The spring shown in FIGURE P10.54 is compressed 50 cm and used to launch a 100 kg

Question:

The spring shown in FIGURE P10.54 is compressed 50 cm and used to launch a 100 kg physics student. The track is frictionless until it starts up the incline. The student??s coefficient of kinetic friction on the 30? incline is 0.15.

imagea. What is the student??s speed just after losing contact with the spring?b. How far up the incline does the student go?

I have a teaching experience of more than 4 years by now in diverse subjects like History,Geography,Political Science,Sociology,Business Enterprise,Economics,Environmental Management etc.I teach students from classes 9-12 and undergraduate students.I boards I handle are IB,IGCSE, state boards,ICSE, CBSE.I am passionate about teaching.Full satisfaction of the students is my main goal. I have completed my graduation and master's in history from Jadavpur University Kolkata,India in 2012 and I have completed my B.Ed from the same University in 2013. I have taught in a reputed school of Kolkata (subjects-History,Geography,Civics,Political Science) from 2014-2016.I worked as a guest lecturer of history in a college of Kolkata for 2 years teaching students of 1st ,2nd and 3rd year. I taught Ancient and Modern Indian history there.I have taught in another school in Mohali,Punjab teaching students from classes 9-12.Presently I am working as an online tutor with concept tutors,Bangalore,India(Carve Niche Pvt.Ltd.) for the last 1year and also have been appointed as an online history tutor by Course Hero(California,U.S) and Vidyalai.com(Chennai,India).

Static friction and kinetic friction are two types of friction that occur when two objects are in contact with each other. Static friction is the force that must be overcome to initiate motion between two surfaces that are in contact with each other but are not moving relative to each other. It is caused by the interlocking of rough surfaces at the microscopic level, and it increases as the force pushing the surfaces together increases. Once motion between the surfaces starts, the static friction is no longer present. Kinetic friction, also known as sliding friction, is the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces that are in contact with each other and are moving relative to each other. It is caused by the rubbing of the surfaces against each other and the resistance of the molecules in the surfaces to being moved. Kinetic friction is generally less than static friction, but it can still be a significant force, especially at high speeds. Both static and kinetic friction can be quantified using a coefficient of friction, which is a dimensionless number that represents the ratio of the frictional force between two surfaces to the normal force (the force perpendicular to the surfaces). The coefficient of static friction is typically greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction for a given pair of surfaces, because it takes more force to overcome the interlocking of the surfaces at rest than to maintain motion once it has started.
