A block of mass \(1\) kg , moving along x with speed \({\mathrm{v}}_{\mathrm{i}}=10\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}\) enters a rough region ranging from \(\mathrm{x}=0.1\mathrm{m}\) to \(\mathrm{x}=1.9\mathrm{m}\). The retarding force acting on the block in this range is \({\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{r}}=-\mathrm{kxN}\), with \(\mathrm{k}=10\mathrm{N}/\mathrm{m}\). Then the final speed of the block as it crosses rough region is

\(8\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}\)
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
& a=\frac{F}{m}=-10 x \\
& v \frac{d v}{d x}=-10 x \\
& \int_{10}^v v d v=-10 \int_{0.1}^{1.9} x d x \\
& \frac{v^2-100}{2}=-10\left(\frac{1.9^2-0.1}{2}\right)^2 \\
& v=8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
