![**Physics Problem: Spring and Friction**
A block of mass \( m = 2.15 \, \text{kg} \) slides along a horizontal table with an initial speed of \( v_0 = 1.00 \, \text{m/s} \). At \( x = 0 \), it collides with a spring that has a spring constant of \( k = 73.00 \, \text{N/m} \). As the block moves, it begins to experience a frictional force.
The coefficient of friction between the block and the table is \( \mu = 0.100 \). The problem is to determine how far the spring will be compressed when the block first comes momentarily to rest.
**Diagram Explanation:**
1. **Initial Scenario**:
- A block is shown moving horizontally towards a spring with an initial velocity \( v_0 \) depicted by an arrow.
- The motion occurs on a flat horizontal surface.
2. **Final Scenario**:
- The block has compressed the spring by a distance \( \Delta x \).
- The diagram indicates that at this point, the block momentarily comes to rest.
**Question**: How far is the spring compressed, \(\Delta x\), when the block first momentarily stops?
\[ \Delta x = \, \,\, \text{m} \]
Please fill in the box with the calculation result for \(\Delta x\).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4551f2ef-4c78-4d27-9320-7cb594875026%2F8914d963-d8fe-4fd8-9d7a-6488fee936c4%2F1awycr6_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
