Question
A 1500 gm mass slides across a horizontal frictionless surface at a speed of 2 m/sec until it collides with and sticks to the free end of a spring with force constant 50 N/m. The spring’s other end is anchored to a wall. (a) How far has the spring compressed when the mass is, at least for an instant, at rest? (b) What is the period?
