A spring with a spring constant of 1730 N/m is compressed 0.136 m from its equilibrium position with an object having a mass of 1.72 kg. The spring is released and the object moves along a frictionless surface when it reaches a small embankment. If the speed of the object is 2.45 m/s at location A, what is the embankment height h

Given :

A spring with a spring constant of 1730 N/m is compressed 0.136 m from its equilibrium position with an object having a mass of 1.72 kg.

To Find :

The embankment in the height.

Solution :

Since no external force is acting in the system, therefore total energy will be conserved.

Initial kinetic energy of the object = Energy stored in spring

Also, initial potential energy is 0.

Now,

Therefore, the embankment height is 0.64 m.

explanation:

newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
