Example 13-12 depicts the following scenario. A 0.980 kg block slides on a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 1.40 m/sm/s. The block encounters an unstretched spring with a force constant of 263 N/mN/m, as shown in the sketch. Before the block comes to rest, the spring is compressed by 8.55 cmcm.
Part A: 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?
Part C: Find the new maximum compression of the spring.
Part D: Find the time required for the mass to come to rest after contacting the spring.
Part F: Find the total time of contact for v0=1.65v0=1.65 m/sm/s, m=0.980m=0.980 kgkg, and k=245k=245 N/mN/m.
