A 1.00-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P8.60). The object has a speed of vi = 3.00 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d. The object is then forced toward the left by the spring and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring€™s unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring. Find (a) The distance of compression d, (b) The speed v at the unstretched position when the object is moving to the left, and (c) The distance D where the object comes to rest.
