A linear elastic spring can be compressed 10. 0 cm by an applied force of 5. 0 N. A 4. 5
kg crate of apples, moving horizontally at 2. 0 m/s collides with the spring. What will be
the maximum compression of the spring?

The maximum compression of the spring is 0.6 m.

Spring constant

The spring constant of the spring is calculated as follows;

F = kx

k = F/x

k = (5)/(0.1)

k = 50 N/m

Maximum compression of the spring

The maximum compression of the spring is calculated as follows;

U = K.E

¹/₂kx²  = ¹/₂mv²

x² = (mv²)/(k)

x = √(mv²)/(k)

x = √(4.5 x 2²)/(50)

x = 0.6 m

Thus, the maximum compression of the spring is 0.6 m.
