JEE Main · PhysicsMedium

A block of mass $m = 1 \text{ kg}$ is pushed against a spring with spring constant $k = 100 \text{ N/m}$, compressing it by $x = 0.2 \text{ m}$. When released, the block slides on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu = 0.2$. How far will the block travel before coming to rest?

  1. A.$0.5 \text{ m}$
  2. B.$1.0 \text{ m}$
  3. C.$2.0 \text{ m}$
  4. D.$0.25 \text{ m}$
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: B$1.0 \text{ m}$

Solution

Initial energy . Work done by friction . Equating $2 = 2d$ gives .
