Is this correct for this problem part b

Energy at start of stage 2: Estart = 2k, (0.30) + mu PEleft KE But from your earlier work we know the total mechanical energy is 9.0 J, so Estart = 9.0 J. Energy at the turning point (block stops, only left spring stretched): Eend max Conservation again: Estart = Eend = 9.0 = - (100). ma N 501 max = 9.0 = ~max 0.18 + max ~ 0.424 m So when the block stops moving to the right, the left spring is stretched about 0.42 m. That extra little calculation is what you still need to add to fully answer the "stop moving to the right" part
