SOLUTION: A 3-kg object is released from rest at a height of 5m on a curved frictionless ramp. At the foot of the ramp is a spring of force constant k=100/Nm. The object slides down the ramp

Question 422431: A 3-kg object is released from rest at a height of 5m on a curved frictionless ramp. At the foot of the ramp is a spring of force constant k=100/Nm. The object slides down the ramp and into the spring, compressing is a distance x before coming to rest.
(a)Find x.
(b)Does the object continue to move after it comes to rest? If yes, how high will it go up the slope before it comes to rest?
