A wooden block with mass 1.50 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of a slope inclined at an angle of 29.0 ∘ (point A). When the spring is released, it projects the block up the incline. At point B, a distance of 7.15 m up the incline from A, the block is moving up the incline at a speed of 7.50 m/s and is no longer in contact with the spring. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and incline is μk = 0.40. The mass of the spring is negligible.
Calculate the amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring.
Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s2m/s2 .
The answer is 130 J, But I want to know why the force of gravity that is parallel to the force of friction isn't included when calculating the work over the distance. I had originally thought that the W = (5.14N + 14.7sin(29)N)(7.15m)

A block of mass m = 3.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 520 N/m. It is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 21° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.16.

A 0.200 kg block of ice is placed against a horizontal, compressed spring mounted on a horizontal tabletop that is 1.10 m above the floor. The spring has force constant 1950 N/m and is initially compressed 0.045 m. The mass of the spring is negligible. The spring is released, and the block slides along the table, goes off the edge, and travels to the floor. If there is negligible friction between the block of ice and the tabletop, what is...
