Ahorizontal 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?

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? how long does it take you to stop after the light changes? the known values: vi=20m/s xi=110m t=.50s vf=0m/s xf=0m a=?
