A block of mass m = 2.40 kg initially slides along a frictionless horizontal surface with velocity v0 = 4.00 m/s. At position x = 0, it hits a spring with spring constant k = 39.00 N/m and the surface becomes rough, with a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to μ = 0.350. Assume the positive direction is to the right. How far Δx has the spring compressed by the time the block first momentarily comes to rest? Δx = m
