A 0.990 kg block slides on a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 1.40 m/s. The block encounters an unstretched spring with a force constant of 231 N/m. Before the block comes to rest, the spring is compressed by 9.17 cm. 1) Suppose the force constant of the spring is doubled, but the mass and speed of the block remain the same. By what multiplicative factor do you expect the maximum compression of the spring to change? Explain. 2)...
