1. A 9 kg block is pushed by an external force against a spring with spring constant 118 N/m until the spring is compressed by 2.1 m from its uncompressed length (x= 0). The block rests on a horizontal plane that has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.67 but is NOT attached to the spring. After all the external forces are removed (so the compressed spring releases the mass) how far D along the plane will the block move before coming to a stop? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
U=1/2kx^2
KE= 1/2mv^2
If I'm not mistaken, I have to use one of the acceleration formulas,but first i have to find the velocity of the block with the kinetic energy formula
