 N m and compresses the spring 0 250 m from its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface between points B and C 3 00 m Yes No A S B 6 00 m b What If The spring now expands forcing the block back to the left Does the block reach point B C If the block does reach point B how far up the curved portion of the track does it reach and if it does not how far short of point B does the block come to a stop Enter your answer in m
