A 1.80 kg block slides 3 meters on a rough horizontal surface before hitting a spring. When the block hits the spring, it compresses the spring a distance of 15 cm before coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.50 and the spring constant is 250 N/m, what was the speed of the block at the beginning of the 3 meters?

Chapter 7 Physics:  Use conservation of Energy 

A 1.80 kg block slides 3 meters on a rough horizontal surface before hitting a spring.
When the block hits the spring, it compresses the spring a distance of 15 cm before
coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface
is 0.50 and the spring constant is 250 N/m, what was the speed of the block at the
beginning of the 3 meters?
