El paquete de 50 lb que se muestra en la figura parte desde el reposo, se desliza hacia abajo sobre la rampa y es detenido por el resorte. El coeficiente de fricción cinético entre el paquete y la rampa es μk = 0.12. Si se desea que el paquete llegue al reposo a pulgadas del punto de contacto, que valor debe tener la constante k del resorte?.

explanation:

the masses of the objects and the distance between them

where are the vectors ?

thermal energy is the answer

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
