A block of mass m = 11.54 kg on a rough horizontal surface is attached to a light spring with spring/force constant k = 2.17 kN/m with the other end fixed. The block is pulled xi = 7.66 cm to the right from the equilibrium point and released from the rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough horizontal surface is μk = 0.2. When the block passes through the equilibrium point, what is the velocity of the block vf in m/s?

A block of mass m2 = 10.0 kg, at rest on a horizontal surface that has negligible friction, is connected to a spring which is initially not stretched or compressed. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall, and the spring constant is k = 90 N/m. Another block of mass m1 = 14.0 kg and speed v1 = 3.2 m/s collides with the 10.0 kg block. The blocks stick together, and compress the spring. What is the maximum compression of the spring?
A block of mass ?=5.4kgm=5.4kg slides on a rough surface and moves toward a spring with a spring constant ?=1474N/mk=1474N/m, as shown in the figure below.
