The diagram below shows a mass moving toward the spring with an initial speed of v0. The mass then collides with the spring and compresses it a distance A' before coming to rest. The mass and the initial speed of the block are 0.980 kg and 1.32 m/s. Supposed you repeat this experiment but the force constant is doubled.
A) By what multiplicative factor do you expect the max compression of the spring to change?
B) Find the new max compression of the spring.
C) Find the time required for the mass to rest after contacting the spring.
