A 0.80-kg block slides on a horizontal surface and collides with one end of a horizontal spring (spring constant 50 N/m) where the other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. The speed of the block just as it collides with the uncompressed spring is 1.0 m/s. The block then compresses the spring by a maximum amount of 0.10 m. (a) What is the net work done on the block from just before the collision to the time of maximum spring compression? (b) How much work is done by the spring force on the block from just before the collision to the time of maximum spring compression? (c) How much work is done by kinetic friction on the block from just before the collision to the time of maximum spring compression? (d) What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force between the block and the surface? (e) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface?
