Question
A 6.00 ✕ 105 kg subway train is brought to a stop from a speed of 0.500 m/s in 0.600 m by a large spring bumper at the end of its track. What is the force constant k of the spring?
Expert Solution

Step 1
Given :
m = 6.00 × 105 kg
vf = 0 (because finally the train is brought to rest)
vi = 0.500 m/s
xi = 0
xf = 0.600 m
