Thanks for the post, it has helped me in understanding this topic.

thanks for your post by the way it has really helped me alot in studying for this Physics 211 class exam,( physics with calc)

Very understandable bruh

how would you approach this question if they asked "how far up the ramp is the block when its acceleration is 0.0 m/s^2 " ? is it essentially the same question ? we were also given the relaxed spring length.

Have a question, a car of mass 211kg descends a hill of slope 1 and 5. Calculate using an energy method, the average braking force required to bring the car car to rest from 82km/h in 30m. The frictional to motion is 350N.

I have a question. If I don't have the v1 so how to solve this problem?
