Question
**Box and Spring System Problem**

A 1.3 kg box moves along a horizontal, frictionless floor with a velocity of 5.0 m/s. After traveling 2.0 meters, it presses against a spring with a spring constant of 12.5 N/m. By how much will the spring be compressed when the block is at rest?

**Questions:**

a) How much energy does the system have initially?

b) By how much will the spring be compressed when the block is at rest?

c) If instead of a frictionless surface, a section of the (0.5 meters) floor is replaced by a rougher surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.3 between the box and the surface, how much work would be done on the block when it travels over this rough surface?
