A Block of Mass M Is Initially Moving to the Right

Question 28

Multiple Choice

A block of mass m is initially moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface at a speed v.It then compresses a spring of spring constant k.At the instant when the kinetic energy of the block is equal to the potential energy of the spring, the spring is compressed a distance of:
