While the block is in contact with the spring and being brought to rest, what are (a) the work done by the spring force and (b) the increase in thermal energy of the block-floor system? (c) What is the block's speed just as the block reaches the spring?
In the figure, a 2.8 kg block is accelerated from rest by a compressed spring of spring constant 620 N/m.
