Example 13-12 depicts the following scenario. A0.980 kg block slides on a frictionless, horizontal surface with aspeed of 1.40 m/sm/s. The block encounters an unstretched springwith a force constant of 263 N/mN/m, as shown in the sketch. Beforethe block comes to rest, the spring is compressed by 8.55 cmcm.
Part A: Suppose the force constant of the spring is doubled, butthe mass and speed of the block remain the same. By whatmultiplicative factor do you expect the maximum compression of thespring to change?
Part C: Find the new maximum compression of the spring.
Part D: Find the time required for the mass to come to restafter contacting the spring.
Part F: Find the total time of contact for v0=1.65v0=1.65m/sm/s, m=0.980m=0.980 kgkg, and k=245k=245 N/mN/m.
