A 13.0kg stone slides down an icy, essentially frictionless, hill that is shown in the figure. At the top of the hill, the stone is moving at 1.75m/s down the hill. While the hill is frictionless, the stone experiences friction along the level, rough ground (beyond the base of the hill) all the way to a wall. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.800 and 0.300 respectively. The stone slides along the ground for 9.15m before making contact with a long spring, which has a spring constant of 25.0N/m. (“Long” in this case means that the spring is sufficiently long to stop the stone before it hits the wall.) Will the stone move again after it has been stopped by the spring?
