Homework Statement
A horizontal k=200N/m spring is compressed 80cm. A 10kg mass is palced at the of of the spring on a u(mew)=0.15 surface. The mass leaves the spring at the equilibrium (x=0) point with 3.23m/s. Find the total distance (starting from rest) traveled by the mass. (Answer= 4.35)
yea i got my other homework questions but this one confused me. The solution is probably simple, but i have the tendency to overthink. Thank you for the help.
Homework Equations
PEs -umg(0.8) = KE
The Attempt at a Solution
1/2(200*x2) - (0.15*10*9.8*x)= 1/2 (10*v2)
then i used the quadratic formula to find x, but i got like 0.76 i think.
