A toy car whose body has a mass of 200 g has four ring-shaped wheels each with a mass of 25 g and a radius of 5 mm. The car is pushed 5 cm into a spring with a spring constant of 2000 N/m, and the car is released. After the car clears the spring, it then travels up a frictionless incline, so that the wheels spin at a constant rate while on the incline. Determine the maximum height that the toy car reaches on the incline.
the maximum height can be obtained as a function of omega square as follows,
-,
if omega is very small,one can ignore this term.
