AP Physics C: Mechanics
3.4 Conservation of Energy
3.2 Work
A block of mass \(m\) is attached to an ideal horizontal spring of spring constant \(k\). The block is pulled to an initial displacement \(A_0\) from equilibrium and released from rest on a surface with a constant coefficient of kinetic friction \(\mu_k\). Which of the following graphs best represents the total mechanical energy \(E\) of the block-spring system as a function of the total distance \(s\) traveled by the block until it comes permanently to rest?
