Question

A mass of 0.5 kg moving with a speed of 1.5 m/s on a horizontal smooth surface, collides with a nearly weightless spring of force constant k = 50 N/m. The maximum compression of the spring would be :-

Answer 1

Explanation:

mass of body = m= 0.5kg initial speed of body =v= 1.5m/s spring constant =50N/m kinetic energy of body of 0.5kg so, 1/2

$mv^{2}$

1/2
