A block (m=5.0kg) is released from point A and it slides down the incline ( tex2html_wrap_inline48 = 30 degrees) where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3 It goes 5.0m and hits an ideal spring with a spring constant k=500 Newtons per meter. While it is being acted upon by the spring, assume it is on a frictionless surface.

a.
How far does the block go up the plane on the rebound from the spring?
b.
How far is the spring compressed?
