A freely rolling 1300 kgkg car moving at 0.66 m/sm/s is to compress the spring no more than 7.6×10−2 mm before stopping. 1. What should be the force constant of the spring? Assume that the spring has negligible mass. Express your answer using two significant figures.arrow_forwardA 1.68-kg box rests atop a massless vertical spring with k = 4170 N/m that has been compressed by 14.2 cm from its equilibrium position.
