A 046-Kg Block Is Held in Place Against the Spring by by a 30-N

A 0.46-kg block is held in place against the spring by a 30-N horizontal external force.The external force is removed,and the block is projected with a velocity $v 1 = 1.2 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$ upon separation from the spring,as shown in the figure.The block descends a ramp and has a velocity $v _ { 2 } = 1.5 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$ at the bottom.The track is frictionless between points A and B.The block enters a rough section at point B,extending to E.The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface is 0.38.The velocity of the block is $v _ { 3 } = 1.4 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$ at point C.The block moves on to D,where it stops.What distance does the block travel between points B and D?

A) 0.30 m
B) 0.039 m
C) 0.26 m
D) 0.40 m
E) 0.60 m
