Question
A 1.2 kg block is held at rest against the spring with a force constant k= 730 N/m. Initially, the spring is compressed a distance d. When the block is released, it slides across a surface that is frictionless except for a rough patch of width 5.0 cm that has a coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.44. Find d, such that the block’s speed after crossing the rough patch is 2.3 m/s.

Answer:
Compression distance:
Explanation:
According to this statement, we know that system is non-conservative due to the rough patch. By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem, we have the following expression that represents the system having a translational kinetic energy (
), in joules, at the expense of elastic potential energy (
), in joules, and overcoming work losses due to friction (
), in joules:
By definitions of translational kinetic and elastic potential energies and work losses due to friction, we expand the equation described above:
Where:
If we know that
