A horizontal spring with spring constant 290 N/m is compressed by 10 cm and then used to launch a 300 g box across the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.23. What is the box's launch speed?

Awater slide of length l has a vertical drop of h. abby's mass is m. an average friction force of magnitude f opposes her motion. she starts down the slide at initial speed vi. use work-energy ideas to develop an expression for her speed at the bottom of the slide. then evaluate your result using unit analysis and limiting case analysis. express your answer in terms of the variables h, m, l, vi, f and appropriate constants. vf v f
