Question

a block having mass 10kg moving with the speed of 20m/s striking a spring with spring constant 10000n/m. the maximum compression of the spring is?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2m

Explanation:

Let x be the maximum compression

Using energy conservation,

Change in Kinetic energy of ball = Change in Spring potential energy of spring

$\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} =\frac{1}{2} kx^{2}$

$x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^{2} }{k} }$

x = 2m
