An engineer is designing a small toy car that a spring will launch from rest along a racetrack. She wants to maximize the kinetic energy of the toy car when it launches from the end of a compressed spring onto the track, but she can make only a slight adjustment to the initial conditions of the car. The speed of the car just as it moves away from the spring onto the track is called the launch speed. Which of the following modifications to the car design would have the greatest effect on increasing the kinetic energy of the car?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
