Problem

1.5\,\text{kg}

block slides across a frictionless horizontal surface at

3.0\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1}

and compresses an ideal spring of constant

k = 200\,\text{N}\!\cdot\!\text{m}^{-1}

fixed to a wall. What is the maximum compression of the spring? a)

0.18\,\text{m}

0.26\,\text{m}

0.15\,\text{m}

0.36\,\text{m}
