As shown in the figure below, a box of mass m = 6.00 kg is sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface with an initial speed vi= 2.40 m/s when it encounters a spring of constant k = 2350 N/m.

The box comes momentarily to rest after compressing the spring some amount xc. Determine the final compression xc (in m) of the spring.

A box of unknown mass is sliding with an initial speed vi = 5.70 m/s across a horizontal frictionless warehouse floor when it encounters a rough section of flooring d = 3.50 m long. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rough section of flooring and the box is 0.100. Using energy considerations, determine the final speed of the box (in m/s) after sliding across the rough section of flooring.
