In the figure, a 5.00-kg block is moving at 5.00 m/s along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal massless spring that is attached to a wall. After the block collides with the spring, the spring is compressed a maximum distance of 0.68 m. What is the speed of the block when it has moved so that the spring is compressed to only one-half of the maximum distance?

A 5.00 kg block is moving at vi = 6.0 m/s along a frictionless, horizontal surface toward a spring with force constant k = 500 N/m that is attached to a wall (Figure). The spring has negligible mass. (a) Find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed. (b) If the spring is to compress by no more than 0.150 m, what should be the maximum value of vi?
