Question

A 4 kg mass slides across a frictionless table at 1.5 m/s, then runs into a very long spring with constant k = 13 N/m. How far does the spring compress, if it brings the mass to a stop? (Enter your answer in meters and to the tenths decimal place, for example: 0.2)

Step 1

We can use the formula: KE = 1/2 * m * v^2 where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the mass, and v is the velocity. Plugging in the values, we get: KE = 1/2 * 4 kg * (1.5 m/s)^2 = 4.5 J Show more…
