  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Correct answer: C

Solution

(c)
To find the final speed of a block moving through a rough region, consider the following steps:
Given Parameters:
Initial speed of the block, .
Mass of the block, .
Force of friction acting on the block, .

Forces and Acceleration:
The acceleration of the block is given by .
So, we have: .
Using the Relationship:
We use the relationship between velocity, acceleration, and position: .
Substituting gives: .
Integrating the Equation:
Integrate both sides with respect to their variables:

Solving the Integrals:
The left side becomes .
The right side evaluates to .
Therefore:

Final Calculation:
Solve the above equation for :

Simplifying and solving gives:

Solving further:

Therefore, the final speed of the block as it exits the rough region is approximately .
