- Ek=1/2mv^2 Ep=1/2 k (x)^2
First calculated non conservative work from friction using Ff=umg. Non conservative work was -8.82.
Initial kinetic energy, 1/2mv^2, was 136.89.
Change in potential energy, 1/2k(x)^2, was 8.1216.
Ekf-Eki+Change Ep=Work NC
Ekf=W NC+Eki-change Ep
=-8.82+136.89-8.1216=119.9484
Ekf=1/2mv^2, v=7.3014 but answer should be 7.44. I've confirmed there were no rounding errors by trying the same calculation all at once in the calculator (I still get 7.3).
