Homework Statement
A 1.8kg block slides on a rough, horizontal surface. The block hits a spring with a speed of 2.0m/s and compresses it a distance of 0.11m before coming to rest. The coefficent of friction between the block and the surface is 0.560. What is the force constant of the spring?
Homework Equations
Ep=1/2kx^2
Ek=1/2mv^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I used Ek=1/2mv^2 to find Ek and I got 3.6J. I can use Ff=uFn to find force friction, but I don't know what to do? help.
