Randall D. Knight β Interactions and Potential Energy: Problem 48
A horizontal spring with a spring constant of $120\text{ N/m}$ is compressed $30\text{ cm}$ and used to launch a $2.4\text{ kg}$ box across a frictionless, horizontal surface. After the box travels some distance, the surface becomes rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on the surface is $0.15$. Use the equations for work and energy to find how far the box slides across the rough surface before stopping.
