Question: A spring ( ( k = 2 4 0 0 = 2 4 0 0 N / / m ) ) is compressed

A spring ((k = 2400= 2400 N//m)) is compressed 0.20.2 m by an 88 kg block. The block is released. It slides on a frictionless surface, up a frictionless hill that is 0.30.3 m tall, and then slides across a short 0.20.2 m path 0.20.2 m long with friction (µ = 0.5).(µ = 0.5). The block then continues onto a frictionless surface. How fast is the block moving when it continues onto the frictionless surface?
