AP Physics 1· difficulty 4/5
A spring of constant is compressed by and launches a block of mass horizontally. The block then crosses a rough patch of length with kinetic friction coefficient before reaching a smooth section. What is the block's speed after leaving the rough patch?
Explanation
Energy balance: . Solving for gives .
