An object of mass is traveling on a horizontal surface. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface. The object has speed when it reaches and encounters a spring. The object compresses the spring, stops, and then recoils and travels in the opposite direction. When the object reaches on its return trip, it stops.
