. It then runs into and compresses a spring until the box momentarily stops. Its path to the initially relaxed spring is frictionless, but as it compresses the spring, a kinetic frictional force from the floor acts on the box. The kinetic frictional coefficient is . The maximum of the static frictional coefficient is . The spring constant is k = 720 N/m . Ignore the size of the box.
A box of 2 kg is sliding along a floor with speedBy what distance d is the spring compressed when the box stops?
