Question

Problem 37 (Plug-n-chug). The 25-lb block has an initial speed of vo = 10 ft/s when it is midway between springs A and B. After striking spring B, it rebounds

and slides across the horizontal plane toward spring A. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the plane and the block is Hk = 0.4. If the block makes it to spring A, then choose that option below; otherwise, if the block comes to rest before reaching spring A, then determine the total distance traveled by the block. (а) 1.9 ft (b) 2.7 ft (c) 3.1 ft (d) reaches spring A (e)None of these
