A spring with spring constant 800 N/m compressed 0.200 m is released and projects a 0.800 kg mass along a frictionless surface. The mass reaches a surface area where mk = 0.400 and comes to a stop.
I don't need any answers here, I can calculate the force exterted by speed and kinetic energy and everything else related to this statement, but what exactly does "The mass reaches a surface area where mk = 0.400 and comes to a stop" mean? This is supposed to be a frictionless surface, so what would stop the mass from moving?
