A 4.5 kg box slides down a 4.2-m -high frictionless hill,
starting from rest, across a 2.3-m -wide horizontal surface, then
hits a horizontal spring with spring constant 480 N/m . The other
end of the spring is anchored against a wall. The ground under the
spring is frictionless, but the 2.3-m-long horizontal surface is
rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on this
surface is 0.26.
What is the speed of the box just before hitting the...
