Distance Traveled (Projected by a Spring)
In this problem an object will be placed against a spring and the spring will be compressed. The object will then be fired by the spring and move across a surface with friction. You are to use the work-energy theorem to find the distance traveled by the object as it moves across the surface. Ignore any energy loss that occurs when the object is in contact with the springClick begin to work on this problem

The box below has a mass of is placed against a compressed spring. The box is held at rest for a few seconds and then released so that all the stored energy in the spring is converted into kinetic energy for the box. The box then encounters a rough surface and the box slows and stops as it slides across this second surfaceHow far will the block travel across the surface before coming to rest?
