Friction is a force that speeds up motion between two surfaces that are in contact

What is the measure of a change in an objects velocity?

If y gets smaller as x gets bigger and y have an relationship?

Aspring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. the spring has a constant k = 30 kn/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.
