A 1.5 kg sphere is dropped from a height of 30
cm onto a spring of spring constant, k = 2000N
m-1. After the block hits the spring, the spring
experiences maximum compression, x as shown
in Figure 4.15.
a. Describe the energy conversion
occurred after the sphere is
dropped onto the spring until the
spring experiences maximum
compression, x.
b. Calculate the speed of the sphere just
before strikes the spring.
c. Determine the maximum compression, x.
30 cm
