Moved from a technical forum, so homework template missing.
A block with initial speed 3 meter per second compress the spring in a frictional surface. Given that the spring constant k = 11000 N/M, mass of the block= 2.5 kg, coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.4. Calculate distance d that block travel until it momentarily stopped.
This is my method
initial KE = final PE + Work done by friction
However, is it possible to use force to calculate distance d since the acceleration of block depend on the extent of how much the block compress the spring.
