Randall D. Knight β Oscillations: Problem 19
A 500 g air-track glider moving at 0.50 m/s collides with a horizontal spring whose opposite end is anchored to the end of the track. Measurements show that the glider is in contact with the spring for 1.5 s before it rebounds. a. What is the value of the spring constant? b. What is the maximum compression of the spring?
