A 3.9 kg block is accelerated by a compressed spring whose spring constant is 640 N/m. After leaving the spring at the spring's relaxed length, the block travels over a horizontal surface, with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.25, for a distance of 7.9 m before stopping.
(a) What is the increase in the thermal kinetic energy of the block floor system?
