A 2 kg block slides on a horizontal floor with a speed of 4m/s. It strikes a uncompressed spring, and compresses it till the block is motionless. The kinetic fricion force is 15 N and spring constant is 10,000 N/m. The spring compresses by?
PS This is pretty simple
WE HAVE TO ASSUME THAT FRICTION ACTS ONLY AFTER THE BLOCK STRIKES THE SPRING
IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN THE EQUATION THAT U GAVE IS CORRECT AND WILL GIVE U THE CORRECT
