 Shown in the figure below is a block and track system.

Shown in the figure below is a block and track system. All locations indicated by solid black lines are frictionless. The region indicated by the tan hash is a patch of friction with coefficient MK = 0.255. A small block of mass m = 1.22 kg is initially compressed against a spring. The spring constant is k = 95.3 N/m and the initial compression is x, = 0.51 meters. After the mass leaves the spring it climbs up the hill of height y3 = 0.59 meters and eventually slides to a stop after entering the frictional patch. + V3= ? m E (stopped) V2= ? friction d=? m N Calculate all the following: The velocity of the mass after it leaves the spring but before it climbs the hill, v2 = m/s The velocity of the mass at the top of the hill, v3 = m/s The distance the mass slides onto the frictional area, d = meters
