Question

A block of mass 3kg moving with a velocity 20ms collides with a spring of force constant 1200 Nm. calculate the maximum compression of the spring.​

Answer 1

here kinetic energy of block converts into spring potential energy

so

1/2mv^2=1/2Kx^2

3×20×20=1200×x^2

x^2=1200÷1200

x=1m

Hope this helps you
