V=10 m/s k=600 Nm
2 kg
:
A 2 kg object is launched at a velocity of v=10 m/s
towards a spring with a spring constant of k=600
N/m, as shown in the figure. Calculate
a) the compression of the spring at the moment the
velocity of the object is 5 m/s,
b) the maximum amount of compression of the
spring. (Neglect any friction effects.)
