Question

A block weighing 2.50 kg begins its motion from a stationary position at point A, located at the highest point of a frictionless ramp. The ramp is inclined at an angle of 40° relative to the horizontal and has a length of 1.50 m. As the block slides down the ramp, it reaches a region between point B and point C, which is a rough horizontal surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of 0.30. After covering a distance of 1.00 m on the horizontal surface, the block encounters a lightweight spring with a spring constant of 900 N/m.

By employing the work-energy theorem, determine the velocity of the block at point C just before it collides with the spring?
